✈️ Using food crops to fuel airplanes could do more harm than good.
New WRI analysis finds that proposed changes to U.K. aviation fuel rules could increase deforestation, threaten food security and raise emissions. Read more: bit.ly/4zAoZy2
🌍 Fewer than half of countries have a long-term climate strategy.
Amid economic pressures, energy shocks and political change, these plans can help governments stay on course toward resilient, net-zero economies.

🌏 Asia is no longer a passive recipient of global climate decisions. It’s becoming a locomotive in its own right.
Could regional cooperation become a new engine for climate diplomacy? Arunabha Ghosh and Jhalak Aggarwal explore: bit.ly/4qRjTKz
⚙️ Long-term climate plans that hold through energy shocks, budget fights and changes of government. What does that take?
India, Ethiopia, South Africa, Australia and France offer some answers in our new WRI article: bit.ly/4s2ViTG
🌡️ The world will exceed 1.5°C of warming, at least temporarily. But we can still bring temperatures back down.
Going beyond net zero to net negative emissions will be key. Learn more from @WRIClimate and Clea Schumer: bit.ly/4y9iMbh
📣 #COP31 can strengthen the role of long-term planning in climate action.
2050 is Now is calling for new and updated long-term strategies and a dedicated UNFCCC synthesis report ahead of the second Global Stocktake.

🌐 Can the EU help revive climate multilateralism?
Anne-Sophie Cerisola makes the case for defending the multilateral “big tent” while resisting a retreat into like-minded-only spaces. Read her new essay for @WRIclimate: bit.ly/4zTdov2
☀️💨 10 countries have scaled solar and wind at rates nearly as fast as what’s needed globally to limit warming to 1.5°C. A rapid transition to renewables is possible across very different country contexts.

Today, most greenhouse gas emissions can be traced to five key sectors:
⚡ Energy
🌽 Agriculture
🏭 Industrial processes
🗑️ Waste
🌲 Land use, land-use change and forestry
#ClimateWatch breaks it down: go.wri.org/ghg-charts-tw
🔥For most of human history, fire was a tool to be wielded with knowledge, precision and care — not an enemy to be suppressed.
Recovering control will require learning from the past while confronting the political choices of the present. Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/4rSpFfr
🌡️ Reaching net zero can stop global temperatures from continuing to rise. But, bringing them back down after exceeding 1.5°C will require sustained net-negative CO2 emissions.
Learn what it will take to get there in our latest Insights article: bit.ly/4y9iMbh
🌊 Are blue foods getting enough attention in national climate plans?
New WRI Ocean research examines how 86 island and coastal countries are incorporating #BlueFoods into their 2025 NDCs.
