In June I tackled my first hike in Switzerland, crossing the Lötschenpass from Kandersteg to Ferden. I’m still in awe of the wildflower meadows, glaciers and dramatic rocky summits

#BREAKING: A groundbreaking global deal just landed to cut emissions from ships.

It’s a big step, but our experts warn it’s not moving fast enough to tackle the climate crisis. #IMO #ClimateAction

[WWF @WWF]

🚨 #BREAKING! Code red for nature: Species population numbers have plunged by 73% on average since 1970.

Ecosystems are near collapse & we're close to tipping points leading to irreversible impacts. URGENT action is needed.

🗣RT to call on leaders to #ActForOurPlanet. #LPR2024

[WWF Climate and Energy @climateWWF]

Our planet is breaking too many climate records. We must rally our teams this year to ensure we get on track for a future of no more than 1.5C warming. #ChangeClimateChange

The UN Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders called yesterday “a dark day for peaceful environmental protest.”

A whole year of record breaking ocean temperatures.

This warmth has significant effects on ocean ecosystems. A large fraction of the world’s human population rely on protein from the ocean to live. Disruption to life in the ocean does affect us all.
