Water is essential, but not equally accessible. On #WorldWaterDay, inequalities in water access and decision-making continue to affect women and girls. Advancing gender equality in water governance is key to resilient ecosystems and sustainable development.

On #InternationalDayofForests, we recognize forests’ vital role in biodiversity, livelihoods, and climate regulation. As highlighted by @astridschomaker.bsky.social, safeguarding forests is key to achieving the #KMGBF & halting biodiversity loss.

🌿 The theme of #IDB2026 is: “Acting locally for global impact.” From indigenous peoples & local communities, youth, women, to businesses & civil society, biodiversity action is strongest when it is driven by a whole-of-society approach. 🔗 www.cbd.int/article/2026...

125 Parties have submitted their 7th National Reports under the Convention on Biological Diversity. These reports provide key information on national progress to implement the #KMGBF and will inform the global review of progress at #COP17 in Yerevan. 🔗 www.cbd.int/article/2026...
