A groundbreaking global deal just landed to cut emissions from shipping This makes shipping the first global sector with a regulated pathway to net zero, but key aspects of the agreement fall short of what is needed to drive rapid action in the near term #IMO #MEPC83 #ClimateAction

WWF International's media team has just landed on BlueSky! 🍃🐼🐦 Follow us for the latest news and updates from WWF's global network Expect breaking news, expert voices, powerful stories, and the latest on the race to sustain our #LivingPlanet

So far just 12 countries have submitted their updated national climate plans These emission reduction targets, and the strategies to meet them, will determine if we can prevent the worst impacts of the #climatecrisis Getting this right is pivotal #NDCs www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-95-...

Happy NDC deadline day, friends "“Every fraction of a degree matters, and we expect governments to use the remaining time to submit ambitious 2035 NDCs and update their 2030 targets" - @niklashoehne.bsky.social @catclimate.bsky.social climateactiontracker.org/press/releas...

2024 marked five years since the start of the European Green Deal, the EU’s landmark energy and climate policy package 🇪🇺 Here’s what’s happened in the power sector since then: 🧵1/6

Chile's wind and solar generation surpassed 40% of power for the first time in December last year 📈⚡ Throughout 2024, wind and solar generated a RECORD THIRD of Chile's electricity—more than double that in 2019. 🔗 Read more: ember-energy.org/lat...

“They were up for change. They didn’t mind challenge. They wanted fairness. But they also really didn’t understand what the change meant for them, for their communities." @elpinchbeck.bsky.social on what the British public think about the transition to net zero

Today #WEF published its Global Risks Report 2025, which identifies the top four most severe risks over the next ten years to be extreme weather events, biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse, critical change to Earth systems and natural resources shortages www.weforum.org/press/2025/0...

LA has burned in the most destructive fires in US history and fossil fuel profiteers are the arsonists holding the gas can. Our cities are at the mercy of the climate oil, gas and coal has built 🧵

Important to highlight to progress being made in some countries Portugal will likely source more than 90% of its power from domestic renewables by 2030, a milestone that’ll be shared by the likes of Denmark and Chile 👏👏 via Progress Playbook theprogressplaybook.com/2025/01/06/p...

“The [green] transition will be stopped by European voters” unless it has an element of solidarity and is organised like the tax system, with the rich paying more, says @franstimmermans.groenlinkspvda.nl #climatecrisis www.ft.com/content/f991...

This is so wrong - banks aren't passive players in the economy, they have the potential to drastically shift financial flows. They need to use their power to help drive the phase out of fossil fuels and move us to 100% renewable energy Quote via Bloomberg Green ESG Investing

Want people to care about climate change? Our (@uscprice.bsky.social) new study found people are more likely to worry about climate change if they know someone who has been harmed by severe weather, even if they were not. Climate comms advice: tell stories. make it personal. bit.ly/4g9Nd9g

Great ad on the London Underground from #AlJazeera. This is a crisis. Reporting the impacts of rising temperatures around the world is crucial for galvanising support for action

@carbonbrief.org On the legal issues at stake and the wider significance of the International Court of Justice advisory opinion regarding the obligations of states in respect of climate change Proceedings : www.icj-cij.org/case/187/req... Explanation : www.carbonbrief.org/interview-pr...

🚨How to get support for ambitious climate policy: some incredibly valuable work that shows you CAN achieve public buy-in for change if you engage with people positively and proactively.

Interest in news has fallen dramatically in some of the countries covered by our research. This is one of the trends identified by @richardfletcher.bsky.social in this piece on how AI can help journalists address 3 challenges Read the article now reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/how-ai-...

#ICJ ⚖️| Good to see some countries emphasising the relevance of the human right to a healthy environment to climate change This ICJ advisory opinion is an important moment to bring international human rights and environmental law together www.wy4cj.org/icjao-oral-h...

The International Court of Justice #ICJ is currently hearing submissions from countries on states' obligations to tackle climate change I recommend following the latest developments with this excellent daily newsletter from World's Youth for Climate Justice www.wy4cj.org/icjao-hearings

Great piece from @andrewdessler.com: if emissions stop, warming should also stop Misconceptions of 'locked-in warming' stem from what would happen if atmospheric concentrations were held steady (dashed line) But zero emissions (solid line) stops warming www.theclimatebrink.com/p/climate-ch...

My first post on Blue Sky - some thoughts following #COP29 This outcome is a setback. As the climate agenda advances in some areas, opponents and obstacles are growing in others. We must not lose hope or throw out the UN process This is the time to unite around the solutions we need

At #COP29 and trying @bsky.app - my first post... #InHotWater is a new short film for WWF Marine heatwaves push ecosystems to the edge From coral bleaching to devastating storms, people & nature are in peril It’s time to stop burning fossil fuels #ActForOurPlanet www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozG0...
