"Indigenous cultural knowledge should be utilised to combat climate change. Trust us to lead you, because we are doing this for humanity" Indigenous cultural knowledge is a largely under-utilised resource in the global fight against the effects of the climate crisis. Indigenous peoples were some of the the first groups to observe climate change and also have critical knowledge for mitigation and adaptation. #cop29 #cop29azerbaijan #climatechange #globalwarming #culturalknowledge #indigenouspeople #combatclimatechange #chec

Could sea grass be used as an effective carbon sink? 🌊🌱 Researchers are undertaking the largest comprehensive study along the 8,000+ kilometres of Italian coastline of sea grass. It is being digitally mapped and monitored, which will help give researchers the best data in order to understand how it can best sequester carbon. Started in 2022, the project hopes to wrap up in 2026. #azerbaijan #baku #cop29 #cop29azerbaijan #research #seagrass #carbonsink #carbonsequestration Seagrass Photo by @johnmarkarnold

🌊"You cannot talk about the climate without talking about the ocean. Loss and Damage finally made it on the COP agenda, could Oceans finally be next?" 🌊🌺 Strengthening Voice of the Pacific through the 4th Oceans Pacific Climate Change Conference in the Moana Blue Pacific Pavilion highlighted the challenges the Pacific region is facing with climate change and inclusion in the decision making process at climate conferences. It was also a call to have traditional knowledge on the Pacific not only be applied to the regional and local levels, but on a global level as well. Who better to advise on the challenges in the region than those who live there? #cop29 #cop29azerbaijan #pacific #oceans #chec #climaterisk #SIDS #moanabluepacific #climateaction #traditionalknowledge
