Harnessing nature to tackle climate change. Local communities are building ponds and terraces with the help of UNICEF and partners in Timor-Leste. This helps reduce flooding and erosion, and store water for drier times to create safe and sustainable water sources for children and their families. #COP30
Sustainable and safe water sources are fundamental for children and their families. Thank you UNICEF for helping the local communities in Timor-Leste.🇹🇱👏
Nature-based solutions like ponds and terraces are a powerful way to address both climate resilience and community well-being. UNICEF’s support in Timor-Leste demonstrates how local engagement, traditional knowledge, and sustainable planning can protect children, secure water resources, and reduce disaster risk. This is exactly the kind of integrated approach we need to tackle climate challenges globally.” #ClimateAction #NatureBasedSolutions #SustainableDevelopment #WaterSecurity #COP30
Protecting communities is vital yet relying on nature based fixes alone risks delaying the hard structural shifts COP30 demands.
👏👏👏👍👍❤️
Nature-based solutions at work! Local communities in Timor-Leste are proving that simple, sustainable approaches ponds and terraces can address multiple challenges at once. By reducing flooding, preventing erosion, and securing water for dry seasons, they're building resilience while protecting children's futures. This is climate action rooted in community wisdom. 🌊🌍 #COP30
