We now have 6% higher emissions than in 2015 Paris Agreement year. Emissions from coal now at record levels...we are fast using up the carbon budget for 1.5C Deforestation outpaces regrowth X2 with little change in global north #GCB2023 #COP28 GlobalCarbonProject Future Earth (@futureearth.bsky.social)


Carbon dioxide removal via reafforestation & afforestation isn't sufficient to even offset land use chnge emissions. This shows inadequacy of natural CDR. Novel CDR is tiny: no substitute for massive phase out & phase down of FF - what's really needed! #GCB2023 GlobalCarbonProject

Are we peaking carbon emissions yet? "This year the 1.1% global emissions incr is largely driven by China's COVID recovery. If next year China's emissions go down we could see a levelling next year" Pierre Friedlingstein GlobalCarbonProject #GCB2023 Future Earth (@futureearth.bsky.social) @ExeterUni #COP28

It's been a privilege and challenge to work on coordinating this statement completed in a day and a half at #COP28 with Future Earth (@futureearth.bsky.social) colleagues & World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) now with +100 signatures from climate change researchers, please see link to sign here:

And also Thomas Stocker Universität Bern and Gabi Hegerl The University of Edinburgh


The Global stocktake assesses climate action to date and what needs to be done to avoid dangerous warming. Data from the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative have made a contribution to this important #Parisagreement process with global records for the Essential Climate Variables -


Tipping points pose a threat to society, and we need satellites to track and model them. What's the best type of sensor? That depends on which part of the climate system you are interested in. Read our perspective just out in NatureClimate tinyurl.com/58tdt2ze

Great to see this paper - an agenda on ecosystem resilience monitoring for the #remotesensing community. This paper arose from discussions at a workshop hosted by International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in collaboration with ESA Earth Observation ESA Climate Office World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) AIMES & TIPMIP The Earth Commission
