While the UK debates nuclear, we’re missing a major clean energy opportunity: tidal power. Jonathon Porritt highlights new @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social research showing tidal projects can support ecosystems, not harm them. 🌊 Read his blog 👇 jonathonporritt.com/tidal-energy...

Private members’ clubs are going green 🌿 At Brimm’s clubhouse, members aim to cut their carbon footprint by 30% by 2030 through planet-positive brands, eco events and regenerative farm trips As Dr Richard Carmichael notes, visible action can spark “social contagion” - inspiring others to follow

New analysis by @wwattribution.bsky.social & Climate Central reveals the world could face ~2 more months of extreme heat days per year by 2100 Without the #ParisAgreement, it would have been 114 more days. Even amid alarming trends, climate action makes a real difference

Torrential rain has hit Ibiza, turning streets into rivers and flooding the airport 🌧️ Over 180mm fell in 12 hours - the remnants of Hurricane Gabrielle are to blame. “No doubt about it, these explosive downpours were intensified by climate change,” says Professor @frediotto.bsky.social.

SMEs drive the UK economy but also produce 36% of domestic emissions. 🚨 A new report, led by Dr Gbemi Oluleye and Imperial colleagues, for Schneider Electric explores the barriers to decarbonisation and the policies & finance needed to unlock solutions. 🌍⚡ #NetZero #SustainableBusiness

🚨 The UK Conservative Party plans to scrap the Climate Change Act if it returns to power. CEP researcher, Luke Hatton, warns ditching net-zero targets won’t protect consumers from volatile fossil fuel prices. #ClimatePolicy #NetZero

Out in @science.org today. The Ngezi forest of Zanzibar is likely the most intact oldgrowth tropical dry forest in East Africa, if not the continent; it also houses tons of endemic species and gives resources to thousands of people. Bulldozers are waiting at its edge www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🌊 Lake Tanganyika is rising, 3m higher in a decade, drowning homes, schools & livelihoods in Burundi. Over 100,000 have been displaced. Dr Joyce Kimutai warns climate change is a “multiplier of threats” in a region already hit by conflict. #ClimateCrisis #Burundi

Human-made global heating caused 2 in 3 heat deaths in Europe this summer - 16,500 lives lost. “The causal chain from fossil fuel burning to rising heat & increased mortality is undeniable,” says @frediotto.bsky.social #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave #ClimateChange #GlobalHeating #PublicHealth

Massive cross-institutional paper out today, bringing in almost 40 co-authors across 20 institutions and 9 countries 🌍. Led by @tom-pienkowski.bsky.social. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A landmark @nature.com study links fossil fuel & cement giants to worsening heatwaves worldwide. But as @clairbarnes.bsky.social warns: the true impacts are probably much worse - many heatwaves in Africa & South America go unreported. 🌍🔥 #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ClimateScience

The effectiveness of community-based conservation under climate-induced shocks has now been quantified thanks to research by Dr Matthew Clark (@ic-cep.bsky.social) & Dr Adam Sykulski (@imperialmaths.bsky.social) Supported by @TurnerKirkTrust Watch the video⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9Ne...

“Unimaginably expensive” & risky geoengineering schemes at the poles are a dangerous distraction from tackling fossil fuels, warn 42 scientists incl. @joerirogelj.bsky.social. Cutting emissions remains the fastest, safest way to curb the #ClimateCrisis.

@joerirogelj.bsky.social warns the world’s underground CO₂ storage could run out by 2200 🌍💨 Practical capacity may be 10× smaller than thought, just 1,460 Gt instead of 14,000. Rogelj argues that we should use carbon storage sparingly & focus on zero-emission energy. #ClimateAction #NetZero

🚨 Wildfires in Spain & Portugal were made 40x more likely by climate breakdown, says @wwattribution.bsky.social “The sheer size of these fires has been astonishing,” adds CEP’s Clair Barnes (@clairbarnes.bsky.social) 🌍🔥 #ClimateCrisis #Wildfires

🌡️ Scientists from @wwattribution.bsky.social say this summer’s wildfires in Greece, Turkey & Cyprus were 22% more intense & 10x more likely due to climate change. Events that were once 1-in-100-year now happen every 20 years. 🔥 #ClimateCrisis #Wildfires

Honoured to be interviewed for @imperialsci.bsky.social 2025 end-of-year magazine as @ic-cep.bsky.social PhD researcher & share my #sciencepolicyinterface experience as #UNFCCC,@unep.org & #UNDESA delegate to highlight #knowledgexchange on #techinnovation 4 #climateaction & #sustainabledevelopment.

