Science says that need to halve emissions globally by 2030 to safeguard life & as a wealthy developed country 🇦🇺 needs to do more. Morrisons inadequate targets & lies are damaging our reputation & it will impact our societies prosperity & well-being. 🗣💚🌍

France recorded a high of 44.6°C today.

That’s so far beyond anything seen in the historical record, a 4.2 sigma deviation from the norm that it gives a return period of 87 thousand years.

It’s really difficult to convey just how utterly extreme this is.

The World Health Organization has urged leaders to prioritize climate action amid this week's heat wave in Europe. Follow live updates. https://t.co/ojSxGsvItm

Today, the UK recorded its hottest June day since records began

Definitely don't look up

[Met Office @metoffice]

Provisionally, today is now the warmest June day on record in the UK, with 35.8 °C recorded at Wiggonholt, West Sussex

The Ebola outbreak in #DRCongo has crossed into Uganda, raising concerns about further spread across the region.

A $4 million allocation from the UN’s Global Emergency Fund CERF will help Uganda detect, prevent and respond to cross-border Ebola cases.

Learn more.

This is horrendous.

It used to be rare for France to reach 40°C so to be recording mid-40’s in June is beyond extreme.

Climate change has made events like this over 5x more likely.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

We cannot outrun climate change. Its impacts are already here – reshaping development, stability & security.

We must respond accordingly

Adaptation is not charity. It is essential. It saves lives, safeguards communities & holds societies together.

How good this Australia? Lets export more emissions in the form of coal and gas… #ShameOnUs #EveryTonneOfCO2Matters

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

The number of locations recording 40°C+ (104°F) across France today is simply extraordinary.

This comes after the hottest night in France's history, where many locations did not get below 25°C (77°F).

"Solar is moving fast. Really fast. Batteries are moving faster."

Solar is creating the fastest global shift in electricity generation in history!

Battery deployment is often firming solar or wind, thereby boosting the grid shares of solar and wind.

The devastation in Venezuela following a powerful "doublet" earthquake is almost unimaginable. Tens of thousands of people are feared dead.

I’m praying for the people in Venezuela affected by the earthquakes.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Humanitarians know the risks. But accepting risk is not accepting being attacked.

Two more aid workers killed in Ukraine while serving others.

Civilians, including aid workers, must be protected. International humanitarian law must be respected.

BREAKING: Parliament votes for the UK's seventh carbon budget, targeting an 87% cut in emissions by 2040

Even at full speed, we cannot outrun climate change.

Adaptation is essential."

We have just witnessed France’s hottest day in recorded history. The severity of this heatwave is truly hard to comprehend. Over 50 millions people will be under red-level extreme heat warnings tomorrow. Sadly, what’s going on there is a foreshadowing of our future.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

#Ebola update: more than 1000 confirmed cases have been reported in #DRC, including 254 deaths. 100 patients have recovered so far, which shows that for many, the virus can be stopped with timely health care.

In the past month, @WHO, @AfricaCDC and partners have supported @MinSanteRDC to increase the number of Ebola Treatment Centres and lab and surveillance capacities, to train more health workers on clinical care and infection prevention and control, and to improve the understanding and involvement of communities.

But much more is needed: more treatment centres, more trained health and care workers, more testing, more teams from within communities supporting communities.

We need sustained and safe access to reach all affected people.

We need continued solidarity from international community to end this outbreak.

And ultimately, we need peace for the people of DRC.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The 8 largest fossil fuel companies pocketed an extra $6.5 billion in the first quarter of 2026.

I urge governments to tax these windfall profits & use the revenue to support vulnerable families & communities, and accelerate the shift to clean, affordable energy.

Our world as it approaches 1.5C above preindustrial temperatures.

Our children face futures of 4C.

I’ve just arrived in London where a severe heatwave is projected with all its dramatic consequences

It's become increasingly evident that climate change is no longer a distant threat. We feel its effects now.

My message at London #ClimateAction Week: More than ever we must accelerate the transition to clean energy.
