Today, we will join a #COP30 press conference to highlight a growing challenge: how the rapid expansion of #AI is threatening global climate progress and environmental justice. 📅 Time: 10:30–11:00 a.m. Belém time (UTC-3) 🔴 Livestream: unfccc.int/event/center... 🔍 Learn more: shorturl.at/j1VzX

Toyota is using #COP30 to promote biofuel cars, but the science is clear: crop-based biofuels are a false solution that threaten forests, food security and the 1.5°C limit. The world needs real zero-emission vehicles, not greenwashed detours.

At #COP30, Greenpeace urges Toyota to end its greenwashing of biofuel vehicles. These misleading claims distract from the urgent need for true electrification in the fight against the climate crisis. Our planet can't afford false solutions! 🌏 Read more: www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/pre...

This weekend, @greenpeaceeastasia.bsky.social was at the @jama_jpn Japan Mobility Show to see the latest in zero-emission mobility. While most automakers showcased their electric vehicles, @Toyota had none on display. Toyota needs to go zero-emission and help drive the change our climate needs.

If other countries and the international society want to encourage China to lead, they should adjust their expectations, says Yao Zhe, our Beijing-based global policy advisor for @reuters.com. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

As the world’s largest automaker, what Toyota does matters. We share the concerns expressed by @greenpeaceeastasia.bsky.social that Toyota’s total emissions have INCREASED over recent years, rather than declining.

Did you know that Toyota’s carbon emissions represented over half of Japan’s total emissions in 2023? That’s 1.5% of the world’s total emissions. Learn more here→ www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/blo...

Hollywood pumps the brakes on Toyota EMA, A prominent Hollywood climate group just dumped Toyota. Seems Toyota couldn’t get away with fooling the public this time! Toyota–we see your true colors. Stop blocking climate progress. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/hollywood-...

Most #Toyota cars still run on fossil fuels — with total emissions comparable to those of Australia, according to @benstephan.bsky.social, Transport and Mobility Team Lead at @greenpeace.de, who recently joined @greenpeaceeastasia.bsky.social to deliver an open letter to #Toyota Deutschland.

This year, Toyota quietly reduced its 2026 EV target from 1.5 million to just 800,000. This setback means more carbon emissions, more environmental harm, and a serious blow to global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. Tell Toyota to do better. action-greenpeace.jp/en/toyota-dr...

Japan’s iconic peak Mount Fuji is warming fast, with fewer freezing days each year. Meanwhile, @Toyota, one of the world’s biggest automakers, creates an equivalent of 1.5% of global energy emissions, with 98.6% of cars still fossil-fueled.

A prominent Hollywood climate group just dumped Toyota as a sponsor. Toyota won’t get away with gross exaggerations about its "green practices." Toyota must stop polluting our air & fighting to roll back the laws that protect our communities!

🚨 NEW REPORT 🌍 Toyota's global scaleback on electric vehicle sales targets could result in millions of tons of avoidable emissions by 2030, straying further from the 1.5°C climate goal🌡️, our analysis exposed. 👉 Press Release: www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/pre... #Toyota #DriveChange #EndICE [1/5]

Toyota funds more climate deniers in Congress than any other car company, and just 1.2% of its U.S. sales were EVs last year. Under pressure from @janefonda.com, Hollywood's leading environmental group is cutting ties with the Japanese automaker: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/hollywood-...

“The effects of global warming are quietly reshaping Japan’s four seasons. Whether we act now to cut greenhouse gas emissions will decide the future of our seasons over the next 30 years.”

“Temperatures in Japan are already rising faster than the global average, and we’re extremely concerned that Mount Fuji’s summit is warming even more quickly,” said Hisayo Takada, Greenpeace Japan. #SnowPeak #ProtectOurWinter #GlobalWarming

Breaking: Scientists have confirmed a long-term warming trend at Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji. 🌡️🏔️ Summit temperature has risen at a rate of 1.47°C per century— a clear warning sign of the climate crisis. #DriveChangeForOurClimate #Japan #MountFuji

Breaking: Scientists confirm a warming trend at #Japan’s iconic Mount #Fuji. Summit temps have risen +1.47°C per century—faster than Japan’s average. Global warming is quietly reshaping our four seasons. The next 30 yrs depend on action now. #DriveChangeForOurClimate #MountFuji

“China is still well-positioned to lift global climate action,” our global policy advisor Yao Zhe told the @washingtonpost.com . “But this target falls short of many people’s expectations.” www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Today a new global coalition of organizations including Solutions for Our Climate, @mightyearth.org, @greenpeaceeastasia.bsky.social, @publiccitizen.bsky.social, @culturalsurvival.org & @steelwatch.bsky.social launched a campaign calling on Hyundai to clean up its dirty, dangerous supply chain.

Check out our new video on @greenpeaceeastasia.bsky.social's recent report on the decarbonization plans of battery manufacturers. www.greenpeace.org/static/plane...

China is still well-positioned to lift global climate action. But, this target falls short of many people's expectations. Ultimately, actions do speak louder than words. But strong and consistent policy signals are an irreplaceable catalyst. www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/pre...

