Deeply disconcerting world temperature records for 2nd day in a row, average temperature reaching 17.01C (62.62G) on Mon, 17.18C (62.9F) on Tue. Antarctica, currently in its winter, registered anomalously high temperatures, accelerating glacier melt. https://t.co/LsiCYqHVJz
States at #COP28 must agree to accelerate the phasing out of fossil fuels, stop exploitation of new fossil fuel resources, and fully honour existing commitments to climate finance.https://t.co/VPE6Hi52MM
#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
In commemoration with the World Environment Day, yesterday, we were at the premises of the Yusuf Maitama Sule University to promote tree planting and control of plastic waste.
We also launched the Keep Kano Clean Campaign at the Dandago Primary School. This Campaign signifies our commitment to getting rid of waste and the promotion of recycling in Kano.
I, therefore call on the general public to join hands with my administration in building a healthy environment for everyone in our dear state. - AKY
World Environment Day may be over, but our efforts to #BeatPlasticPollution and #BeatPlasticSaveSoil are just getting started!
Let's keep making conscious choices and inspire others to do the same.
#savesoil
Thank you to all who joined in this #WorldEnvironmentDay from around the world - your commitment and action to #BeatPlasticPollution inspire us all!
Let's keep up this momentum and continue to safeguard our common future. ✨
Plastics suffocate nature, imperil wildlife, and taint our planet. Let's rise against this ecological crisis! Embrace #reusable choices & forge a future free from the shackles of #SUP. Together, we can restore balance to our one & only #Earth! #INC2#SDGs#sutainability
The devastating impact of #corruption is felt worldwide, resulting in the loss of over $3 trillion in global public spending. This harmful practice contributes to resource depletion, worsens poverty and inequality, hampers the achievement of the #SDGs & #2030Agenda.
Knock #corruption out! Don't give or take bribes! It is more important than you think. Corruption drains more than 5% of the global GDP! And this money could be used to make #Earth a better place - to achieve #SDGs! #GlobalGoals#2030Agenda
#Indigenous people are the guardians of our planet's biodiversity. They own and protect 25% of the world's land, which harbors 80% of its #biodiversity. Yet, extractive practices endanger their rights and critical ecosystems! We must protect their ancestral lands! #natureaction
#WHO warns that chemical production worldwide continues to rise, with projected sales nearly doubling between 2017 & 2030, underscoring the urgency for concerted action to address #chemicalpollution & its impacts on #humanhealth & the #environment. #StockholmConvention#PCBs
It's time for a decisive #climateaction. Stark & disheartening are the Google Earth time-lapse views that vividly showcase the profound changes our planet has undergone due to #urbanization, natural hazards & the relentless impact of #globalwarming.
The Google Earth time-lapse views reveal the harsh reality of our impact on Earth! #Okjokull decline, a once majestic glacier in #Iceland, serves as a stark reminder of the need for #climateaction!
Appointing an oil executive to lead the world climate talks? Seriously? We need leaders who prioritize #sustainability, not profit. #Climatechange affects us all, and it's time to put the planet before corporate interests! #SultanalJaberMustGo#UAE https://t.co/FIbQK5aEhW
#Climatechange brings risks to river shipping. Rising droughts and floods impact water levels, making rivers too shallow to navigate. Ships may have to reduce cargo, affecting trade and the economy. The #MississippiRiver closure in 2012 had a big economic impact! #climateaction
