The growth of this conference is awe-inspiring! We're thankful for our incredible community of researchers, clinicians and scientists who made the trip to Portugal. But more importantly, for the work they're doing. Reasons for hope are on the horizon! #CureHHT

Climate action isn’t about individual sacrifice. That’s a lie you’ve been told. It’s the job of governments to make climate-safe choices the easiest, most convenient choices to make. Climate action is about changing the world together, not changing our lifestyles alone. 1/

#BREAKING: Germany announces it is increasing its international biodiversity funding to €1.5 billion per year.

All countries must put nature at the top of their agendas, for the benefit of all people and the planet. #NaturePositive #ForNature #UNGA

My epic @thewalrus feature comparing the best & worst climate performances among the world’s richest nations (UK in 1st place, Canada in last) is now out: https://t.co/ovUkC7CQ0d

For all those Canadians that feel the unease of climate dread, this feature is for you.

A 🧵

[Anne Casselman @AnneCasselman]

There are many whose insights proved invaluable behind the scenes (support journalism so magazines can run higher word counts! 😉). On that front my gratitude to @LindaDuncanAB @ElizabethMay @caithseacoast @trevortombe @KenBoessenkool @jp_paulc @taylorbachrach

[Julie Gelfand @gelfj]

Fabulous news @mihm_chris !!! Finally! I hope our INTOSAI friends take note and follow suit!

[outta here @mihm_chris]

Excellent 🧵 from the always spot on @IISD_SDGs. Among other things, these changes appear to make it easier for the US federal govt budget process to consider the benefits of #climate adaptation and resilience investments in the budget. @sredburn1 has written about this.

[Anne Casselman @AnneCasselman]

Such an honour to give @SenRosaGalvez THE last word in my epic feature that pulls the curtain back on the inner workings of the best (UK) and worst (Canada) performances in the G7 when it comes to ghg emissions reductions. What is the UK’s secret sauce & why are we failing??

The Scott Islands marine National Wildlife Area was designated in 2018, but the federal government has yet to revoke offshore oil and gas exploration permits in the #MPA.

@DavidSuzukiFDN and @WWFCanada are suing to prevent drilling off B.C.’s coast.
