The pandemic shows we need to build back better. Why not start in our homes? #Consumer information tools can highlight #energy efficiency and carbon impact of #buildings encouraging #behaviour change to mitigate the sectors #climate impact. More info: https://t.co/2JenTXIxDN

Climate activism and soft policy approaches can lead to a behaviour change that is powerful enough to change long-lived social norms.

Stocktaking plenary at #COP25Madrid COP president Ms Carolina Schmidt urged negotiators to get to an agreement and to consider the eyes of the world are upon them. Consensus on Article 6 still pending.

Great audience to discuss carbon pricing regional developments and potential future governance today at #COP25Madrid My highlights go to the presentation on border carbon adjustments by @mmehling “BCAs are more likely to be implemented through EU ETS rather than tax.”

Protection of the Brazilian Amazon being discussed at the #COP25Madrid. “Protecting the Amazon is crucial for Brazil’s economy, global food security and climate mitigation at the same time” André Guimarães from @IPAM_Amazonia #brasilnacop

How can deforestation impinge on a country’s credit risk? Great piece by @NVJRobins1 @GRI_LSE drawing on Brazil's most recent example

Interesting collection of articles on how the fossil fuel industry is driving climate change, including one piece from @GeorgeMonbiot on how the illusion of consumer choices absolves these companies of responsibility

A good example of why we can't just take our understanding of low-carbon transitions from the OECD countries - fossil developmentalism in Asia

@PriscilaBRAlves @OxfordBSP @CUBS_Cambridge Thank you very much @PriscilaBRAlves and you too!

[Fernanda Gimenes @fer_gimenes]

In a time where Brazil’s science capacity has been threatened, it was such a heartwarming experience to see how much is still going on when it comes to Brazilian studies, and to have the opportunity to get feedback on my ongoing research! Thank you @OxfordBSP @CUBS_Cambridge

[Fernanda Gimenes @fer_gimenes]

At Oxbridge Conference on Brazilian Studies today Prof @AlexandreAntone , director of science @kewgardens, discussed facts & myths about #Amazonian biodiversity: Amazonian fires are not natural and the conversion of forests is the major threat to biodiversity #AmazonFires

Credible and transparent information is at the very first step of curbing carbon emissions. Come and check the new case study on how WWF Hong Kong provides information on its Low Carbon Manufacturing Programme.

[One Planet Network @10YFP]

Getting the right information is the first step to curb carbon emissions! @wwfhk provides manufacturers with tools to measure and benchmark carbon performance. They tested our Consumer Information-SCP's Guidelines for Providing Product Sustainability Info. https://t.co/guK48q6CQk

[One Planet Network @10YFP]

Global certification company, 'TÜV Rheinland' road-tested our Consumer Information programme's 'Guidelines' on their 'Green Product Mark' which was developed with @isostandards' 14024. The label is available on items such as household appliances & toys. https://t.co/zm4i5CT8oy
