FACTS TO KNOW
NASA and NOAA data show that global averages in 2016 were 1.78 degrees F (0.99 degrees C) warmer than the mid-20th century average. Seventeen of the 18 warmest years have occurred since 2000.

2016 WAS THE WARMEST YEAR ON RECORD
FACTS TO KNOW
Eleven percent of all global greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans are caused by deforestation — comparable to the emissions from all of the cars and trucks on the planet.
11% OF EMISSIONS.
FACTS TO KNOW
In the Amazon, 1% of tree species sequester 50% of the region’s carbon.
THE AMAZON IS A CARBON-STORING POWERHOUSE
FACTS TO KNOW
Eleven percent of the world’s population is currently vulnerable to climate change impacts such as droughts, floods, heat waves, extreme weather events and sea-level rise.

FACTS TO KNOW
Conserving ecosystems is often more cost-effective than human-made interventions. In the Maldives, building a sea wall for coastal protection cost about US$ 2.2 billion. Even after 10 years of maintenance costs, it is still four times cheaper to preserve the natural reef.�
SAVE NATURE.
IT’S CHEAPER
FACTS TO KNOW
An area of coastal ecosystems larger than New York City is destroyed every year, removing an important buffer from extreme weather for coastal communities and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
NEARLY 1 MILLION HECTARES LOST

EDUCATE
SOLUTIONS
The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.
