From the Cerrado savannah of Brazil, to the forests and shrublands of eastern Australia, the Miombo woodlands of south-central Africa and the ancient woodlands in the UK, healthy and diverse ecosystems are vital to the future of our planet.
Following the COP26 summit, we brought together leading conservationists and environmental scientists Ben Goldsmith, Megan McCubbin, Professor Tim Lenton, Dr Alex Dehgan, Dr Mark Wright and Hannah MacInnes for our virtual event ‘How To Restore Nature In A Warming World’.
We took a closer look at climate change and biodiversity over the last century, as well as the impacts of the changes, and we explored the potential tipping points that could bring fundamental changes to our world.
Watch: How To Restore Nature In A Warming World
Nature is a powerful ally in the fight against climate change – and WWF promises to protect, manage and restore threatened habitats and species across the globe.
The world faces a triple challenge: we need to take urgent action to reverse nature loss while tackling the climate crisis and meeting humanity’s food needs. These are inextricably linked – we will only succeed if we address them all. And we all have a role to play no matter where in the world we are.
The good news is that with the right political backing, the committed engagement of the business and finance sectors and all of us as individuals we can make the necessary changes to help nature to bounce back and to limit the rise in global temperatures.