Chinese investors are keen on overseas wind and solar investments, as we've been told when conducting interviews for research on China's overseas energy investment for years now. But serious structural barriers remain. thediplomat.com/2025/09/chin...

China's new target to build 10 GW of wind and 10 GW of solar overseas in the next five years is harder than it sounds. Even as domestic wind and solar boom, overseas investments face systematic hurdles that need to be addressed. #ClimateActionNow dialogue.earth/en/energy/ro...

New research from our Beijing office shows China can peak power sector emissions this year. Gao Yuhe, Greenpeace East Asia’s climate and energy project manager, told @climatechangenews.com that Beijing is in a “critical window” to reshape its power system. www.climatechangenews.com/2025/09/09/c...

NEW #China can peak coal power generation and power sector emissions in 2025: Greenpeace report “But this requires a combination of stronger renewable energy deployment, high-efficiency electrification, and no new coal.” #ClimateActionNow www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/pre...

This week, China said it would cooperate in building 10 GW of solar and 10 GW of wind power capacity overseas in the next five years. In practice, achieving this will require troubleshooting structural barriers that limit Chinese enterprises’ overseas renewable energy investment.

Last year, we went on a trip in the Amazon with Aunt Bear, one of only three independent Chinese journalists to report from the global #biodiversity talks (COP16), to witness local #climate impacts together. Check out our recap and Q&A with her. www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

#China highlighted today that in 2025 H1, its newly added electricity generation from wind and solar exceeded the incremental growth in #electricity consumption. This indicates that China's #renewable energy capacity can fully meet the additional electricity demand. www.nea.gov.cn/20250826/81a...

With China’s rapid expansion of #renewables, it is increasingly likely that by 2025, all new #electricity demand could be met by renewables. Achieving this goal will require the grid to integrate renewables more effectively and enhance its #climate resilience. www.eco-business.com/news/how-to-...

Extreme weather has been spreading across #China in recent years. Last month, extreme #rainfall in Beijing killed 44 people in the deadliest #flood since 2012. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Given the fast expansion of renewables paired with battery #storage, #coal power should shift to a supporting role. But for storage to provide system security, we need institutional reform: flexible dispatch, better price signals, and targeted revenue support. www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-w...

"In China, people have few opportunities to directly participate in conservation." Read our interview on environmental storytelling for a Chinese audience with Chinese podcast star Liu Min, aka "Aunt Bear."

@reuters.com reported that #China’s curtailment rate for #solar power rose to 6.6% in the first half of 2025 from 3.9% in the same period a year earlier, while the rate for wind rose to 5.7% from 3%. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

According to IEA's Electricity Mid-Year Update 2025, China's record-high growth in generation from low-emission sources and a moderate increase in demand led to coal-fired power falling by an estimated 2.6% year on year in H1 2025, reversing trends of the past two years. www.iea.org/news/global-...

"As both sides enter climate disaster season, projecting extreme heat and rainfall, the urgent need for collaboration on climate issues could not be more clear." A rundown by our colleagues in Beijing @greenpeaceeastasia.bsky.social and @greenpeace.eu thediplomat.com/2025/07/wher...

This EU-China agreement is a positive sign, but both sides "need to get practical", our global policy advisor Yao Zhe told @afp.com "Both should demonstrate greater ambition in reducing emissions and transitioning away from fossil fuels.". www.barrons.com/news/china-e...

The EU and China need each other to speed up their own domestic transitions to renewable energy And the world needs them to work together to tackle the global climate crisis

"The EU and China remain climate partners despite tensions elsewhere. That’s some relief," said Greenpeace Beijing global policy advisor Yao Zhe. "The race for clean and green technologies is not a zero-sum competition." www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/pre...

"Isolationism and climate denialism are posing a threat to our shared future and the global partnerships that we have established to protect that future." -Yuan Ying, Greenpeace East Asia China Chief Representative www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/pre...

"The China-EU summit provides an opportunity for the highest-level political exchanges on each side’s respective climate targets," say Yao Zhe @greenpeaceeastasia.bsky.social and Thomas Gelin @greenpeace.eu thediplomat.com/2025/07/wher...

China issued red alerts for floods in June, heatwaves are scorching Europe As both sides enter climate disaster season, projecting extreme heat and rainfall, the need for climate collaboration could not be more clear @tomgelin.bsky.social & @greenpeaceeastasia.bsky.social's Yao Zhe #EUChina

Climate action stands out as a potential bright spot for the top-level China-EU Summit this week, with both sides planning to submit their 2035 climate targets in the coming months. A rundown by our colleagues in Beijing and @greenpeace.eu colleagues: thediplomat.com/2025/07/wher...

BREAKING: Citizens, NGOs Sue to Halt Construction of LNG Plants near Seoul over Flawed Approval Process

Transport emissions in South Korea decreased by only 1.4% between 2018 and 2023. The new administration needs to turn things around and target a full phase out of combustion engine vehicles by 2030, writes GPEA campaigner Erin Choi.

⚡ New research calls into question whether leading EV battery makers are serious about decarbonization. 🚘 Most top EV battery makers have no targets for 100% renewable electricity, cutting supply chain emissions, or both.
