“We should be focused on real reductions in emissions, rather than engaging in a counting game." 60 climate scientists call on big companies to slash climate pollution by hitting "real zero", not "net zero" underpinned by "ineffectual" carbon credits theguardian.com/environment/20…
The only path that can prevent further escalation of climate impacts was “real zero” and not “net zero”.
60 leading climate scientists have signed the Real Zero Pledge, pointing the finger at "ineffectual" carbon offsets that are serving to INCREASE emissions.
@lethalhumidity
Rising humidity is driving deadly heatwaves, labelled by the @IPCC_CH as a top climate threat. Last night @UN HQ we announced almost $6M for 10 research projects on humidity’s impact on survival, food security & migration + a global warning system to protect at-risk communities.
Protecting the most vulnerable from the impacts of #ClimateChange is not just about adaptation, it’s about safeguarding human dignity. Great to hear about @lethalhumidity work on #ExtremeHeat impact on migrants & displaced people during #UNGA79#ClimateMigration
Amen sister. @KatrinJM Director of Climate Change Research Center University of New South Whales. “we must phase out fossil fuels and stop pretending that offsets and carbon capture are going to get us there.” @lethalhumidity
Studies reveal that women are often more vulnerable to extreme heat, yet a lack of detailed, localised data hampers our ability to protect them. India’s heat action plans need to consider gender inclusivity to safeguard all citizens. bit.ly/3XjO4O6@RamitDebnath
New research shows that women in the Global who are more at risk from heatwaves face unclear dangers in places like India due to data gaps. We need better, gender-specific data for effective climate action. Read more: bit.ly/3XjO4O6@RamitDebnath
The most vulnerable to climate migration are often those who have contributed least to global warming. Equity and justice must be at the heart of climate solutions. #ClimateJustice#SustainableFuture
By 2050, it’s estimated that one in every 45 people globally will be displaced by climate impacts. We need urgent action to support these climate migrants. #ActOnClimate#HumanRights
Climate migration is a reality. Every year, millions are forced to leave their homes due to extreme weather conditions and rising sea levels. #ClimateCrisis#Migration
Climate migration isn’t just about relocation; it strains urban infrastructure, stretches resources, and can deepen social divides. We need to prepare now for a more transient world. #SustainableCities#ClimateMigration
