London is pushing 35°C this week. And it's still May. Heat kills quietly — in top-floor flats, care homes, and the homes of people living alone. In 2022, an estimated 387 Londoners died in the heat. Our cities were built for a climate that no longer exists #Climate #Health #NHS #Cities

The EU's own Methane Regulation will reduce 48%of coal mine methane emissions. The EU says 58% is needed. Ember + Clean Exit Campaign are tracking this. So should the #EU Here is the links - bit.ly/4nPOgQb - Clean Exit bit.ly/4dEMXis #CleanExit #Methane #ClimateAction #WeatheringTomorrow

India's data centers run on coal, not solar. Coal grew 32 GW, underground mining to quadruple by 2030. Methane abatement gets zero budget while CO₂ capture gets ₹20,000 crore. CH₄ is 82x worse than CO₂. VAM costs $7-20/tonne.Fix the mines powering the cloud. bit.ly/4qik9QS #Coal #Methane #Datacenter

Coal methane: the regulatory orphan. While the US EPA delayed oil & gas rules 18 months, coal mine methane has no federal climate regulation at all. This is an institutional absence, not a delay. More: lnkd.in/eW_Z6fYZ #MethaneRegulation #CoalMethane #ClimatePolicy #MitigateVAM

Why is access to finance still so difficult for many cities? The answer may lie not only in new tools, but in rethinking how public finance systems are designed, an approach reflected in the Nordic model. Read the story by @kajembren.bsky.social 👉 talkofthecities.iclei.org/what-the-nor...
