✨Just out: our @CarbonBrief summary of what #COP29 means for food, land and nature.

Carbon markets, deforestation, the Rio Trio, Indigenous rights, methane, greenwashing, new NDCs, trade…we’ve got you covered.

@fossilforager They are all gorgeous! What is the flower in the top right one?
How fast is shipping (through your website or etsy)? Just checking if they can arrive before I leave for a trip :)

Libraries do what people think the church does.

@GlobalEcoGuy It would be very interesting to include insects as an alternative source of protein to replace some of the animal agriculture - and the financial and ecological benefits this could have

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

Has capitalism left it too late to avoid hellish 1.75/2.25°C of global warming and rising?

Yes.

Can we adapt?

No.

Has the scientific community issued major consensus reports indicating political-economic systems changes are mandatory?

Yes.

Will journalists reveal this?

No.

My biggest fear about CO₂ removal (CDR) isn't that someone will try to deploy it at scale now (who will pay trillions of dollars for that?) but that voters and decision-makers will think we have magical solutions and don't need to decarbonize ASAP.

#AbortoLegalParaTodoMexico ha sido una lucha muy larga pero por fín en todo México se reconoce el derecho de las mujeres* a decidir. Una alegría muy grande.

Friendly reminder, that we are all closer to being climate refugees than billionaires.

Here's the brilliant team Climate Policy Radar, who's behind https://t.co/Acp9Mf396f and https://t.co/oMzq5THRk1 (where you can also find national laws and policies, as well as international commitments...).

Unless all your CO₂ emissions are from land use change and deforestation, you're not going to get to net zero by planting trees.

@WeirdMedieval made me think of the last episode of Betwixt the Sheets with @k8_lister and @duxBritanniarum

[WWF Oceans 🌊 @WWFLeadOceans]

What's at stake if #deepseamining goes ahead?
🌡️ The climate.
🐙 Undiscovered species.
🤝 Cooperation.
🎣 Food security.

We don't need it & we don't want it.

If you want to measure global warming, measure where the warming goes: the oceans were the hottest ever recorded in 2022

@daisydunnesci @CarbonBrief I'd like to see more information about wetlands - both abaut their role as carbon sink that has great mitigation potential, and about the effects of global warming on them.

[Catalina Munera Rey @cat_munera]

De acuerdo, y aplica 10x para #manglares. La restauración requiere entender el ecosistema a fondo y recuperar todos los #serviciosecosistemicos.
La #reforestación puede ser exitosa si es un componente de la #restauración

[Pilar A. Gómez-Ruiz 🦋✨ @biopili]

Y una vez más, reforestación no debe usarse cómo un sinónimo de restauración 😐

The future of social impact is community, not philanthropy.

[High Seas Alliance @HighSeasAllianc]

Great news from Montreal! Now, to achieve 30% protection of the ocean will also require the completion of the #HighSeasTreaty. “States must bring this wave of action to completing a robust and strong treaty at #IGC5 in February.” https://t.co/AeYNW9JE3u #COP15 #30x30

Cop15 essential reading: seven books that explain the biodiversity crisis https://t.co/Q6cVrK7A1b

[Lewis Pugh @LewisPugh]

It’s been a busy day at #COP27! But one thing was clear:

We cannot tackle the Climate Crisis without protecting our oceans.

We cannot conserve #biodiversity without protecting our oceans.

We cannot build a healthier, more sustainable future without protecting our oceans 🌊💙
