More than anything #climate and #biodiversity crises make me angry. As few people are largely responsible, while all pay the price, mostly those least responsible. https://t.co/RiaMYQW0w3

Our latest ENSO blog post is out! Weak La Niña conditions continued in January, but a transition to ENSO-neutral in the near future is likely. https://t.co/KyovfGwkgp

[Copernicus ECMWF @CopernicusECMWF]

January 2025 was the warmest January ever recorded. Last month was 1.75°C above the pre-industrial level and 0.79°C above the 1991-2020 average. The persistence of high temp. underscores significant climate trends.

#Overconsumption is a key driver of climate change, straining ecosystems, increasing waste and pollution, and fuelling inequality. 🚗🏭💨

Watch @dobura call for change. We must embrace circular economies & support policies that drive #sustainability.

Read our summary of the #WIO’s coral bleaching in 2024. Many thanks to the 30-plus contributors from around the region. 🪸🌊🪸

Tough year for WIO #coralreefs, with ~ 80% of them experiencing moderate to severe bleaching. Full report available here: https://t.co/GWyEkNcU4a

[GMES, and Africa @GMESAfrica]

Just opened in Cape Town! The 2nd GMES and Africa Continental Workshop for Services to Marine and Coastal areas
The workshop aims to promote inter-regional cooperation between consortia, capitalise on successful services, update on the progress of the GMES and Africa programme and consortia projects supported by the programme, and share experiences and ideas on thematic areas from an end-user perspective. It will also examine cross-fertilisation efforts and explore possible collaboration with other Earth Observation (EO) initiatives in Africa.
