If you can't attend #ClimateWeekNYC you can still join Emergent & EDF for our expert #LEAF panel! Watch the event live on the Nature4Climate YouTube on Tuesday here: lnkd.in/eQ5YUKYK Or, add the event to your calendar here: lnkd.in/euuwnfn8

Scientists are running out of words to describe the dramatic acceleration in global warming - Aug and now Sept 2023 were the hottest months ever recorded on Earth. The planet is entering dangerous territory, unprecedented for as much as 3 million years. allianceforscience.org/blog/2023/10/g…

If someone told you HALF of our global economies would be destroyed due to climate change, would you believe them? Well, the research doesn’t lie. We're on a collision course, and this is a data-driven reality check. 1/7

"This is the new extinction & we are half way through it." "We are in terrible, terrible trouble and the longer we wait to do something about it, the worse it is going to get." Sir #DavidAttenborough buff.ly/2IzAVdc No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

Surprising. Astounding. Staggering. Unnerving. Bewildering. Flabbergasting. Disquieting. Gobsmacking. Shocking. Mind boggling.

I think we have to face the fact that from now on global temperature will exceed +1.5°C with the possible exception of a few La Niña years this decade. If we don't stop burning fossil fuels by 2030-35 at ABSOLUTE LATEST we seriously risk runaway warming and civilisation's end.

Temperatures in France soared as high as 35.8°C. It was the hottest temperature ever recorded in October in France. To reiterate - it was 35.8°C in France in OCTOBER! There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #endfossilfuels

We do understand the #globalwarming caused by fossil fuels - for four decades it’s been going as predicted. But we don’t understand the surprise upward leap that is happening now. And that worries me.

Here a reminder of the longer term perspective on atmospheric CO2 and temperature since the birth of Christ.

So Trump and Taylor Swift….now that I have your attention —>“If we don't stop burning fossil fuels by 2030-35 at ABSOLUTE LATEST we seriously risk runaway warming and civilisation's end.”

The Earth is not waiting to be saved. The Earth is waiting to be left alone #ClimateAction #amwriting #quoteoftheday #ecology

The obsession with removals relies on a false assumption that we are on track with reductions.

I’ll be attending @COP28 UAE from December 1st – 10th and participating in the events below. If you’d like to connect at COP, reach out. For full details of LEAF Coalition COP28 events, click here: forest.emergentclimate.com/the-leaf-coali…

Jack Hurd from Tropical Forest Alliance at World Economic Forum and World Economic Forum welcomes first #LEAFCoalition deals with forest countries. “These are the types of investments at the scale that really matters, and the scale that is commensurate with the problem.” Thanks for your support for LEAF! emergentclimate.com/costa-rica-and…

New research from The Climate Board reveals that the use of carbon credits, under specific eligibility, would increase the likelihood that their company would either maintain or set a science-based target VCMI 👉 vcmintegrity.org/climate-board-…

EU Comm Wopke Hoekstra "Taskforce on carbon markets will develop global approach on carbon pricing, intensify international carbon market diplomacy and amplify efforts to replicate the #ETS success by encouraging others to introduce carbon pricing mechanisms" climate.ec.europa.eu/document/downl…

Excited to share thoughts on recent Science Based Targets initiative (#SBTi) reports on BVCM. While corporate investment is emphasized as necessary & urgent, new incentives for wider participation are lacking. Collaboration is key to drive meaningful #ClimateAction. linkedin.com/pulse/sbti-str…

Good news that Science Based Targets initiative plans to allow high integrity carbon credits for Scope 3. It brings the potential to drive finance at scale for vital #climate and #natureaction, like investment in high integrity forest carbon credits. A positive step. sciencebasedtargets.org/news/statement…

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me… 🧵 1/n #ClimateCrisis

We need to be investing in protecting and restoring nature.
