International Day of #Forests: #Climate #resilience in action

March 21, 2026, #BirdLifeInternational

"Today is International Day of Forests! Covering almost a third of the Earth’s land, forests contain over 80% of all land animals, insects and plant species, and are home for around 300 million people. Forests recycle the air we breathe, purify water, regulate rainfall and store carbon, making them a key player in the fight against #ClimateChange.

"Worldwide, climate change is intensifying floods, droughts, heatwaves and fire, leading to degraded forest landscapes that negatively impact the biodiversity and communities that depend on them. But across our partnership, #BirdLifePartners are showing how locally led, #NatureBasedSolutions can reduce risk and protect livelihoods, helping #communities and #ecosystems adapt.

"The Forest Impact Accelerator was designed precisely for this purpose: to turn promising ideas into investable, durable solutions that strengthen climate resilience while conserving #biodiversity and boosting local livelihoods."

Giving back to Calgary: an article was published today about my satellite research of the city!

It is important to me to use my knowledge as a geoscientist and environmental data scientist to help make our new home better and greener. Thanks to LiveWire Calgary for the interest in this topic!

Urban Mini-forests Can Reinvent How Cities Grow, Learn, and Respond to Climate Stress
✍️ Rafael Ribeiro & Sheila Ceccon — São Paulo 🇧🇷

What if climate resilience began with tiny forests in schoolyards and vacant lots? 🌳

In São Paulo, mini-forests are cooling streets, restoring biodiversity, and building community care. Small scale. Big impact. 🌱

How concerned is Europe with slashing climate emissions and delivering #NatureBasedSolutions

Wars and arms are just making the super rich, richer. Please at least put defence and climate action on a even footing, as public goods.
