On #IntlForestDay, we celebrate the power of forests & the urgent need to protect them. The climate emergency is happening faster than predicted & deforestation is a leading contributor. Together, we can slow, stop & reverse deforestation. #ForestDay #ClimateAction

We proudly provide policy & technical expertise to countries in saving rainforests. We help them sell their emissions reductions as #CarbonCredits or offsets to individuals & corporations, so they receive deserved funds.

Thankfully, our rainforest nations have already made progress in reducing forest-related emissions and are demonstrating climate leadership by protecting their forests at the expense of economic growth.

🌎 “We can still secure a liveable sustainable future for all.”

After years of work, the #IPCC has published a synthesis report on the latest #ClimateChange science.

Forests give us so much🌲🌳

🫧They purify our water
🧽They clean our air
🌎They fight climate change
💊They give us food and life-saving medicines

Healthy forests for healthy people

REDD+ generates verified emission reductions for compensation, agreed by UNFCCC countries and verified by third-party experts with safeguards against risks. It complies with the Paris Agreement & offers an effective solution to cut emissions. Read more: https://bit.ly/3xxH6a8 🌍

Forests act as a barrier to disease transmission between animals & humans. Deforestation increases the risk of diseases spilling over to humans. 30% of new diseases since 1960 are attributed to land-use change, such as #deforestation. Let's protect forests for a healthier planet!
