BITC Environment

We support businesses to take climate action and ensure a fair and inclusive transition to a net-zero, resilient future where people and nature thrive.

[BITC Environment @BITCenvironment]

Businesses will not reach net zero and climate resilience without the skills, capabilities and competencies to get them there. Download our new routemap to start building skills for a just transition now. https://t.co/cwtdOuApLJ

The September heatwave is unprecedented. The Central England daily mean-temperature series begins in 1772.

Today also marks the 7th day in a row of maximum temperatures hit >30°C in the UK. This has also never been recorded in September.

[United Nations @UN]

Clean air is a human right. Air pollution is a global public health emergency - and a ⁣preventable problem.

It's time we work #TogetherForCleanAir.

Earth just had its hottest three months on record confirms @WMO & @CopernicusECMWF

🌡️ Every increment of warming results in rapidly escalating compounding & cascading hazards & related losses & damages.

Earth just had its hottest three months on record - @WMO & @CopernicusECMWF

Limiting human-caused #GlobalWarming requires #NetZero CO2 emissions.

Limiting warming to 1.5°C & 2°C involves rapid, deep & in most cases immediate #GHG emission reductions.

🌧️ Storm Daniel is expected to bring thunderstorms and very heavy rainfall to the Mediterranean, in particular to Greece, over the next few days

☔ Some parts of Greece could see up to 4-5 times their average monthly rainfall in a couple of days

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

Dirty air is damaging our health.

The 2023 #AQLIReport from @UChiAir finds air pollution from PM2.5 is reducing the average person’s life expectancy by 2.3 years, with the highest losses occurring in Asia and Africa.

#IPCC #ClimateReport

Continued #GHG emissions will lead to increasing #globalwarming.

Every increment of warming will intensify multiple & concurrent hazards.

Deep, rapid & sustained reductions in emissions would lead to a slowdown in #globalwarming.

It's not a #JustTransition without social inclusion. We need to bring people along the journey to clean energy and #NetZero.

Our ocean pollution is terrifying. More and more microplastics are entering our food chains.

We need #urgent #ClimateAction to clean up our water streams, protect our ecosystems and prevent plastic poisoning.

🌊 There are 100 times more microplastics on the UK coast this year than there were six years ago, according to new research.

In breaking news (which shocks absolutely no one), @WWAttribution has found that human-caused climate change made this year's record-breaking 🇨🇦 wildfire season--by no means over--at least 7x more likely & doubled the risk of the most intense wildfires. https://t.co/BgvfdKKk3g

The grass is always #greenwashing when we make it out of plastic.

Let's stop creating our problems out of plastic and start solving them.

Taking #ClimateAction isn't just about planting trees and recycling.
We need to tackle the #ClimateCrisis now to prevent "mass extinction".
Join us in putting humanity's future first.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

"Dear friends, scientifically, this is not a #ClimateCrisis. We are now facing something deeper. Mass extinction. Air pollution. Undermining ecosystem functions. Really putting humanity’s future at risk. This is a #PlanetaryCrisis."

Yet again no mention of #ClimateChange.
Ignoring #globalwarming won't stop temperatures rising even higher than this.

#heatwave #ClimateEmergency

[Met Office @metoffice]

Why are many areas of the Northern Hemisphere experiencing a #heatwave?

📈 Atmospheric conditions are allowing persistent strong areas of high pressure to become established. These intensify the heat and without a change in the jet stream, can persist for weeks
