NEW OCEANA STUDY: 🦑Half of the squid products analysed in Brussels & Milan lack basic consumer information. 🧬DNA tests show that many came from high-risk fisheries linked to illegal fishing & labour abuses. We need clear labels on all seafood products. europe.oceana.org/reports/the-...

Profoundly infuriating. Every single barrel of oil pumped moves us deeper into dangerous climate change. The science is absolutely clear about this: the carbon budget to limit to 1.5°C is practically gone. Tipping points loom. We need rapid fossil fuel PHASE OUT. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“The biggest barrier to equal opportunity is child poverty,” said Reeves, as she abolishes the two-child cap on child benefit

These are among the oldest forests on earth, but they're running up against the new world of climate change--firefighting help badly needed! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/w...

As our population increases, so does the demand for food, housing and the goods we consume. Meeting these needs leads to cutting down forests. Agricultural expansion is the biggest driver of deforestation, but climate change, wildfires and insect outbreaks are accelerating that loss.

It's always interesting to hear the personal stories that come out of the data. Personal tipping points: Four people share their climate journeys www.france24.com/en/live-news...

"Warming is going to exceed 1.5°C. We are heading into overshoot within the next few years": a stark message by PIK Director Rockström & James Dyke in @theconversation.com. Yet, science shows a way back: fossil-fuel phase-out, nature protection, carbon removal. theconversation.com/the-world-lo...

Small-scale fishers are vital for coastal economies, but still left behind when quotas are allocated. The #CommonFisheriesPolicy recognises them, but EU countries fail to ensure fair access. On #WorldFisheriesDay, we stand with small-scale fishers & call for fair quotas 🎣

Researching this week's column, I stumbled across something that amazed me: the near-absence of reliable data about climate impacts over most of the world. Due to the rich world's failure to fund research. We don't know because our governments don't care. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If we don't rapidly phase out fossil fuels, we can say goodbye to coral reefs, the Greenland and Antarctic icesheets, and permafrost. The results will not be pretty.

The World Health Organization & human rights bodies recognise abortion as "a simple health care intervention.” Doing so supports abortion being treated in the same way as other essential reproductive health services. oneill.law.georgetown.edu/global-appro...

Part of the campaign's purpose is to help children focus on some of the positive efforts to tackle climate change, not just problems. This aligns with government plans to include climate education in compulsory primary school curricula. www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/ar...

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want more walkable cities.

Not all species are equally threatened with extinction. For amphibians, the main threats come from habitat loss, climate change and disease. Human activity is the main driver of extinction for all species facing threat.

America’s climate catastrophe will leave many parts of the country uninhabitable. Vann R. Newkirk II reports on what life will be like for residents of these climate “dead zones,” which have already begun to reveal themselves: https://theatln.tc/CD8bgA0X

We presented evidence at the #UN in April on the impacts climate change was having on child mortality rates. We're only going to keep seeing more examples of individuals' health being impacted by the climate crisis. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🗳️ @europarl.europa.eu has voted to 'simplify' corporate sustainability reporting and due diligence. Sounds technical but it's bad news. Diluting rules designed to keep big business honest about its impact on people and planet will make it harder for consumers to invest their money sustainably.

Bottom trawling isn’t just an ocean issue, it’s a climate one too. It destroys carbon-rich seabeds & weakens the ocean's resilience. Banning it in marine protected areas is vital for our seas & in the fight against climate breakdown ✊🌎 #COP30 @euractiv.com www.euractiv.com/opinion/the-...

As the global population grows, the pressure on ecosystems and natural resources intensifies. This reality is clear and measurable, yet many people still treat population as a taboo subject.

Since 1990, the emissions share of the richest 1% has increased by 13%, and the richest 0.1% has grown by 32%, while the poorest 50% has decreased by 3%. policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/cl...
