NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Al politik, som vedrører dansk infrastruktur, må have som formål at nedbringe vores udledninger. Man kan ikke kæmpe for grøn omstilling med den ene hånd, mens man hæver billetprisen på et grønt transportmiddel med den anden. Leder:

The @ipcc.bsky.social #AR7 scoping meeting successfully took place in Kuala Lumpur last week, with more than 230 experts from 70 countries drafting the outlines of the three Working Group contributions to #IPCC's seventh report assessing policy-relevant science on #climatechange.

Det er glædeligt, at en række fjernvarmeselskaber nu begynder at sige fra over for brugen af biomasse, der langtfra er grøn og bæredygtig, skriver Marie Sæhl i denne leder. Læs eller genlæs den her.

The Danish Energy Agency has not received any offers for three offshore wind farms, Energy Minister Lars Aagaard said after the deadline for offers closed on Thursday.

In low-lying Copenhagen where rising sea levels, groundwater and rainfall pose a risk to infrastructure, the Danish capital is trying to adapt and protect urban areas from climate change.

Today over 1/3 of 🌍 land surface are used for agriculture.   Food systems are a key contributor to nature loss and land degradation.   But we all need to eat and why we desperately need sustainable, resilient and inclusive agri-food systems.   Today at #COP16Riyadh I joined partners to discuss how.

The Europe of tomorrow must be competitive and climate neutral. That tomorrow is starting today. We are giving a boost to our clean tech industry. With two calls for proposals worth €4.6 billion for new tech, including EV batteries, and renewable hydrogen. Read more → europa.eu/!hDqtBf

🌍 A robust UN plastics treaty could be a game-changer for the climate. 📉 Five powerful charts reveal how cutting plastic production can slash global emissions. Dive in 👇

The European Union has a clear message for oil and plastic-producing states: We're going to fight to the end to get the plastic treaty we want.

As we near the halfway point of #INC5 talks, strong support for a #PlasticsTreaty is clear. At this evening's press conference I told media that I understand frustrations at the slow pace. We need all members and participants to focus on striking a deal. Now is the time to move and make it happen.

“Some plastics can take up to one thousand years to decompose. Even then, they break down into ever smaller particles that persist, pervade and pollute.” At #INC5 opening, @ingerandersen.bsky.social called for urgent action to deliver a #PlasticsTreaty to end pollution: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Klimatopmødet er slut. Søvn er tørret væk fra øjnene. Aftalen er vigtig, men langt fra god nok. Nu arbejder vi videre. Brug for klimahandling. Husk at rose de dygtige embedsfolk, der har knoklet solen sort for en grønnere og mere retfærdig verden. De har været eminente. 🍀🌍 #cop29 #dkgreen

China was willing to offer more in climate finance, says Cop29 president

#AOLetsGO: Next week, the International Court of Justice will hold historic climate hearings. These legal proceedings have the potential to advance ambitious climate action after decades of political inertia that have plagued climate negotiations & climate policies 👇 www.ciel.org/historic-hea...

I'm in Busan at the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations at #INC5. But the #petrochem industry is too. We need to ensure that decisions are evidence-based and grounded in robust science, not greenwashing. #ConflictsOfInterest are a real problem. Read more here: www.chemistryworld.com/news/after-y...

Så er der #COP29 aftale. Flere penge til at hjælpe udviklingslande med klimaindsats og tilpasning, og de velstående udviklingslande kommer også til at bidrage. Men resultatet tager ikke fat på udledningerne. Stærkt utilfredsstillende. Brug for klimahandling www.kefm.dk/aktuelt/nyhe... #dkgreen

Lyspunkt på et kaotisk tidspunkt. Art. 6 om klimakreditter vedtaget. Gennemsigtige og robuste rammer, der kan styrke sikkerhed for reelle CO2-reduktioner og øge klimafinansiering. Tak til min hollandske forhandler-kollega Sophie Hermans for godt partnerskab #COP29 www.berlingske.dk/politik/verd...

Pope joins calls for ‘climate justice’ at COP29. www.thetablet.co.uk/news/pope-jo...

The world is on track to blow past the target of halting warming at 1.5C. Is it game over? Are we hurtling over tipping points? What is the physical science basis for this target? What does it mean to be headed beyond 1.5C? On SHIFT KEY, we talk with NASA climate scientist Kate Marvel to find out 🔌💡

COP29 is wrapping up this week and people are (finally) calling for the process to be overhauled to *maybe* reduce oil industry influence over it. New documents we uncovered reveal they used a little known UN org to infiltrate from jump. First of three stories: drilled.media/news/IPIECA1

Few people know this: half of the world's energy use is for heat used in buildings and industry. And almost all of it is from burning fossil fuels. That's why we need to decarbonise heat if we want to stand a chance of meeting our climate targets.

The fossil fuel giants behind an "end plastic waste" scheme produced 1,000 times more plastic waste than their scheme removed, a report from Unearthed shows. The fossil fuel industry is on course to treble the amount of plastics being produced.

How great is this graphic. Such a good illustration of what an obscenely tiny proportion gets cleaned --->>> (Go follow the Unearthed team, they're doing lots of very important stuff)

🚨 BREAKING: The European Parliament has agreed to approve all seven pending European commissioner nominees.

Ship suspected of damaging comms cables x 2 in Baltic Sea has been detained by Danish Navy. Yi Peng 3 is anchored just outside DK territory with patrol/dive Y311 SØLØVEN vessel guarding her. Frigate HDMS HVIDBJØRNEN might be present too (no AIS but made speed towards situation.)

@dr.dk.web.brid.gy hvorfor har i intet indslag om Y311 HDMS Søløven?

The Chinese vessel Yi Peng 3 has been chased, intercepted, and boarded by Danish Navy vessel Y311 Søløven after the Chinese vessel destroyed 2 undersea telecom cables linking Finland-Germany and Sweden-Lithuania. According to reports, the vessel sailed from Russia & the captain is Russian. 🇨🇳🇷🇺🇩🇰

Zur Klimakonferenz #COP29 in #Baku: Der Climate Action Tracker prognostiziert bis 2100 eine Erderwärmung von 2,7 °C unter den gegenwärtigen Maßnahmen — die humanitären, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Kosten werden enorm sein. climateactiontracker.org/press/releas...

🚨 2024 is on track to be the hottest year on record. We are already seeing the impacts of climate change across Europe and the world. At #COP29, we are pushing to speed up and substantially increase climate ambition. #EUatCOP29

„Unser Planet wird diese Krise überdauern, aber die Zukunft der Menschheit steht auf dem Spiel“ sagt @lgewessler.bsky.social gerade auf der #COP29 in Baku. Das haben viel zu viel hier auf der Konferenz leider noch immer nicht verstanden.

Fakt ist: Das Klima nicht zu schützen ist um ein Vielfaches teurer als konsequenter #Klimaschutz. Dass sich der Umbau hin zur Klimaneutralität lohnt, weiß mittlerweile auch die Wirtschaft. Jeder jetzt in Klimaschutz investierte Euro zahlt sich künftig vielfach aus. Darum geht's auf der #COP29
