🌳 Forests absorb one-third of planet-heating emissions while providing livelihoods for 1.6 billion people. At #ClimateWeek2025, Monalisa from Good Forest Indonesia Foundation explains how smallholder farmers in Indonesia are protecting forests & growing their livelihoods.

❄ August 2025: Arctic sea ice extent 12% below the 1991–2020 average for the month, ranking 8th-lowest on record. Antarctic sea ice extent ranked 3rd-lowest for August. More in the #C3S Climate Bulletin 👉 climate.copernicus.eu/sea-ice-cover-…

🌍 The August 2025 Climate Bulletin is out! The #CopernicusEU Climate Change Service (C3S) reveals key trends. 👉 3rd-warmest August on record 👉 Global temps 0.49°C above the 1991–2020 avg 👉 1.29°C above pre-industrial levels 👉 Heatwave in focus 🔗 climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-te…

Every year, 10M hectares of forests are lost—fueling climate change & destroying biodiversity. Protecting these precious ecosystems could slash emissions by 4 gigatonnes annually. This article explains how taking action is essential for a healthy planet: unep.org/news-and-stori…

🚒 In August 2025, multiple wildfires broke out along the border between Spain and Portugal. ⁣ 🛰️ In this false-colour #ImageOfTheDay by a #CopernicusEU #Sentinel2, large burn scars are visible at Castromil, O Barco de Valdeorras & Bragança, the most affected areas.

Antarctica is losing about 136 billion tons of ice mass per year, and Greenland is losing 267 billion tons. As glaciers melt, our fresh water supplies diminish, threatening communities worldwide. We must amplify #Glaciers2025. The time to act is now.

The clean energy sector now employs more people than the fossil fuel sector. Solar, wind, electric vehicles, and batteries are creating jobs worldwide. To unlock more, countries should include clean energy in their national #ClimateAction plans. Learn more:

The healing of the ozone layer reminds us when we heed the warnings of science, progress is possible. Yet, we are hurtling towards pushing global temperature rise above 1.5°C. This #OzoneDay, let’s recommit to preserving our ozone layer & to protecting people & planet.

Forty years ago, nations united under the Vienna Convention to halt the destruction of the ozone layer. The Montreal Protocol followed, phasing out harmful chemicals and allowing the ozone layer to heal. Global action works: ozone.unep.org/ozone-day/from… Montreal Protocol Ozone Secretariat #WorldOzoneDay

🌍 Today is World Ozone Day. The Vienna Convention & Montreal Protocol show what’s possible when nations unite on science: ✅ 99% of ozone-depleting substances phased out ✅ The ozone layer is healing Proof that global cooperation works. #WorldOzoneDay #GlobalAction

One global pact quietly changed the course of our planet’s future. Not only did it help heal the ozone layer, but it’s also reversing the impacts of climate change. Wondering how? Our article explains: unep.org/news-and-stori… #WorldOzoneDay

The Montreal Protocol has successfully eliminated 99% of ozone-depleting substances. But how do we ensure the ozone layer keeps healing? This #WorldOzoneDay, discover how scientists track every leak with air flasks and precision instruments.: unep.org/news-and-stori… @Unepozone

Calling on leaders to “get serious and deliver,” António Guterres said the upcoming UN General Assembly session must be a week of solutions. “People are demanding answers and action,” he said, stressing: “Our times demand more than posturing and promises.”
