Today marks a turning point for our future. The US has now passed historic climate and clean energy investments. More work remains. But today's action sets us firmly on the path to success in this nation’s struggle against the climate crisis.

We can’t solve the crises of climate change and biodiversity loss without nature. This transaction in Colombia will help finance the long-term protection of that nation’s most treasured places. But it also charts a course for other nations to follow.

Protecting mangroves helps improve livelihoods, keep carbon in the ground, and safeguard coastal communities against the ravages of severe storms. We’re energized to partner with @BezosEarthFund to advance this work in Colombia and around the world.
Mangroves play a pivotal role in protecting ecosystems and the planet. They act as a natural solution to climate change, nurture biodiversity, shield coastlines, and support local livelihoods. We are working with @World_wildlife and others to protect this natural powerhouse.

We need more companies to advocate for strong climate policy to build momentum in Congress. With the budget and infrastructure bills currently being debated, it's now or never. Thanks to Walmart's @kathleenforgood for sending this important signal: https://t.co/XlWGtCBH9z
