Solar power in the UK surged in 2024 generating enough electricity "to power 5.2 million homes for a year, or the London Underground for more than a decade." www.ft.com/content/9e49... #solar #uk #renewables

This graphic from @climatecentral.org sums things up nicely. If you love air pollution (and water pollution), you gotta like fossil fuels too, right? @gchalliance.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social @who.int @global.noharm.org @momscleanairforce.org @atscommunity.bsky.social

20 million waste pickers across the world collect 60% of all our plastic waste. They keep communities clean, protect nature & provide jobs. They are the unsung heroes working to #BeatPlasticPollution At #INC5.2 talks, a true pleasure to see friends from the International Alliance of Waste Pickers

What set the stage for the #PlasticsTreaty? In 2022, UN Member States adopted #UNEA Resolution 5/14, launching negotiations for an international legally binding agreement on plastic pollution, addressing the life cycle of plastic, including its design, reuse and disposal. bit.ly/44XWcFT #INC5

The International Court of Justice’s opinion on the obligations of States in respect of climate change is a watershed moment in the evolution of climate law. @unep.org will support countries deliver ambitious, science-aligned climate action #ForPeopleForPlanet: www.linkedin.com/posts/anders...

24 July is #EarthOvershootDay. That means humanity has used up Earth’s yearly natural resources budget in just 7 months. In 2024, the date was 1 August. The date keeps creeping earlier—but the trend can be reversed: www.genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/resources/up...

The UN International Court of Justice rules that countries could be in violation of international law if they fail to take measures to protect the planet from climate change, and nations harmed by its effects could be entitled to reparations www.cbc.ca/news/science...

We have conducted our annual review of .eco's key suppliers. To give transparency into our supply chain, we publish our assessment criteria and the responses from our suppliers: go.eco/policies/sup... #transparency #supplychain
