Despite high oil prices boosting export revenues, these are some of the headlines in today’s Russian papers: “Warnings of an economic crisis [in Russia] grow louder” and “A reduction in purchases by Russians is ringing alarm bells for the economy.” #ReadingRussia

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done.

Protect people and the planet.

The "surface mass balance year" 1 Sep 2022 to 31 Aug 2023 ended with an accumulated SMB of 397.8 Gt, about 50 Gt more than the median 1980-2023, i.e. rank 29 of 43 years with data. Note: this is NOT the TOTAL mass balance, which also takes into account calving of icebergs.

🇺🇦 Belgium strongly condemns the Russian attack on Ukraine. This is Europe’s darkest hour since the Second World War. We are in close contact with our allies in NATO & EU.

This Russian aggression is unnecessary and unprovoked. Our hearts and minds are with the people of Ukraine.
