To keep temperature rise to 1.5°C, we must remove carbon already out there in addition to cutting emissions.

We need carbon removals: natural or industrial activities that remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Tomorrow, we'll present our 🇪🇺 Certification of Carbon Removals proposal.

A recent study shows how warming scenarios will affect global aridity and impact species ranges.

As habitable areas shift and shrink for many #species, the most effective #ProtectedAreas 🗺 will need to be reconsidered.
