🌽🚫 Biofuels: not as green as they seem. 30–40% of US corn goes to ethanol, which requires a land area equivalent to Mississippi. But this only generates 6% of our transportation fuel. Meanwhile, land, water & food systems are strained. It’s time to rethink this math: go.wri.org/biofuel-midwest-bl

Forests are one of the world’s best lines of defense against climate change as they remove and store CO2 from the atmosphere. Their loss has long-term consequences on countries’ ability to meet climate commitments. More on the impact of 🔥 on forests in 2024 ➡️ gfw.global/tcl24 #TreeCoverLoss

📊 Adaptation projects deliver 27% avg returns—but that’s likely an underestimate. Only 8% of projects measured: 1️⃣ Avoided losses 2️⃣ Economic benefits 3️⃣ Social & environmental benefits Learn how to unlock adaptation’s full value🔗 go.wri.org/adapt-invest-bs #InvestInAdaptation

New WRI research finds over 50% of monetized benefits from adaptation investments can occur even without climate shocks. In other words, adaptation is far more than a safety net— it’s a launchpad for growth. Find out more: go.wri.org/climate-adaptation-bsky
