More irregular rain 🌦️ More droughts 🚱 More floods & landslides ⚠️ In Rwanda, climate change has magnified the impacts of already-degraded ecosystems to significantly increase vulnerability to disaster risks for rural households. #Adaptation is crucial: https://t.co/07XU0qBRyu
People Don't Want Plastic.
They continue to buy it because companies have provided no other options like refill or reuse.
[Fact]- One refillable bottle replaces 25 single-use plastic bottles.

Solutions to the #ClimateCrisis
🪨 Ban coal worldwide
⛽️ Remove fossil fuel subsidies
⚡️ Switch to renewable energy
🛢 Phase out gas & oil
♻️ circular economy
🚗 Ban non-electric vehicles
🚴🏾 walking/cycling
🚜 sustainable farming
🏠 Low carbon buildings
🌳 Reforest/rewild
Climate-smart agriculture & nature-based solutions, such as carbon sequestration through mangroves, are crucial means of dealing with the impacts of climate change. People particularly in developing countries need more information and capacity to effectively take action.
The difference between 1.5°C and 2°C of global warming can seem marginal.
In fact they represent vastly different scenarios for our future.
To keep the 1.5°C goal alive, we need to halve emissions by 2030. #COP27
Trees: we eat their fruit, they provide us with shade and they are nature's power plants, from the gas carbon dioxide that we exhale, they make the oxygen that we breathe. But above all, trees are beautiful and worth protecting - and the older they get, the more valuable they are
BREAKING: UN Secretary-General says the world's biggest carbon emitters must start drastically cutting emissions within the next 36 weeks to avert climate catastrophe 🧵
#ClimateChange is the defining challenge of our time.
If we are to
🌍 halve emissions by 2030,
🌍 reach the goals of the #ParisAgreement,
🌍 and create a healthier future
we need every day to become #EarthDay.
285 billion tonnes of carbon (as CO2) have been added to the atmosphere since industrialization (mainly by today's industrialized countries) and more is added faster than ever- climate disruption crazy. #climate

To protect people and 🌍, we must turn the 2020's into a decade of transformational #ClimateAction.
