Handed over! Joint global call for a Wetlands Ministerial at COP30 signed by 120+ orgs from 45 countries was delivered to Ana Toni Executive Director of @cop30brazil.bsky.social at a pre-COP meeting in the Pantanal

Wetlands are key climate solutions. A high level event would push them up the agenda

Very proud that Wetlands International partnered with @minaguli.bsky.social & @thirstfoundation.bsky.social on the #WorldRiverRun

Fantastic way to raise awareness about our the need to protect & restore our rivers - and raise funds for community water & wetland projects 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👏

Just 4 days to #WorldRiverRun with @minaguli.bsky.social.

Fantastic to see so many people signing up to take part and help raise awareness about the need to protect & restore rivers.

Our team has already pledged to run (& walk!) 100km. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Still time to sign up: go.runblue.org

Wetlands like the Pantanal are #carbon sinks. But wetland-specific solutions are still absent from most countries’ emissions reduction pledges.
