#Wetlands not only create habitat corridors, supporting biodiversity, they also store carbon & act as natural climate buffers, reducing the impacts of extreme weather events.
Wetlands are a vital ecosystem for a healthy planet & sustainable cities 🌍
#WorldWetlandsDay 💚 #ActForWetlands
Cape Coast City #ActForWetlands 💚
Through our #UNAResilience project, #CapeCoast, Ghana has developed a Roadmap, using a people-centred approach, to restore the Fosu lagoon, balancing conservation with economic benefits & climate resilience.
#WorldWetlandsDay #WWD2025
To increase environmental awareness, cities can organize events such as guided wetland tours, birdwatching activities & clean-up drives, and collaborate with schools & universities to use wetlands as outdoor classrooms 🍃🦩🐟
#WorldWetlandsDay #WWD2025
Cities can educate communities on the
importance of #wetlands for:
🔘Filtering water: improving water quality for drinking & sanitation
🔘Regulating stream flow, preventing floods & mitigating droughts
#WorldWetlandsDay #WWD2025 #WetlandsForOurCommonFuture #ForNature
🌏To restore & maintain #wetlands, #cities need to integrate wetland management & budget goals into:
🗺️Municipal development plans & zoning regulations
📃Climate resilience strategies

A chart by the World Economic Forum titled Global Risks Ranked by Severity. Extreme weather events and biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse are ranked 1 and 2 respectively under long term (10 year) risks.
Environmental risks dominate @weforum.org Global Risks Report 2025.
Extreme weather & #biodiversity loss top 10-year threats. Pollution rises in short-term urgency. 🌍
The IPBES #NexusAssessment just showed how important it is to tackle interlinked crises together.

By encouraging eco-tourism, community-based initiatives & sustainable agriculture, cities can support local livelihoods that benefit from wetlands 🙌🌍
