In our latest Climate Conversation, host Clover Hogan is joined by leading oceanographer Tessa Hill, Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California, to explore what can be done to pull this emergency brake for climate heating.

10 years ago today, the Paris Agreement gave the world a clear, science-based goal: limit warming to 1.5°C. Today, that benchmark still stands but progress does not. We have entered overshoot, and are losing precious time debating costs instead of delivering the solutions to pull humanity back.

On Tuesday evening, we hosted an event with The Conduit: After COP30 - What Are The Levers For Climate Action? Our thanks go to the panel Lorraine Whitmarsh, Wolfgang Blau, Joyce Mendez, Nick Stern, as well as to Graihagh Jackson for chairing the panel and The Conduit for hosting us.

The Atlantic current that stabilises our climate is weakening, with consequences that could last for centuries. A collapse of the AMOC could mean worse winters, harsher droughts, and major global disruption. The science is clear: risks are real, but action now can still change the outcome.

A Global Health Network led study warns of a “creeping catastrophe” as climate change fuels a surge in infectious diseases–malaria, dengue, TB–spreading faster and further than ever. Already devastating communities across the Global South. The climate crisis is a health crisis and delay costs lives.

CCAG Member Professor Tessa Hill recently joined Ed Kiggins for an episode of the ‘Minds Over Matters’ podcast series.

This week, Christophe McGlade joined EIA climate campaigner Jack Corscadden and Senior Press and Communications Officer Paul Newman for an episode of the What on Earth Podcast, in which they discussed the impacts of methane and the actions needed to pull the emergency brake.

During COP30, CCAG members shared their expertise on the most pressing issues facing the planet today, including climate finance, plans for the fossil fuel phase out, and gaps in the final agreement itself

You can do it. Progress cannot rely on negotiated text alone. Meaningful climate action depends on our collective courage – across governments, industry, civil society, and communities. The resources and knowledge exist. What happens next is up to us. Read our key takeaways from COP30 below

As the dust settles on COP30, the final agreement presents a mix of gridlock and glimmers of hope. Sir David King reflects on a formal process that has stalled, contrasted with a powerful new signal that could finally drive meaningful climate action.

“A credible pathway to phase out fossil fuels must be at the heart of any outcome here.” With negotiations at COP30 reaching their crucial closing stages, there is a glaring gap in the current draft agreement: a roadmap away from fossil fuels. Sir David King reacts:

CCAG co-hosted a high-level roundtable on the future of national climate plans with E3G and Groundswell – exploring how countries can close the ambition gap and accelerate real progress toward the 1.5°C goal.

Ministers at COP30 have united to launch FIRST, a major South–South effort to cut methane and nitrous oxide from agriculture. Brazil & the UK also unveiled the Belém Declaration on Fertilisers to advance sustainable production and nutrient management.

We enjoyed reading Carlos Nobre’s profile interview with The Financial Times on the Amazon rainforest’s rapidly approaching tipping point - the critical threshold beyond which the Amazon enters an irreversible collapse.

The UN’s latest Global Methane Status Report shows some encouraging signs of action, but the gap between effort and necessity remains vast. Governments must act now and implement cuts in national plans. Read more about this vital emergency brake in our latest report: www.ccag.earth/news/pulling...

This week at COP30, CCAG members Fatima Denton and Arunabha Ghosh took part in a roundtable on critical minerals. Critical minerals will play an essential part in the climate transition, enabling technology needed to speed up decarbonisation - making discussions such as this ever more important.

Yesterday at COP30, CCAG member Fatima Denton joined Marcelo Mena for a powerful discussion on why fair and fast methane action matters, hosted by Global Methane Hub.

Only a third of countries submitted NDCs before COP30. That gap puts the Paris goals further out of reach, but also underlines why NDCs must do more than cut emissions. Read our report to see how they can be rewired as levers for prosperity, health and resilience. www.ccag.earth/reports/ndcs...

COP30 opens at a pivotal moment. Global temperatures have now breached 1.5°C – the limit the Paris Agreement set out to avoid. This marks the start of the overshoot era: dangerous, but temporary if we act decisively.

Climate science should be public. CCAG’s climate conversations and public meetings are open to all – exploring the latest evidence, live. Watch our latest discussions, including this week’s meeting on planetary tipping points with Mitzi Jonelle Tan → www.youtube.com/@climatecris...

