'We must accelerate action in this decade to prevent climate change from spiralling out of control.
WWF will keep working to help make sure this multilateral process, that has proved its resilience before, is strengthened and can deliver the results the world needs.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE, CHAOS OR COMMUNITY? Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. asks that very poignant question that is still relevant today, in his book of this same title he gives us insight. Buy here: https://t.co/e3gVhy6ilk

The Japanese art of #kintsugi—repairing broken pottery with lacquer, gold, and silver—embraces an ethos of waste reduction and creative reuse. Traditional methods emphasize the therapeutic nature of preserving items rather than discarding them hastily. #CulturalVitality
People with disabilities are a gift from God who must be cherished and allowed to thrive.
I am pleased that @Synod members voted to strengthen the church’s witness to the human dignity of all God’s children, reaffirming every person's uniqueness and calling for better support for families of disabled children.

One of the biggest questions we may be facing is how to respond to the role of animal agriculture in climate change. So why aren't world leaders addressing it? https://t.co/4DjVaYR8ad
Price of oranges has tripled, says the IMF
As the #ClimateCrisis escalates, oranges are yet another food item we will be saying goodbye to. Floods, droughts, insects and a bacterial infection have all contributed to the worst harvests in decades in Brazil and US.
Orange juice comes from a large plant called a tree. These things prefer a normal climate, ideally neither underwater or completely desiccated. These are conditions which their disease vectors prefer.
The juicing industry is already considering alternative fruit for juicing, until of course, the climate crisis takes that away from us as well. For now, you can enjoy OJ at triple the price. Until your money becomes worthless, when there’s no OJ to buy and you’ll be lucky if you have clean water.
I’m both a food scientist and a plant biologist and I’m here to tell you, the #foodapocalypse is here

Honestly, It is becoming harder to be a climate optimist. What the planet is going through right now is unreal.
Even the most careful and orthodox scientists I know appear on edge.
