Need a album recommendation? Cosmic Ear brings together some of the finest Swedish musicians (Christer Bothèn, Mats Gustafsson, Kansan Zetterberg, Göran Kajfeš, Juan Romero). Inspired by Don Cherry, but not a classical hommage, rather its own beauty #jazzsky

Spent the weekend at the #MoersFestival. Weather was mediocre, not all organisation perfect, but this is the most daring, humanistic, emotional, in short: best festival on earth. Cheers and thanks to a fantastic team putting this miracle together every year #Jazzsky

Nearly $7 trillion USD is invested annually in activities harming nature, while investments in Nature-based Solutions total only around $200 billion.

It’s time to flip these numbers.

Check UNEP’s State of Finance for Nature for more data: financefornature.unep.org
A tree split in half shows a big gap in spending. On the left, fewer dollar signs for nature-based solutions ($200 billion). On the right, many dollar signs for harmful activities ($7 trillion).
