@NPP_GH @GOP @realDonaldTrump @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @JDVance three important reasons donald trump won: (1) A Vice President cannot be disassociated from the record of a President, (2) Change is always change from the immediate past and the promise of change to a better future does not cut it, and (3) It is about the economy, stupid!

🌱More than 50% of the world's #mangroves are at risk of collapse. ⚠️However, these ecosystems play a vital role in #coastalprotection and #NbS, as demonstrated by the #MeerWissen partnership project @MANCOGA in #Ghana: 🔗 https://t.co/e1DeKFLMVq

MANCOGA aims at using mangroves to develop a robust and participatory Nature-based Solution to reduce coastal hazards. Inform yourself here.
🌱The first global assessment by IUCN’s @redlisteco and partners reveals that over ½ of the world's #mangroves are at risk of collapse. #Climate change, #deforestation, and pollution are just some the threats to these vital ecosystems. Read more ➡ https://t.co/f0uk7TCeVT

🔔Explore the impressive mapping of mangroves' current state and changes over time by @FAO and experts. Thanks, @UNBiodiversity for sharing! 🌿Our partnership project @mancoga in Ghana is all about recognising the importance of mangroves and working on nature-based solutions.
Mangroves are ecosystems that protect us from #ClimateChange, preserve biodiversity, support livelihoods & more. For the first time @FAO & experts have mapped the current state of mangrove forests & how they have changed over time. 👉 https://t.co/T6gbP0GYFX Via @FAO
