[COMMENTARY] You don’t need to travel to the Amazon to experience the essence of a primeval forest, a new op-ed argues: Poland’s Białowieża Forest harbors the best-preserved fragments of lowland deciduous and mixed forests in the European Lowlands. ** The views expressed are those of the author.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

We have a planet. We have an atmosphere around it. We are fucking it up. We need to stop it. Thanks.

Counting lives saved is difficult, but it can show us the great difference some people have made— Scientists can make an enormous difference in the world.

NEW: Ever heard of a grätzloase? It means “neighbourhood oasis”– a miniature park replacing a parking space, aka parklets. With the blessing of city hall, more than 100 of them have sprung up across Vienna since 2015. And in theory, anyone in Vienna can build one. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In Portugal at the mo. All over south of Europe results of the dramatic changes to this Earth’s atmosphere are being felt with ecosystem destruction and what seems like a never ending vicious feedback loop. This needs to change. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Happy International Youth Day! 🎥 Watch as #AfriFOODlinks Youth Ambassadors advocate for transformed urban food systems: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5ll.... They call on their city leaders and peers to act, reminding us that food is cross-cutting and collaboration is key! Learn more: bit.ly/412kE8d

Very serious. Water is indeed life. Please read the paper or hear this 4 minutes summary. We need to be mindful on how we use water. We cannot survive on LLMs.

🌊 Our message to EU Environment Ministers: Europe urgently needs a strong #WaterResilienceStrategy! We must prioritise nature over short-term fixes, hold polluters accountable, and above all, take a systemic approach 🤝 Let's protect people, ecosystems, and our future. Joint letter in comments ⬇️

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

This is fine -dot- gif

"Advisory opinions are technically non-binding but are considered authoritative because they summarise existing law...They are expected to be used in future litigation and to bolster political negotiations." After a long campaign spearheaded by Pacific Islanders www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Three key takeaways: - Fossil fuel subsidies and licensing can now constitute internationally wrongful acts - The 1.5°C limit is no longer aspirational - it's a legal obligation - States cannot hide behind "concurrent causes" to avoid climate reparations 2/5

Just one more blaring klaxon letting everyone know not to use LLMs for anything

I understand that engaging with the news can be daunting but this one is a great example of a small group of people using doughnut economics to make their decisions. There are already other major cities doing this like Barcelona. Together we can do better! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Needles cruelty… no extra comments. So much that could be said. You know it.

Em muitos países legislação está a ser discutida a nível da cidadania e dos direitos daqueles que decidem mudar de país (por conflito, guerra, fome, etc). Em Portugal também. Portugal tem centenas de anos de experiência. Sei que vamos tratar de todos como gostaríamos de ser tratados. Assim seja!

This pattern is dangerous.

Every decision I make in my life from what I eat to what I buy and how I travel is permeated by this notion. The next generations depend on all of us.

Our weather patterns are changing rapidly, increasing pressure on all systems, disrupting the food chain, threatening our survival. It is not political, but rooted in the laws of nature. We need to act fast: spreading disinformation is indeed dangerous. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My point precisely. Water will become scarcer and we need it for life! So… consider solar? Wind?

It is 39°C in Lisbon today. The same in Madrid. In Paris next week it will also be 39°C. Look at this picture. People are under trees, where it can be up to 12°C cooler. Given trees take decades to mature and many don’t survive, cities need to plant many more street trees. And urgently.

Now we are talking - it's simple: without aims, preferences, memory etc. no animal won't be able to survive... Instincts just ain't be enough...

"The doubling of the energy imbalance has come as a shock, because the sophisticated climate models we use largely didn’t predict such a large and rapid change. Typically, the models forecast less than half of the change we’re seeing in the real world" #ClimateEmergency

"It’s easy to feel overwhelmed about the scale of climate change. There is a constant stream of bad news about rising temperatures and extreme weather. What I hope System Update shows is that there is no end of ideas for how such an outcome could be averted, & how you could put them into practice"

We need everyone on board or we will not manage to save our Planet… the basis of all we have. Clearly this seems like a bad idea. Can we go back to it? @ursula

I’m not an economist but $1 trillion sounds like a lot.

BREAKING! Big banks poured a staggering $869 BILLION into fossil fuels in 2024 alone. The new #BankingOnClimateChaos report is out and it's not good. During the hottest year on record, banks increased their financing of coal, oil and gas. Its unconscionable. Read: bankingonclimatechaos.org
