Addressing G20 Agriculture Working Group in South Africa, @FAO.org Director-General QU Dongyu stressed that the world’s largest economies are uniquely positioned to drive the transformation towards more efficient, inclusive, resilient & sustainable agrifood systems. buff.ly/cZZyGnl #G20SouthAfrica

Heatwaves are forcing nuclear plants in France and Switzerland to shut down due to cooling water limits. As I explored in past research, climate risks challenge nuclear’s reliability. Are our energy systems ready for a hotter, water-stressed world? doi.org/10.1016/j.es...

Três pontos percentuais, num universo de 90%, estão a lançar a polémica sobre a nova proposta de redução de emissões da UE até 2040. O que são os créditos de carbono que serão introduzidos em 2036? Por @alineflor.bsky.social

UE propõe incorporar créditos de carbono transfronteiriços como parte da estratégia para alcançar a ambiciosa meta de redução de 90% das emissões de GEE até 2040. Esta abordagem pode colocar em risco a concretização de metas nacionais de terceiros e levanta preocupações de injustiça climática.

🌱New paper: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lMg25Ce0r... 🌍Up to 152.5 Mha of Global South land may be needed by 2050 to support the EU Green Deal ⚠️ Risks: deforestation, biodiversity loss, displacement. ⚖️ Trade-offs with local climate goals 🤝 Call for justice-centred policies to avoid green neo-colonialism

Aviation emits >2.5% of energy-related CO₂, remains largely untaxed and underregulated. A new #UN coalition proposes solidarity levies on premium air travel and private jets to fund climate action. High-income&frequent flyers must contribute fairly to global resilience: shorturl.at/GtM3T

“Simplificação” é, na realidade, um enfraquecimento das proteções ambientais e climáticas associadas à agricultura na União Europeia, dizem organizações não governamentais.

Lisbon ranks 35th out of 36 European cities in child-friendly urban mobility: only 10% of streets have 30 km/h limits and just 7% have dedicated cycle lanes. Lower speeds and better cycling infra are proven measures for safer, low-carbon urban mobility: shorturl.at/d0VEL @cleancitiescampaign.org 🚲🚴

I have been very disappointed, although not really surprised, to see commentators attempt to blame renewables for yesterday's blackout in Spain and Portugal. Let me explain what they've said and why it is wrong. /1

A major blackout hit Iberia yesterday—highlighting the need to strengthen resilience of our low-carbon energy systems. Empowering energy communities and reinforcing decentralised, renewable-based infrastructure are key to building a secure, climate-safe future. #EnergyTransition shorturl.at/k326S

Global warming isn't just about rising temperatures—it's about growing instability. Rapid temperature flips are becoming more frequent, intense and fast. These shifts challenge people & food security & ecosystems, demanding urgent reduction of GHGs and adaptation: doi.org/10.1038/s414...

22 April is #EarthDay! This year's theme: "Our Power, Our Planet" reminds us that the choices we make today will determine our future climate. Transitioning to low-emission energy systems will have multiple co-benefits, including improvements in air quality & health. ➡️ bit.ly/SRYRpt23

Reatores nucleares são projetados para linha de base devido à sua inércia térmica e estabilidade. Com maior penetração de renováveis, podem limitar a flexibilidade da rede e restringir solar e eólica: www.publico.pt/2025/04/21/e...

Cattle = ~15% of global GHG & a top driver of deforestation in Brazil. JBS may break its zero-deforestation pledge—again. Traceability is key, but implementation gaps remain. Pledges mean little without accountability: www.theguardian.com/environment/... #Deforestation #Amazon

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences. Read the AMS statement, in partnership w/ @nwas.org: bit.ly/4cz2RtC

So the US was supposed to report its greenhouse gas emissions to the UNFCCC yesterday. For the first time since 1997, it didn't. This follows last week's revelation that Trump's EPA is stopping collection of GHG emission from 40 of 41 sectors www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Overshoot: A Conceptual Review of Exceeding and Returning to Global Warming of 1.5°C. Once we exceed 1.5°C, is it all lost? Can we get back to it from above? What risks would that avoid, and which ones not? Great collaboration with a range of IPCC authors! www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump's climate rollback is a disaster. Withdrawing from PA, slashing EPA staff, isolating US scientists from international community and pushing fossil fuels over clean energy puts the planet at risk. The world moves forward—he drags the US backward #ClimateActionNow www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/c...
