ACT -A platform to encourage climate action through accessible information. For everyone, everywhere to understand and act. A project by FEU-US. #IActonClimate
There were 20 “billion-dollar” weather and climate disasters tracked by the U.S. government last year — a collection of calamities that cost the nation an estimated $145 billion and killed nearly 700 people. https://t.co/XWyKZIImSq
"Current net zero policies will not keep warming to within 1.5°C because they were never intended to. They were and still are driven by a need to protect business as usual, not the climate": https://t.co/dS1XnBrlpr

Breaking News: President Biden will commit the U.S. to cutting emissions in half by 2030 during a virtual climate summit with 40 world leaders. https://t.co/eP6bitYHuw
70% of all national climate pledges submitted to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change are incompatible with the Paris Agreement's most 1.5°C ambitious goal
So stellte etwa die Umweltorganisation FEU-US (@ClimateTogether) 2019 in einem Gutachten fest, dass 70% aller von den Vertragsstaaten der UN-Klimarahmenkonvention eingereichten nationalen Klimaschutzpläne nicht mit der 1,5°C-Ambition des Klimaabkommens von Paris vereinbar sind.
After 2 weeks of discussions at #COP25, delegates from 200 nations only agreed on the “urgent need” for deeper cuts to greenhouse gases, watering down promises made years ago

Five things we've learned from Madrid talks:
#1 - Leadership is REALLY important
Solving #climatechange requires leadership.
It also requires the collective effort of all of us: https://t.co/YXjfVTfqoZ
“Well I am telling you there is hope. I have seen it.
But it does not come from governments or corporations.
It comes from the people.”
Here’s a small part from my speech today at the #cop25 in Madrid.
Pope Francis to #COP25: “The current commitments made by States to mitigate and adapt to climate change are far from those actually needed to achieve the goals set by the #ParisAgreement”.
The Pope is asking leaders for "honesty, responsibility and courage" on #ClimateChange
The more we delay #ClimateAction, the greater the price we pay in the form of devastating impacts to communities & our common home.

Climate change is now making seasonal rains more intense and less predictable: @nytclimate
More frequent and intense impacts of #ClimateChange like this one will continue to happen as long as decisive global action to reduce emissions continues to be postponed #EmissionsGap
Climate change is now messing with the monsoon, making seasonal rains more intense and less predictable. Worse, decades of short-sighted government policies are leaving millions of Indians defenseless in the age of climate disruptions–especially the poor.

Never believe that you're too small to make a difference.
This farmer planted one tree every day for 37 years and transformed a chopped down barren land in Majuli Island, India to a wildlife paradise.
We have the solutions, implement them.

����𝗼𝘂𝗿 choice can have an impact to slow #climatechange
Using energy more efficiently just requires smarter choices
#energyefficiency can reduce CO2 emissions by 40%: https://t.co/YXjfVTfqoZ
Are individual choices enough to combat the climate crisis? Atmospheric scientist and climate expert @KHayhoe says "there's a false debate between do we need individual action... or do we need system-wide change? My answer to that is YES - we need it all."
