One of the most biodiverse countries on the planet is putting nature first. Brazil hosts 15-20% of the world’s animal and plant species. Its vast territory spans six biomes, from tropical #rainforest to savanna - and it holds 10% of the world’s freshwater. From these foundations, #Brazil can emerge as the world’s first nature superpower, says Ilona Szabó de Carvalho, Co-founder of the @InstitutoIgarape. Unlike climate finance, which has advanced rapidly, #nature finance faces greater challenges.

The world's tallest thunderstorms are often found near the equator, in a belt of low pressure called the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). These flaming storms in the tropical East Pacific are literally punching above their height. Here you can see the intense convection sending moisture into Earth's upper troposphere, more than 10 miles high. The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and is where almost all weather and clouds occur. Its height varies by latitude and season.
