Sinkende CO₂-Senkenleistung der Wälder gefährdet Klimaziele: Klimawandel, Feuer & Abholzung schwächen CO₂-Aufnahmefähigkeit von Wäldern. Wird Waldschutz & Emissionsrückgang um 5 Jahre verzögert, könnten sich Klimaschutzkosten verdoppeln, so PIK Studie. pik-potsdam.de/de/aktuelles/n…

Every fraction of a degree matters! To reach #ZeroClimateDisasters we must: 1️⃣stop the creation of new risks by rapidly reducing emissions 2️⃣ accelerate action on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction ow.ly/gIq450RYHKP

It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm. And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight euronews.com/travel/2024/12…

🤝 In 2025, we’re focused on strengthening collaborations with the UN Family so that all nations—especially the most vulnerable—can build resilience to extreme weather, climate, water, and environmental events.

In case you missed it, 2024 was the wettest year ever recorded in Paris, France, since records began 152 years ago in 1873.

The brilliant @WSL_research #Extremes MountEx team have developed a new spatial optimisation model that automatically identifies #forestmanagement units to support planning & operations in #forest enterprises. 🔖Learn more in their latest publication ➡️bit.ly/MountExPub1124

Emissions from eMobility depend heavily on electricity footprints. In Norway and Switzerland, EVs are genuinely low-carbon, while in China, savings are only ~50%. Decarbonizing electricity is essential for Net Zero—it powers all sectors, and electrification makes low-carbon…

Record-breaking rainfall and flash floods have hit Spain, causing dozens of casualties and massive disruption and economic losses. It underlines why the top priority of the WMO community is to save lives as climate change super-charges extreme weather.    wmo.int/media/news/dev…

Yesterday I posted about the floods and had dozens of denialists insisting that: - it was normal weather - flooding has always happened - it was because of blocked drains & undredged rivers If any of them are real people then they are the victims of horrific disinformation

The white ice is turning into blue water... Impression from today's @glamos_ch fieldwork on Findel #Glacier, Zermatt. Significant ice loss again despite lots of snow in winter. The decay of our beautiful glaciers is ongoing 😢

As feared, Storm Boris is wreaking havoc across parts of Central Europe with major flooding becoming widespread throughout the region. Here’s a 50-hour visible satellite and radar loop courtesy of @zoom_earth

A weather station in Czech Republic has recorded over 450 mm of rain over the past 96 hours, leading to disastrous flooding. That’s half a year's worth of rain in just 4 days.
