We know the ocean is gravely impacted by #climatechange, but can it also be a solution? Marine CO2 removal falls in roughly 6 groups, explains @steve_swi at #COP27 event by @OneOceanHub. What’s best w/ least risk? Ecosystem recovery! #winwin #BlueCarbon

In order to #decarbonize supply chain (Scope 3), we need fluid communication across providers. However, the gap to@make it happen is massive. @AmirSokolowski of @CDP shows at #COP27 28% need to report, but 1% are incentivized and 4% have the tools to monitor & meet compliance

1️⃣ Enabling policy conditions.2️⃣ Scaling high quality project implementation.3️⃣ Large scale strategic financing.4️⃣ Building global capacity.

🧵Nature, particularly #bluecarbon, is a clear part of the solution for #climatemitigation & #adaptation at #COP27. So what’s keeping us from scaling up? At the launch of the Blue Carbon Institute with @govsingapore @ConservationOrg and @amazon, @Aus_epidgeon explains:

It’s no surprise that islands feel disproportionate damages from #climatechange. They also face unique challenges transitioning to #netzero. Yet successes in islands teaches us all rapid transition and brave leadership is possible #cop27 @Local2030IN

Why do we call this #foodcop27? Because ~1/3 of global emissions come from food 😱. At #COP27, food is center. How do we fix soil, shift diets, ensure equity to farmers & consumers, show food is medicine, & turn agriculture from a carbon source to a carbon sink?

Did you ✈️ to #COP27 concerned about your #CarbonFootprint? Insights from tourism experts:.1️⃣Think hard & care about how & where you travel.2️⃣Be open to experience places & activities differently.3️⃣Know your footprint & choose companies making real effort.

The science shows: there’s just 1️⃣ way tourism reaches #NetZero by 2050. A 👀 of the new @travelTF & @bredauas report in @Bloomberg. “Every sector of travel would have to throw all it has behind climate action without delay to make a dent in emissions.”.

RT @waveofchange: As part of our 2030 carbon neutrality goal, we are taking action for a #netzero transition by embracing electrification a….

.@Karen_sack closes emphasizing the principles help mobilize high-integrity capital & should demonstrate additionality, durability, & equity for stakeholders. After all, nature is an important insurance policy & should be seen as a resilience asset, not an unpaid externality.

Community and co-design should be center. Esther Ngure of @BlueVentures says projects must ensure communities benefit. Remember they also they take time. We need patient capital and fair deals from the start.

As @whit_berns explains, the principles are a strong start and consensus - and we’re still iterating. That’s a good thing, we’re still learning how to optimize #integrity and #quality for #bluecarbon

Remember, before thinking about #naturebased carbon compensation 🌳, first #decarbonize ⬇️! Of course, check out how @iberostar is doing both at our recently launched decarbonization roadmap 😉 @waveofchange
