*[Enwl-eng] [can-eecca] "Youth mobilizing for natural climate solutions" webinar, May 14

[ENWL]

Today’s youth are facing two existential crises at once: climate breakdown 
and ecological breakdown. Natural climate solutions not only have the 
capacity to address both of these, but they are critical if we have any hope 
of meeting the 1.5 degree target.



Youth4Nature is a youth-led, international initiative that is empowering 
young people around the world to mobilize for natural climate solutions and 
hold our political leaders to account on both the climate and ecological 
crises.



To celebrate their recent launch, Youth4Nature is hosting an online webinar 
on May 14, 15:00 UTC. One-part knowledge-sharing and one-part rally, this 
event will feature talks from leading scientists and global youth leaders.

Join us, as we steward a movement of young people advocating for both nature 
and climate!










What is natural climate solutions?


Also known as nature-based solutions, are proven ways of mitigating climate 
change through conservation, restoration, and improved management in 
forests, wetlands, and grasslands. According to the ground-breaking study 
led by the Nature Conservancy, natural climate solutions have the potential 
to provide 37% of cost-effective CO2 mitigation needed through 2030 for 
greater than a two-third chance of keeping warming below 2Co. The majority 
of these nature-based solutions can also offer a suite of additional 
benefits that will aid in climate adaptation, including flood buffering, 
improving soil health and biodiversity habitat, and enhancing climate 
resilience. However, the role that nature can play in climate action is not 
recognized in discussion or in funding.
