Thanks to the Sustainable Nitrogen Alliance for joining us in Parliament to discuss the issue of nitrogen pollution, which impacts several of the drivers and causes of both climate change and biodiversity loss, from agricultural and water pollution to air quality and GHG levels.

When addressing the climate crisis, the focus often centers on carbon dioxide emissions & methane. Yet nitrous oxide is 300 times more potent & remains active in the atmosphere for more than 100 years. Urgent action is needed to #BeatNitrogenPollution: https://t.co/8Ni2siJ0sF

Nutrient pollution threatens drinking water, endangers health and kills ecosystems☠️ @EU_Commission promised a plan to address this. We must: ✅embrace #agroecology ✅reduce #FoodWaste ✅shift to #SustainableDiets Where is #INMAP ⁉️ Joint letter 👉 https://t.co/vedJGiDdRR

Dr. Chris Malley @SEIresearch highlights the importance of implementing NDCs. In Nigeria, implementing the NDC will see 30,000 fewer people dying from air pollution in addition to benefits of reducing climate change. Great session at @CCACoalition meeting in Bangkok.

I love my job so much. I love the people I work with. I want them to be paid fairly regardless of their gender or race. I want manageable workloads so that they can spend time with the ones they love. I want them to be on secure contracts. 1/

Heiner Gröschner (@bioland) stressed the differentiation of yield between conventional farming and #organic farming is also linked to not using synthetic #pesticides in organic. Proper fertilization CAN solve the #yieldgap.

Josette Garnier "#Organic IS NOT less productive, organic farmers who use a lot of fertilizers can harvest as much as conventional ones. If we combine #fertilizers reduction with a change of diet (less meat and more vegetables), the gap in terms of food production can be solved."

Time for like minded initiatives in Africa to link up to match policy with modelling, measurements and evaluation @AfricaNitrogen @ANGA_AtmosSci
New @CCACoalition African Integrated Assessment of Air Polluton and Climate Change also shows how N pollution N2O (40%), NH3 (67%) and NOx (80%) could be significantly reduced under the Agenda 2063 Scenario by 2030 and 2063 @_AfricanUnion @FAO @TowardsINMS @INI_Global @INI_Europe

This report is something that we at @SEIresearch are incredibly proud to have supported. Truly integrated perspective on #climate and #SDGs , owned and developed regionally, and filling important data gaps. @_AfricanUnion @CCACoalition @UNEP @SustDev
#COP27 In-Person Event | Africa Air Assessment Join us TOMORROW to launch the new Integrated Assessment of #AirPollution and Climate Change for Sustainable Development in Africa, together with @_AfricanUnion, @CCACoalition and @UNEP. Find out more: https://t.co/hUL2qsVZwF
