In these critical times, urgent action is needed to address the pressing issue of climate change. With global leaders from various sectors convening for Climate Week at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, the need for bold and tangible steps to tackle the climate and biodiversity crises is more apparent than ever before. NICC is proud to be part of this constructive dialogue and to contribute to the growing momentum for meaningful change. It is time to move beyond mere commitments and turn them into decisive action. #climateweeknyc

Today marked the Opening Ceremony of Climate Week NYC - one of the largest annual climate events of its kind, bringing together some 400 events and activities across the City of New York – in person, hybrid and online. It was a fantastic event hosted by the Climate Group, an international non-profit whose purpose is to drive climate action, with this year's key theme being: "We Can. We Will." Action and Relentless Determination were emphasized across the various sessions and guest speakers due to the fact that we're currently on track for a 2.5-3.0°C rise in global temperatures versus the targeted 1.5°C. Thus, the urgency and why the most important decade of climate action is upon us, all of us, including heads of state, government officials, CEOs, civil society leaders, and the public. One of the guest speakers, Razan Al Mubarak (President of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and UN Climate Change High-Level Champion), really stood out to me with her statements on how ironic it is that "we are losing nature in a time when we need nature the most", that "climate change is a consequence of the mismanagement of nature", and how critical it is that we invest in nature-based solutions due to its carbon absorptive / sequestration capacity.

🌍 International Day Against Climate Change: A Global Call to Action 🌍 Since 2009, every October 24th marks the International Day Against Climate Change. This day is a global reminder of the urgent need to address climate change's far-reaching consequences and risks to all life on our planet. Climate change, a long-term alteration in the Earth's climate system, is a complex challenge driven primarily by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation and intensive agriculture. The consequences of climate change are increasingly evident and severe, necessitating immediate action. 📖 Explore our publication on how genomics contributes to climate change mitigation. https://ow.ly/ycgl50PZYmB Let's unite in the fight against climate change to protect our planet for future generations. 🌏 #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture #Genomics #ClimateChange

Ancestral knowledge holds key solutions to facing climate change. That's why we're proud to join both African Climate Week and the African Climate Summit. In our journey to #COP28, we share vital wisdom in natural resource management, Indigenous business models, and resilient climate adaptation systems. As guardians of 25% of the world's land, we're confident that this knowledge holds the answers to tackle climate challenges through collaborative, multisectoral efforts. Stay connected as we share how Indigenous knowledge is shaping impactful climate solutions. #AfricaClimateWeek #IndigenousSolutions
