“Without significant increases in the UK food system and supply chain resilience, it is unlikely the UK would be able to maintain food security if ecosystem collapse drives geopolitical competition for food.” open.substack.com/pub/climatem...

The rain is falling in more powerful bursts, with storms now 20% more intense. “It’s directly attributable to fossil fuel burning and the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. So it’s going to continue getting worse until we stop.” #climatechaos www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Tragic 😢 Rubaya mine produces about 15% of the world’s coltan, which is processed into tantalum – a heat-resistant metal that is in high demand by makers of mobile phones, computers, aerospace components and gas turbines. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

“At the moment it feels like a losing battle. Intense rainfall is hitting us more often because of climate change. It may be that in the next 50 years, perhaps in the next 20, some homes around here will have to be abandoned.” #climatechaos #flooding #migration www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

First, it was American Samoa; then my home, the Northern Mariana Islands; now the Trump administration is looking at Alaskan waters for deep sea mining. … another home to Indigenous peoples, fisheries and some of the world’s most fragile ecosystems. www.eenews.net/articles/fed...

This is a major win The Netherlands will have to put a climate action plan in place to protect the people of Bonaire, AND make stricter climate targets to contribute a fair share to limiting global heating #ClimateJustice

Parts of England + Ireland are reaching the point of water stress - perilously close to not having enough water resources to meet demand, yet water firms have to be pushed, year after year, to take steps to address this. Explore water stress where you live on our map: share.google/DqfdTVWSPXMU...

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great news! England needs to do this too. #swiftbricks

The government report echoes warnings some of us have made for years, only to be dismissed as nutters, doomsayers and extremists. It tells us that “ecosystem degradation is occurring across all regions. Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🌱 Join the Climate Justice Bloc on the National Demonstration for Palestine this weekend! 🕛 Meet at 12:00 📅 Saturday 31 January 📍 Woburn Square Garden Bring your banners, placards and friends!

The UK movement for justice in Palestine is strong. Let's make 2026 a year for Palestine. Here's why: Israel is still bombing and our government is still sending arms – like parts for the F-35 fighter jet. Now there are reports the government might roll back last year’s insufficient arms embargo.🧵👇

Reducing your footprint is just a small part of what you can do for climate and nature You can also influence other people, transform your community, reshape your workplace and campaign for change across society. It's long past time to look beyond your footprint, and consider your handprint

Close to 40C at #ausopen Extreme temperatures triggered the Australian Open’s heat protocols on Saturday, wreaking havoc on the day’s schedule and forcing fans to go without tennis on the outside courts for much of the afternoon. #climatebreakdown www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

AUSTRALIA HEAT WAVE Brutal heat today with temperatures up to 48C in South Australia with the heat expected to just get worse. Next week will compete with Jan 1939 for the hottest week ever recorded in New South Wales: ‼️We can approach 50C

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

Devastating new report on imminent threats to the UK from global ecosystem collapse which "threaten UK national security and prosperity" The Gov should now stage a televised emergency briefing. The public have a right to know. MPs join the call: www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar... #NEB2025

“This latest analysis reinforces a stark reality: a powerful, concentrated group of fossil fuel corporations are not only dominating global emissions but are actively sabotaging climate action & weakening government ambition.” #fossiltreaty @tzeporah.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Warning from a geologist in 1979 that burning fossil fuels risks "famine and social & political upheaval" 👇 Yesterday, the UK Gov published a report acknowledging this - 47 years later. But they did so without any announcement. So very few people know. It's time for a televised briefing. #NEB2025

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Important report. The global attack on nature is threatening the UK’s national security, as the increasingly likely collapse of vitally important natural systems would bring mass migration, food shortages, price rises, and global disorder. #biodiversitycrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

At the National Emergency Briefing @newscientist.com had a chat with our food expert @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social who highlighted how badly we underestimate how stongly other people support climate action. We will be tackling this head on with the People's Emergency Briefing. #netzero

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share: “Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.” (link below)

The High Seas Treaty officially comes into force, becoming the most significant global ocean protection agreement in a generation. Agreed after two decades of negotiations, the Treaty finally gives governments the legal tools to protect marine life in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

🌊 New High Seas Treaty is in effect, creating first legal framework to protect biodiversity in international waters that cover two thirds of our oceans. It enables marine protected areas, science cooperation and sustainable use — a big leap for climate and marine resilience.
