Falling costs of #electrotech such as solar, wind and batteries have opened the door to rapid change in Asia’s energy system.
Asia can now electrify over 70% of its economy, powered by a renewable potential that’s 14 times its annual energy demand.

Extreme weather & climate events affected 13+ million people & caused 3000+ deaths in Africa in 2025.
Only 40% of countries have multi-hazard #EarlyWarnings, but signs point to improvement in preparedness & response.

Solar electric power generation is projected to grow 180.2 percent (30,400 jobs), and wind electric power generation is projected to grow 81.4 percent (9,200 jobs)

Imagine if you had a few hours of free energy each day. For some Australians, that’s soon going to be reality, thanks to the country’s smart solar policies.
Here's what you should know: edf.org/Z6vr
In a massive step backwards, the Trump administration repealed the Public Lands Rule, putting short-term profits ahead of rural communities, wildlife, and clean drinking water instead of protecting and restoring public lands for future generations. on.nrdc.org/47GYrAA
Wed 5/27, 12PM come to SF Civic Center! CARB wants to cut affordable transit-oriented housing, major public transit projects and services, and discount programs statewide by up to $2B/year for 4 years — to give out billions in permissions to pollute. actionnetwork.org/events/eme…
One of the cuts is to the SF Environment Dept. SFE's climate work depends on grants, and the cuts will make it unable to get the grant proposals written. The City will lose money this way.
Good news, @ClimateSF
"Local policies to get buildings off gas keep winning in court….Federal courts are upholding building decarbonization policies. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was the first (and so far only) court to strike down local restraints on gas."

NEW: Falling fossil everywhere:
For the first time in 2025, fossil electricity generation fell in EVERY OECD country, compared to its peak.
Solar and wind are helping the power sector to transition away from fossil fuels #TAFF

Europe is warming >2x as fast as the global average, reducing snow & ice cover. High air temperatures, drought, heatwaves & record ocean temperatures affect regions from the Arctic to the Mediterranean.

We cannot stabilise food prices without getting fossil fuels out of food systems.
Stark warning from @FT on the coming food crisis.
"We need to loosen the grip of hydrocarbons on our food system… More sustainable farming is both possible & necessary"

#EarthDay is a reminder of the fragility of our world.
But we know what must be done:
End our addiction to fossil fuels.
Accelerate the renewables revolution.
Protect & restore nature.
Deliver climate justice for the most vulnerable.
Let’s #ActNow – for people & planet.
Message for Mother Earth Day

44% of evening peak met by batteries. In California, world’s 4th largest economy. Not some tiny pilot project or a niche experiment, a global industrial powerhouse
If you’re still sitting in boardrooms or parliament banging on about baseload and the intermittency of renewables, you’re not just wrong, you’re a dinosaur
California's 44% isn't an anomaly. It's a preview of the 2027-2030 reality for every major grid overbuilding renewables
The "technical barriers" the fossil fuel lobby loves to cry about are gone. We are shifting solar and wind into the night at a massive, industrial scale. We don't need expensive, inflexible coal or gas to keep the lights on; we need more storage and we need it now - everywhere

Temperatures could breach 40C - in March 😮
It's going to be one hell of a year - with the chances of a super-El Nino before the year's end increasing

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden.
The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite.
The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.

Revoking the Endangerment Finding doesn't just fly in the face of decades of climate science – it's directly threatening our chance at building a livable future.