A storm like Hurricane Melissa would’ve hit Jamaica once every 8,000 years in a cooler world. Today, with 1.3°C warming, it’s four times more likely.

Oxfam finds the richest 0.1% of Americans emit 4,000× more carbon than the poorest 10%, with most investments in high-emission industries.

As the EU strengthens its 2040 climate goals, the US is rolling back – just when unity matters most. Stepping away from ambition doesn’t protect economies; it holds them back.

Nearly 90% of methane leaks detected from space are still being ignored. Methane lasts only a short time in the atmosphere – but while it’s there, it traps 80× more heat than CO₂. Cutting it is the fastest way to slow warming now. Read our latest report: www.ccag.earth/reports/meth...

The world’s oceans are losing their colour, and their ability to absorb carbon. Global heating is weakening one of our most vital climate buffers. Governments must act now. Read CCAG’s latest report on how strong NDCs can drive real climate action: www.ccag.earth/reports/ndcs...

The energy sector drives ~40% of human-made methane -- most of it preventable. Banning venting & flaring, fixing leaks, and enforcing transparent monitoring could halve emissions this decade. It’s fast, affordable climate action that also cleans our air and strengthens energy security.

In his latest blog, Sir David King warns: cutting CO₂ alone won’t be enough. Methane drives over a third of global warming. Acting on it today could slow heating within decades. The technology is here. What’s needed is focus, fairness and political courage. www.ccag.earth/news/methane...

Methane cuts aren’t just another climate target – they’re our fastest route to cooling. New Zealand’s decision to roll back its agricultural methane targets is a step backwards. Agriculture is the country’s largest source of methane, and proven solutions already exist.

According to a new report from @GlobalTippingPoints, rising heat is driving coral reefs into decline. Without urgent emission cuts, other ecosystems could follow. But by taking action against climate change, we can spark positive tipping points to create a manageable future for people and planet.

Waste produces nearly 20% of human-driven methane – but it’s one of the easiest to fix. By cutting food waste, madating universal collection, and monitoring landfill gas, we can slash emissions fast while making cities cleaner and healthier. More in our latest report - www.ccag.earth/reports/meth...

Agriculture drives nearly 40% of human-made methane. Our new report shows how smarter feed, better manure management, and low-emission rice practices can cut emissions fast - protecting food security and cooling the planet within years. Read more: www.ccag.earth/reports/meth...

The window to restore a safe, healthy planet is still open — but it’s narrowing fast. CCAG member Johan Rockström joined We Don’t Have Time at New York Climate Week to share a crucial message: we can still bring our planet back to safety - but only if we act this decade.

Global investors representing €4.5 trillion are urging the EU to stand firm on methane rules – proof that strong climate policy builds long-term stability and trust. Cutting methane is the fastest, most effective way to slow global heating.

The EAT-Lancet commission report - how to deliver healthy, just, sustainable food systems for a rapidly changing world.

At New York Climate Week, CCAG’s Fatima Denton joined We Don’t Have Time to highlight how methane cuts can fast-track progress in the Global South. As cities grow at record speed, the need for clean air, affordable cooling and better public health is urgent.

Africa is on the frontline of climate risk and methane is a critical part of the story. Cutting emissions is the fastest way to slow warming and protect food systems already under strain. New CCAG report → www.ccag.earth/reports/meth...

NEW: national climate commitments explained. In our latest video, Clover Hogan, conservationist Russell Reed, and CCAG’s Sir David King break down what countries must do to deliver real climate action. youtu.be/YNW85vj_yfc

CCAG member Tessa Hill spoke with We Don’t Have Time about CCAG’s report on methane at New York Climate Week. By cutting methane emissions, we can deliver affordable, available and urgent cooling within years – buying time to accelerate the transition to a safer future.

South Africa’s coal mines & agriculture are major but overlooked methane sources. Reducing methane is the fastest way to slow warming this decade -- this is vital to South Africa's fair contribution to climate goals. www.ccag.earth/reports/meth...

Agriculture drives over 70% of Brazil’s methane emissions, meaning that action here is both urgent but full of opportunities for change. That's because cutting methane is the fastest, most affordable way to slow warming this decade. Our new report → www.ccag.earth/reports/meth...

The presence of world leaders at COP30 sets the tone for ambition, strengthens trust between nations, and can inspire bolder commitments. Sir Dave King told The Guardian why attendance is crucial in the fight against the climate crisis: tinyurl.com/nsmkk8vy
