Global warming, pollution are stripping vibrant colours from nature Climate change and pollution are draining nature's colors, affecting ecosystems and species' survival and reproduction globally.

Climate change is draining color from nature: greener oceans, browning forests, whitening reefs. Warming and pollution are even changing how insects and birds look, adapt, and survive. This is a warning we can see.

THE LAST FLOWER.
La desaparición de los hábitats florales no es un problema “medioambiental”:
es un riesgo estructural para alimentos, suelos y polinizadores.

Cuando el paisaje se fragmenta, la flor se queda sola.
Y una flor sola es una advertencia.

Scientists warn against prioritising tech-driven carbon removals over nature solutions "We urge SBTi and the Article 6.4 Supervisory Body to move beyond the false binary of 'permanent vs. non-permanent'."

These forgotten childhood books paint a vanishing picture of the UK The Ladybird seasons collection captured a countryside of natural abundance. But with wildlife numbers in stark decline, they're starting to look more like fiction.

Do you remember the "What to look for in..." Ladybird books? I found this article on the Penguin books website, and it hit hard bringing tears. Our natural world is in peril and our kids will never experience this: www.penguin.co.uk/discover/art... #NatureLoss #Biodiversity #ClimateAction

The household and personal care products sector contributes to drivers of #NatureLoss, such as land conversion and deforestation from upstream production, significant water consumption and more.

For #WorldEnvironmentDay we’re sharing our guidance for the sector.

#theArchers - the thing is, Rochelle is right about the links between animal agriculture, carbon emissions and nature loss, and the fact that the meat industry thrives on apathy and cognitive dissonance. Thank you scriptwriters for giving her the chance to say so! #animalagriculture #natureloss

Nature decline and climate change add over £200 a year to household bills During the 2024 election campaign, Labour pledged that people would feel better off under their government. But, the cost of living crisis continues to weigh heavily on households, with recent repo…

"In 2024, record levels of weather damage pushed insurance payouts up to £1.2bn. This raised annual UK home insurance premiums by an average of £42 per household [and] without action these costs are likely to keep on rising."

A Critical Year for Nature Action 🌿

The first three months of 2025 have been eventful, with encouraging signs of progress on nature action despite a complex global landscape. This year must be a turning point to halt and reverse #NatureLoss by 2030.

Cop16 nature summit agrees deal at 11th hour but critics say it is not enough UN biodiversity conference in Rome ends with fragile accord but questions remain over whether funding will emerge

Bit of a “phew!” moment for those whose eyes are open to species decline but still much to do!

This is why our leaders must know that we care about nature and that we feel investing in halting nature loss is well worth the money.

Actually - the climate crisis is GOOD for the economy - look at all these cars people will need to replace. #climatecrisis #natureloss

Central banks must address the financing of deforestation, a major contributor to climate change and nature loss which affect global market and price stability, say Maria Fernanda Contreras del Valle and Pablo Pacheco of WWF.