💧 Can deleting photos really help with the UK’s drought? Yes, says Claire Hunt on Sky News FYI: storing 10,000 photos uses as much water as you'd save with a water butt or turning off the tap while brushing your teeth. Small actions add up! (🎥 From 2:04) #SaveWater #WaterCrisis #EcoTips

🐝 Wasps are booming in Britain this year thanks to a record warm spring. Bad news for your picnic 🍦🍺 - alcohol & sweet treats are magnets, says Dr Tilly Collins (@polytilly.bsky.social). But don’t panic: wasps are vital pest controllers & pollinators 🌱

As climate extremes intensify, renewable energy projects are turning to parametric insurance for rapid payouts. Dr @iain-staffell.bsky.social warns that such unpredictability increases the equity needed to fund projects, posing a barrier to development. #RenewableEnergy #ClimateRisk

🌍 Leading the charge on climate action @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social has 11 IPCC AR7 authors - the most of any institution! CEP’s Joeri Rogelj, Friederike Otto, Robin Lamboll & Jarmo Kikstra are shaping the science behind global policy. #IPCC #ClimateAction

Blaming disasters solely on climate change can be as misleading as blaming 'nature,' says @frediotto.bsky.social. What turns weather into catastrophe is human choices - building in risky places, weak planning, poor warnings. Accountability matters. #TexasFloods #ClimateResilience

Great to see CEP alumna Kate Hofman sharing her expertise 🙌 Kate studied an MSc in Environmental Technology with us before founding GrowUp Farms and co-founding Pesto. Inspiring advice for early-stage startups on raising investment ⤵️

🌡️Climate change made ‘relentless’ Nordic heatwave at least ten times more likely, according to research by @wwattribution.bsky.social. The two-week heatwave led to sightings of reindeer in urban areas in Norway, Sweden and Finland, alongside wildfires, overcrowded hospitals and algal blooms 🧵

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright claims climate change isn’t making extreme weather worse. However, scientists, incl. CEP’s Ben Clarke, say the evidence is clear: greenhouse gases are driving dangerous extremes, destroying lives & livelihoods. 🌍 #ClimateCrisis #ExtremeWeather

A new @wwattribution.bsky.social study shows climate change made Pakistan’s recent heavy rains 10-15% heavier, fuelling devastating floods that killed 300+ people and destroyed thousands of homes. It’s time to build resilient homes and slash emissions before it’s too late 🌍 #ClimateCrisis #Floods

Really amazed by the turnout for our launch of 'Mangroves of Pemba' in Stonetown this past weekend, including the head of the heads of Zanzibar's of the Ministry Natural Resources and Dept. of Forests See: shorturl.at/zwMYN @ic-cep.bsky.social @imperiallifesci.bsky.social @imperialsci.bsky.social

🚨 The US has fired its last climate negotiators, leaving no official presence at #COP30. Professor @joerirogelj.bsky.social warns this “dangerous vacuum” may let China’s voice be heard more loudly, shifting the global climate balance. #ClimateCrisis

🌍❄️ A 1.5-million-year-old ice core, Earth’s oldest, has arrived in the UK from #Antarctica Inside are ancient air bubbles that could reveal why ice ages began to last longer and how early humans survived extreme climate change Prof @joerirogelj.bsky.social calls it “a window on our planet’s past”

If 1.5°C warming is the safety line and 2°C the cliff edge, how far into the danger zone can we go? @joerirogelj.bsky.social and @robinlamboll.bsky.social say we need a clearer, stricter upper limit, around 1.7°C, to guide policy beyond 1.5°C The question: how close to the edge is too close?
