.@DeidreBrock if it goes ahead Cambo will produce climate pollution equal to 18 coal-fired power plants running for a year, creating devastating climate destruction. Please tell @BorisJohnson to #StopCambo

Tomorrow is a Global Day for #ClimateAction. Join a march near you and tell our leaders at #COP26 that failure is not an option. Cant join in person then join online Keep 1.5 Alive https://t.co/L1sYNxPBnj

Amazing to see @lydcole present all the amazing work we have been doing about #peatlands in #Peru at #COP26...such an incredible carbon rich ecosystem that needs protecting
"These #peatlands are key to climate change mitigation and protecting them should play a central role in Peru's nationally determined contributions to the UN Paris Agreement" - Lydia Cole, Research Fellow Tropical peatlands, @univofstandrews #COP26 #PeatlandsMatter

"Nature gives us life. It is beautiful but it is also fragile. I was reminded of this in July when I went into space." Jeff Bezos. That's Cop26's Marie Antoinette moment.

🌲 Scientists studying tropical forests in Africa’s mountains were surprised to uncover how much carbon they store, and how fast some of these forests are being cleared. ✍️ Published in @Nature. Co-authors: @EdMitchard @wheeler_char 📸 @EdMitchard

Monitoring #forestdegradation is challenging especially without suitable ground data See our new paper where we present a new field protocol to improve forest degradation field data with @EdMitchard @harry_carstairs and @FIPRODEFO

🍃🌱🌳Nature-based solutions can help tackle climate change, enhance biodiversity and promote human well-being. But how can we make sure they’re carefully implemented? Find out in the new #COP26Universities briefing paper I helped co-author: https://t.co/C7PUFmjipi

How fast can #forests sequester #carbon? Our new study published in @nature predicts 2.4 Pg C yr-1 could be sequestered in naturally regenerating forest meaning forest regrowth could play an important role in climate change mitigation https://t.co/UCZGGZOsr4

I'm really looking forward to being part of the 1st panel at the #Nbsdigitaldialogues this afternoon, discussing the potential of NBS for climate mitigation
Here's the full program to the #NbSdigitaldialogues starting today at 12:15 BST. Follow the discussion on twitter! https://t.co/16k6UOXx5z

UK has a target to plant 30,000 ha of tree a year. ❔ Is it enough? 🌴 What should we plant where? ❓ Do we have the tree stocks or skilled workforce to create sustainable woodlands? Catch @wheeler_char 's interview on @Costingtheearth @BBCRadio4 👇 https://t.co/HlBcP0ZwjK

The UK has a target to plant 30,000 hectares of tree a year, it's a lot but is it ambitious enough? And what should we plant where? @Costingtheearth investigates and also asks if we have the tree stocks or the skilled workforce to create sustainable woodlands. @BBCRadio4 3.30 pm

I was interviewed for @Costingtheearth on @BBCRadio4 about the UKs plans to plant 30,000ha of trees a year to help mitigate climate change. An interesting discussion about the benefits & pitfalls of widescale tree planting #trees #forests #planting

Great thread from @EdMitchard this year is so hugely important if we are going to have a chance of preventing the #ClimateEmergency As host nation of @COP26 we need to be doing everything we can to put pressure on our government to make the negotiations a success
So I was chatting to my colleagues yesterday about what @AlokSharma_RDG, the new @COP26President and therefore for the next 275 days one of the most important politicians on the planet, MUST do to prevent the #ClimateEmergency resulting in #ClimateCatastrophe (a thread) 1/18
