The future of finance will be distributed, multiscale, and resilience-building. Geophysical and market-driven risks require active integration of complex non-financial value considerations into mainstream financial decision-making. https://t.co/Jof63h0xmJ

Resilience is a baseline imperative; everyone deserves to live free from harm. Data systems can align whole economies with climate-secure prosperity. SMEs make the right to resilience investable. #COP28 should operationalize the #RightToResilience. https://t.co/e3kVGPulzn

Our friends at @Climate_INTL have shared this overview of insights from #ClimateDiplomacy workshops being held ahead of the #COP28 round of negotiations. #ClimateSmart trade & #HumanRights will be critical to sustainable prosperity. https://t.co/fGetB0PpMb

Nations must heed #PopeFrancis' warning on #ClimateChange.

"The necessary transition towards clean energy sources, such as wind and solar energy, and the abandonment of fossil fuels is not progressing at the necessary speed.”

During Climate Week and the UN GA, there were signs that global ambition to deal with #ClimateChange is moving in the right direction:

"We are working toward a paradigm shift, in which benefits to people and planet are core value considerations."

CCI is launching a Food, Finance & Democracy Project, because without #ClimateSmart #PeopleCentered #CleanFinance & healthy sustainable #FoodSystems, a livable future will be out of reach. @climate_intl #SDGs #ClimateWeek #COP28 https://t.co/jetT9As0Uo

[UN Climate Change @UNFCCC]

Misinformation and hate speech on digital platforms are threatening progress on #ClimateAction.

The UN is developing a voluntary Code of Conduct to help address this challenge - and we want to hear from you!

❗ Deadline: 1 December 2023

Our favorite climate bill is back 🤩

@RepCarbajal just announced he will reintroduce the Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act this week!

The bill charges corporate polluters a fee for their carbon pollution & gives Americans a #CarbonCashback.

Clean water is not a privilege.

It is a human right.

Yet, 2 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water around the world.

Ensuring access to clean & safe water supplies is essential for people to lead safe, productive & healthy lives.‌ #GlobalGoals

As the @WorldBank evolves its mission, CCI submits a briefing paper urging the Bank to be more inclusive and people centered in dealing with #ClimateChange.

“It must be the guiding principle behind everything the Bank does,” says CCI's Joe Robertson.

It is stunning and tragic that the very same species which revealed the secrets of the atom, peered back to nearly the big bang, and grasped the mysteries of warped spacetime can be so horrifically shortsighted.

An astonishing 45% of global oceans are experiencing a marine heatwave right now (90th percentile of sea sfc temp in a given area). What is the normal extent of marine heatwaves around the globe? Just 10% coverage. It's been stunning summer. More on MHW https://t.co/qAAI88dLUH

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

July has already seen:

The hottest three-week period ever recorded.

The three hottest days on record.

The highest-ever ocean temperatures for this time of year.

It is still possible to avoid the very worst of climate change, but only with dramatic, immediate #ClimateAction.

[Climate Civics International @climate_civics]

The #G20 failed to reach agreement on phasing down fossil fuels, something we must do to have any chance of achieving Paris goals on #ClimateChange. More progress must be made before #COP28 this fall.

Destruction of nature in the Arctic is a matter of global concern. We need to develop systems that sideline & dissuade destruction of natural life supports we cannot replace. https://t.co/NNLcPNxJVk

#NatureLoss makes it even harder to counter #GlobalHeating. Carbon is sequestered by living organisms. Life is what draws down carbon. Human activity has caused the loss of 83% of wild mammals and half of plants. https://t.co/jYoy3UqZt0

[Joseph Robertson @poet_economist]

No human being has ever lived on a planet this hot. Ice core samples and the geological record indicate that Earth has not seen this kind of global heat in at least 125,000 years. There is no more time to waste. #GlobalHeating #CleanFuture #COP28 https://t.co/ykc1PZ3JSO

[Climate Civics International @climate_civics]

It's no longer about the future impact of #ClimateChange. We're dealing with the consequences here and now. Delaying the transition off #FossilFuels will deny future generations a livable world.

This is the definition of compound, concurrent heat extremes! What you're looking at is the pressure pattern & wind flow at the 500mb level (5600 m, 18K ft). This is why Death Valley hit 129, the Med may hit 118, Iran heat index 152F and China hit an all-time heat record of 126.
