Every second, an equivalent of 4 football fields of healthy land becomes degraded, adding up to a total of 100M hectares each year.

We welcome the European Court of Human Rights @ECHR_CEDH ruling in #KlimaSeniorinnen case v. #Switzerland affirming that States have human rights obligations to sufficiently mitigate #climate change. Ruling provides a basis for determined action & justice globally - @volker_turk

Come dicevo ieri sera su @OttoemezzoTW : tra il 2022 e il 2023 i prezzi sono aumentati del 15%, i salari del 6%. Un lavoratore italiano guadagna mediamente il 23% meno di un tedesco. Cosa si sta facendo contro la vera emergenza italiana: il lavoro povero?

Gennaio è stato l'OTTAVO mese di fila a essere il più caldo mai affrontato dall'umanità. Arriveremo a dodici e poi smetteremo di farci caso, come più o meno si smette di fare caso a tutto, la nostra interpretazione della metafora rana nel pentolino sta diventando così letterale.

🎉 Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! 🎉

This year's theme underscores how all aspects of human wellbeing are tied to the health of the world’s wetlands. It calls on each of us to value and protect our wetlands. Every wetland matters. Every effort counts.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Science tells us that limiting global heating to 1.5°C will be impossible without the phase out of fossil fuels.

This was also recognized by a growing & diverse coalition of countries at #COP28.

The era of fossil fuels must end – and it must end with justice & equity.

[Catherine Abreu @catabreu_]

In 8 years of attending climate talks, I have never felt so much like we're getting real about what matters. It's kind of blowing my mind.

Day 11 of #COP28, and the Arabic tradition of Majlis has Ministers talking straight about the realities of phasing out fossil fuels 🧵

[COP28 UAE @COP28_UAE]

Food, Agriculture and Water Day at COP28 hosted the first-ever COP ministerial dialogue on building water-resilient food systems, co-convened by the UAE and Brazil.

During the meeting, Ministers from more than 15 countries shared commitments to prioritize interlinked efforts on water and food.
