Miguel Arias Cañete, EU commissioner for climate action and energy, says that after adopting stronger targets for renewable energy and energy efficiency last week, EU is now able to cut its emissions by more than 45% below 1990 levels by 2030. https://t.co/r8r3a3yMgS

Iceland plays its first #WorldCup game ever Saturday. My colleague at #Environice, Birna Hallsdottir, suggested that the team would offset GHG emissions associated with their travels. They said sure, and a new wetland restoration project is now underway. https://t.co/ekiUd1OanO

#Sweden agrees: to bring #ParisAgreement home, #EU needs to reduce emissions with 55% by 2030 says Swedish State Secretary Eva Svedling, joining earlier call from #TheNetherlands. This is also what the families of #PeoplesClimateCase demands, AT LEAST. Time for EU to #StepUp2018

[Hrafnhildur Bragadottir @abba_braga]

This is big. In #PeoplesClimateCase ten families impacted by climate change are suing the EU for not doing enough to mitigate climate change. https://t.co/hjvTwI2aNO

Dear friends visiting my little island. Do not buy this shit please. It's a scheme made to get money off tourists with a side-effect of a lot of plastic waste. We pride ourselves of our tap water.

Last week saw promising news about UK climate policy, and now seven EU members are pushing for enhanced ambition. Carbon-neutrality is increasingly on the table, including in Iceland which aims for net-zero emissions in 2040.

.@claireperrymp :"I am pleased to announce that after the IPCC report later this year, we will be seeking advice from the UK’s independent advisers, the Committee on Climate Change, on the implications of the Paris Agreement for the UK’s long-term emissions reduction targets."

[Hrafnhildur Bragadottir @abba_braga]

The latest Icelandic national inventory report (NIR), submitted to the UNFCCC today, shows a 2% decrease in overall emissions between 2015-2016, but a worrying 9% increase in transport emissions between years. https://t.co/D6W1ebDqeV
