According to researchers at McGill University, a single plastic teabag submerged in brewing temperature water can release 11.6 billion #microplastics.

Leaked files acquired by @ClimateReport_ and @WeAreDrilled expose the UAE's contemplation of removing the term 'oil' from its state-owned energy corporation's name as part of a major green rebrand ahead of hosting the #COP28 climate summit.

#COP28 cannot bring about the ambitious action we need to avoid #climate breakdown if it is held in an environment where the host state restricts the #freedomofexpression of participants, has a track record of throttling civil society. @Amnesty#UAE#UAE94
‼️Pay attention‼️
#UAE will aim to triple its renewables base by 2030 backed by $54bn of investments from #COP28. Give COP28 to the UAE could be an even bigger disappointment than #COP27.

It's infuriating to see how #indigenous people, the true heroes of conservation, are still marginalized and face threats in their fight to protect our forests. We must amplify their voices, defend their rights, and hold accountable those who exploit their lands. #IndigenousRights
Corruption and its staggering costs have hobbled sustainable development in all countries, but fresh efforts are making inroads. #SDGs#GlobalGoals#2030Agenda https://t.co/tLovFDG1Zz
These time-lapse views of our changing planet are a stark reminder of the urgent need to address #climatechange. We can't ignore the signs any longer. It's time to take bold action, protect our Earth, and secure a sustainable future for generations to come. #climateaction
The devastating consequences of single-use plastics like plastic bags, balloons & bottle caps on wildlife, communities, & tourism demand immediate action! If we do not act, plastic consumption and waste will increase 300% by 2060. #SUP#INC2#SDGs
Join the movement for a plastic-free future! Single-use plastics are wreaking havoc on our environment and marine life. It's time to take action. Let's support the call to ban or restrict single-use plastics and embrace sustainable alternatives! #SUP#INC2#SDGs
The science is clear: the ocean is seriously degraded.
This year, people from around the world gathered at the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon, Portugal to find ways to #SaveOurOcean & protect our future.
See how you can #ActNow: https://t.co/QtPJbVXpcf #YearInReview
The Co-Chairs of the Third #UNOceanConference (UNOC) has invited inputs from civil society organizations (CSOs) to share feedback and expectations for the event.
The consultation is open until 15 June 2023

Exciting news! The co-chairs of the @UN Ocean Conference are seeking inputs from civil society. This is a valuable opportunity for diverse voices to contribute towards ocean conservation and sustainable development! #UNOceanConference#SustainableDevelopment#OceanConservation
The @UN welcomes the continuation of the Black Sea Initiative, which has moved over 30 million tons of food, helping to bring down global prices and stabilize markets.

The European State of the Climate Report reveals alarming climate trends. Rising temperatures, extreme weather, and sea-level rise demand urgent action. Let's unite for sustainability, reduce emissions, and protect our planet. #ClimateChange#Sustainability#EuropeanClimateRep
The recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on #ClimateChange highlights the urgent need for immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the devastating impacts of climate change!
After 6 months in a NASA cargo shuttle, the seeds of 2 crops are being returned to Earth. Growing these seeds will help to understand how extreme conditions & radiation affect crop development. Can we reduce hunger on the planet? #seedsinspace https://t.co/GNLhmS2MMv
Without stronger action against emissions, “whatever we do on finance on #adaptation, loss & damage will fall short of what we need.” The sweltering conditions are testing the ability of governments to prevent major disruptions to agriculture and power generation in economies.
The impacts of extreme heat are escalating, threatening lives, ecosystems, and our future. We must prioritize systemic adaptation measures, invest in resilient infrastructure, and take immediate action to combat this existential threat. #ClimateCrisis#Heatwave#Adaptation
