On May 3rd we'll celebrate the 31st World Press Freedom Day. This year's conference will be hosted by Chile and UNESCO with the theme "A Press for the Planet: Journalism in the Face of the Environmental Crisis" and also marks 30 years since the adoption of the historic Santiago Declaration, a testament to the ongoing commitment to promoting freedom of expression globally. It's no news that we stand at a crossroads of a future threatened by the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and air pollution. The nexus between these crises and public health, democracy, and the proliferation of misinformation shows more than ever the critical role of the press in shaping public discourse. Journalists and scientists are indispensable agents in communicating complex environmental issues, separating fact from fiction, and advocating for informed decision-making. Without investigative journalism, many environmental crimes, cases of corruption, and the voices of marginalised communities would be silenced. More than ever the fight for accurate information is obstructed by challenges, including disinformation campaigns, threats to journalistic freedom, and the suppression of dissenting voices. Disinformation surrounding climate change undermines public support for mitigation efforts, exacerbates inequalities, and erodes trust in scientific consensus. To address these challenges effectively, a comprehensive strategy is imperative. This strategy entails safeguarding journalistic freedom, promoting media diversity, enhancing digital literacy, and empowering marginalised voices, particularly those of women and indigenous communities. The upcoming conference will be a platform for collective action and a global call to action to reaffirm commitments to journalistic integrity and advocate for the protection of environmental journalists.

UNESCO Green Citizen Martha Ruiz , is a prominent figure in her local community, she is known for generous spirit and commitment to protecting the Sierra Biosphere Reserve. After spending 16 years as a music teacher in Queretaro City, Martha and her husband moved to Agua del in Sierra, to get away from the culture of overconsumption. It was there that they discovered a treasure: The Sierra Biosphere. On the UNESCO Green Citizens podcast, Martha's story unfolds, as she describes this priceless natural treasure: https://www.unesco.org/en/articles/journey-biodiversity-discover-patis-story-unesco-green-citizens-podcast

Kenya National Commission for Unesco organized a national youth workshop on culture and heritage at Machakos university hotel a workshop that brought together youths from all the 47 counties in Kenya, to learn, share their Idea, and find possible solutions to world problems, The team planted different types of trees including fruit trees at Machakos people's park, for environmental conservation, food security and health gain, this was the best way to connect youth with Nature. And using nature based solution to combat climate crisis ,thanks alot to Bwana Julius Mwahunga for organizing the amazing workshop.

Sensitization of masses on climate action and that we are all part of the solution is extremely necessary.

Forests are some of the most biodiversity-rich habitats on Earth. They play a crucial role in climate regulation by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) and are considered as one of the most cost-effective forms of climate action. They are also vitally important for human well-being and survival. It is estimated that around 1.6 billion people - including more than 2,000 indigenous cultures - depend on forests for their livelihoods, medicine, fuel, food and shelter. As of today, more than 200 World Heritage sites harbor unique forest ecosystems. Ranging in size from 18 hectares (Vallée de Mai, Seychelles), to more than 5 million hectares (Central Amazon Conservation Complex, Brazil), World Heritage forest sites now have a total surface area of over 69 million hectares (roughly twice the size of Germany).

PEATLANDS IN SPOTLIGHT AT COP26 Delegates at the recent UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties COP26 in Glasgow would have found it hard to ignore Scotland’s stunning scenery: dense woodlands, dark lochs and sweeping mountain ranges. But it was the peatlands that perhaps captured their attention the most, not only for their iconic beauty but for the role they can play in combatting climate change. While peatlands take up only around 3 per cent of global land area, they store over 33 per cent of the world’s soil carbon, more than the carbon stored in all other vegetation combined. Peatlands, which are found in almost every country, are wetlands also known as bogs, fens, bofedales and swamp forests. They are home to a diverse amount of wildlife, flora and fauna and provide natural flood mitigation and water storage and filtration. When peatlands are degraded they become a contributor to emissions. Protecting and restoring peatlands can reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 800 million metric tonnes per year – equivalent to Germany’s annual emissions – according to the new report Economics of Peatlands Conservation, Restoration, and Sustainable Management”, released at COP26 by UNEP and the Global Peatlands Initiative (GPI).

UNESCO has declared Mura-Drava-Danube (MDD) a new biosphere reserve that spans five countries (Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary and Serbia) and covers an area of almost 10,000 square kilometers. - Five countries have agreed to jointly protect one of the most unique river corridors in Europe. These healthy freshwater habitats play an important role in coping with climate change - the greatest challenge facing humanity ever, says Katalin Sipos, Secretary General of WWF Hungary.

Since the entire planet is under threat, I think it deserves a special status as world heritage by UNESCO. The obligation we all have to take care of our own surroundings needs to be explicitly expressed and enforced.

I agree with your deep thought idea @Mario_de_Vries
According to research made by Australian National University, it’s fair to say that bush fires disproportionately impact indigenous communities in Australia. New South Wales, where the fires are concentrated, has the highest number of indigenous people in the country. Francis Markham, a research fellow at the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research at the Australian National University: “The places where we know a lot of aboriginal people live… have been heavily impacted by the fires. These impacts are both on people in terms of the kind of direct impacts of fires: property loss and even loss of life. But they’re also about impacts on country and impacts to sacred sites and to heritage sites, and that’s sometimes missed in this coverage.” So, we see first (or not?) cases when climate change affects not only nature but the cultural heritage of mankind. It is UNESCO's domain, so they should intrude on this immediately. News link: https://earther.gizmodo.com/bushfires-are-obliterating-the-cultural-memory-of-austr-1840933953

Disinformation about climate change is a serious threat. We need strong, independent journalism to separate fact from fiction and empower people to make informed decisions science communication.
