- Hydropower dam threat: A new WWF-led study found that 260,000km of free-flowing rivers would be lost if the planned hydropower dams were built. The proposed dams would collectively generate less than 2% of the renewable energy needed by 2050 to keep global temperature rise below 1.5⁰ C.
- Need for nature positive: A new WWF report supports our calls for action to restore nature, revealing that 39 million new jobs could be created if governments reallocated just one year’s worth of subsidies that currently harm biodiversity to a nature-positive stimulus instead.
