Ice melting at Konkordiaplatz, Great Aletschgletscher, continues. No relief for #glaciers...
4 meters of ice loss over the thickest ice of the European Alps in the year 2024 😢

26 July is #MangroveDay!
Mangroves contribute to the wellbeing, food security, & protection of coastal communities. Yet, they are being lost at a rate of 3-5 times higher than other forests.
Discover their benefits #ForNature & humanity.

The protest at COP28 by Licypriya Kangujam, a 12-year-old climate-justice activist from India, leads the frontpage of the Financial Times
Neatly illustrates why these stunts can have so much impact
Will be one of the defining images of this COP

It might be the time to remind all that ~90% of current CO2 emissions are due to fossil fuel burning.

We need #COP28 to deliver a phase out of fossil fuels. Don't we want a phase out of the climate crisis?

ANALYSIS: what impact will the #COP28 announcements make on closing the emissions gap?
Few of them will do so meaningfully.
Many either lack the ambition, clarity, coverage or accountability needed to make a difference /🧵

Massachusetts is the first state in the US requiring gas companies to phase down fossil gas for heating.
The state set out a clear path toward electrification of heating and could lead regulators in other states to follow suit.

Important new report: Just as in the IPCC, it shows that if we go beyond 1.5, we enter a high-risk zone of crossing tipping points. We need to move fast to avoid moving to a point where the Earth system takes over & pushed us in a direction with unmanageable conditions.
500+ pages, 200+ researchers: The most comprehensive review to date on #TippingPoints in the Earth System is out, with @UniofExeter. The Global Tipping Points report delivers a comprehensive assessment of tipping point risks & societal opportunities.

Beitrag & Interview in @10vor10: Anzahl von Öl-, Gas- & Kohle-Lobbyisten an der #COP28 ist ~4x höher als in 2022
Das ist extrem problematisch. Kann die🇨🇭mit anderen Ländern sicherstellen, dass es nicht wieder vorkommt?

The path to reaching net zero emissions from the energy sector & limiting global warming to 1.5 °C has narrowed.
But achieving these goals remains possible due to record growth of key clean energy technologies like solar PV & EVs.

Wir könnten 2023 das 1.5°C Ziel erstmal überschreiten.
Wo wir 2050 oder 2100 enden, ist unsicher. Was wir jedoch heute tun können, um auf Kurs zu kommen, ist klar.
Es ist kein Problem von Technologie und Geld, sondern eine Frage der Umsetzung.
