🚨 Next week the EU votes on banning words like burger, sausage & chicken from plant-based foods. This is nothing short of government engaging in cartel behaviour with the meat industry right as we need to transition away from animal agriculture to fix the climate crisis. Act now!

I really enjoy the wide-ranging (and often provocative) conversations Mark Lynas has on his @weplanetint.bsky.social podcast. So I was very happy to join him again to talk more about climate change and what we do to fix it. www.weplanet.org/podcast/epis...

Saving the World from Bad Ideas, is back for season 2. @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by data scientists @hannahritchie.bsky.social. Together they bust pervasive climate myths by drawing from her new book Clearing the Air: The hopeful guide to solving climate change in 50 questions.

Global standardisation & deployment are how we have successfully brought down the cost & rollout time of other clean energy. We encourage government, industry & civil society groups to increase cooperation for the deployment of nuclear energy to address the climate crisis.

The highest court in the EU just reaffirmed that nuclear energy meets the scientific and environmental standards to be included in the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy.

Is it too late to stop climate change, or do we still have reasons for hope? To launch Season Two, @marklynas.bsky.social talks with @hannahritchie.bsky.social, Deputy Editor of Our World in Data and author of Clearing the Air: The hopeful guide to solving climate change in 50 questions.

Today marks 80 years since a nuclear weapon was first used against people, on the city of Hiroshima, unleashing unimaginable devastation. Nuclear weapons remain the greatest threat to humanity & the environment. Today's arsenals could spark global climate collapse. Watch to find out more.

That's a wrap! Season finale available now. Thank-you to everyone who has listened and engaged with us throughout season 1. Listen back over all 20 episodes now: www.weplanet.org/podcast Season 2 will be coming in September.

This week we are wrapping up season one of our 'Saving the World from Bad Ideas' podcast. @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by producer @robdeschutter.bsky.social to explore the concept of bad ideas: are we only challenging others' bad ideas, or also our own? This seasons episodes🧵

Can Greens support nuclear power? ⚛️💚 Finnish environmentalist and WePlaneteer Tea Törmänen joins @marklynas.bsky.social to dismantle Bad Idea #19: “greens are anti-science.” Tea shares her journey of helping make the Finnish Green Party officially pro-nuclear.

Are we addicted to fossil fuels and can we just go cold turkey? In our upcoming episode, philosopher of science @maartenboudry.bsky.social joins @marklynas.bsky.social to tackle Bad Idea #18:: “we’re addicted to fossil fuels”.

Here's @andrealeong.bsky.social report back on tasting the future of food. Cultivated meat allows us to enjoy the foods we love without needing to slaughter animals - reducing animal suffering, environmental impacts, and threats to public health such as animal borne diseases like bird flu.

Bad Idea #17: “Rewilding VS the people.” Is rewilding just about wolves & bears vs farmers & rural communities, or something much more hopeful and human? @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by Rebecca Wrigley, Chief Executive of @rewildingbritain.org.uk Watch or listen now: www.weplanet.org/podcast

Exciting episode of Saving the World from Bad Ideas releasing tomorrow, all about Rewilding. Is rewilding just about wolves & wilderness vs farmers &rural communities, or something much more hopeful @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by Rebecca Wrigley, Chief Executive of @rewildingbritain.org.uk.

While the Global North expands fossil fuels for its citizens, it pressures development banks to block financing for LPG, a fossil fuel that could provide clean cooking for millions of the world's poorest people who lack electricity. This is an injustice! youtu.be/mq87IM2pib0

I love that @marklynas.bsky.social named his pod Saving the World From Bad Ideas. We took a stab at it; you might not like what we had to say but hear us out!

Is industrial agriculture the villain it's made out to be? @marklynas.bsky.social sits down with award-winning journalist and author @mikegrunwald.bsky.social Grunwald to explore Bad Idea #16: "We need to ditch intensive agriculture." Watch or listen now: www.weplanet.org/podcast

700,000 people die annually across sub-Saharan Africa due to indoor air pollution. With clean electricity decades away, LPG is an interim solution available now, reducing indoor air pollution and deforestation – a win-win for people and the environment. Act now: act.weplanet.org/just-stop-co...

Why is the National Party attacking Aussie innovation and people's right to choose what they eat? David Littleproud MP is targeting cultivated meat – a safe, science-backed way to produce real meat without harming animals or the planet. It’s a step forward, not a threat.

We wish this was a joke, but it's deadly serious! 700,000 people die annually across sub-Saharan Africa due to indoor air pollution. Watch this satirical short film critiquing the injustice of what we're calling "carbon colonialism"

“Cooking is not optional, it is survival. Our people deserve to cook, not in smoke and sorrow, but in safety and dignity," Says @weplanetafrica.org's Patricia Nanteza in Kampala at the launch of #JustStopCooking campaign. @weplanetint #AfricaMustCook

‼️The other environmental NGOs don't want you to see this video‼️ A great injustice is being conducted against the world's poorest people. Find out more: www.juststopcooking.org 🧵

Government's have too often conflated the need for 100% clean energy with 100% renewables targets - leading to worse outcomes for the climate, such as burning biomass or closing down nuclear plants. We're now winning the argument - the goal must be 100% clean energy, including nuclear.

Hurricanes. Floods. Fires. Tornadoes. Are extreme weather disasters getting worse because of climate change? Not according to Roger Pielke Jr, who has got himself cancelled by climate activists despite sticking to the IPCC line on extreme weather. Latest podcast: www.weplanet.org/podcast/epis...

Countries in the Global North, such as the US, UK and Germany, are driving a massive injustice against people in the Global South. We're here to push back. Stay tuned for the launch of our latest campaign!

More good news! 🎉 The World Bank has lifted their ban on funding nuclear energy after multiple decades. This is only possible due to public sentiment moving in favour of nuclear energy across key countries, including famously anti-nuclear Germany.

A quiet battle is unfolding in Brussels. It could decide who controls the future of food—and whether Europe leads the world in climate-smart farming, or falls further behind. It’s time to talk about the EU’s New Genomic Techniques regulation. 🧬🌾 Our position: www.weplanet.org/post/growing... A🧵

This week WePlanet Bangladesh led a demonstration alongside other NGO's to demand access to clean air across Bangladesh. The capital Dhaka consistently has some of the worst air pollution in the world, severely impacting the health of the people who live there.

ICYMI, last month the first slaughter-free meat, also known as cultivated meat, was approved for commercial sale in Australia. We welcome FSANZ’s evidence-based approach to this approval and hope it will be the first of many cultivated meat products making their way to plates across Australia.

As the world hurtles towards 3 degrees of warming, should we be seriously considering solar geoengineering? And if we don’t, is there a risk that governments or corporations will act independently, without proper consideration of the consequences? youtu.be/9WeTgNTjxPg

Germany's opposition to nuclear energy has been a major barrier to EU efforts to phase-out fossil fuels. The new German government's openness to nuclear energy will help accelerate the clean energy transition across the EU & globally.

I'm part of the climate anxiety generation, but I found hope in science. Championing science has resulted in me being attacked by the left for defending the science on nuclear energy, & the right for defending climate science. Science, not dogma, will lead to a better future.

Belgium has lifted its nuclear ban after more than twenty years! This marks a major victory for clean energy supporters. For years, WePlanet and our allies have taken to the streets and met with policymakers to champion the role of nuclear energy in a diverse and sustainable energy future.
