Despite significant investments in tree planting for carbon sequestration, livelihoods, and biodiversity conservation, it's often poorly executed.

Social factors, such as the needs of local communities, are not consistently prioritized. #TreesPeoplePlanet

This is appalling.

The recolonization of Africa through carbon markets is underway.

Company from UAE, COP28 host & major fossil fuel producer, buying up 10% of Liberia so it can continue to pollute.

As the conflict in Sudan is still ongoing, parts of the country have now been impacted by heavy rains affecting the most vulnerable.

We @ifrc are calling on the global community to step up support for the millions impacted by the massive humanitarian needs in Sudan.

The latest outlook on El Niño gives a >95% chance that it will continue through winter, with a ~66% that it peaks in strength as a “strong” El Niño event.

Carbon credits offer the potential to fight #ClimateChange & inequality but without proper evaluation, they can impact those who have contributed least to the climate crisis.

🌧️ With heavy rainfall forecast over eastern and western parts of #SouthSudan, western #Ethiopia, south-eastern #Sudan, and parts of central Kenya in the coming weeks. There is a likelihood of flash floods in these areas. Close monitoring of the situation is highly recommended.

[World Meteorological Organization @WMO]

The odds of at least one of the next 5 years temporarily reaching the #ParisAgreement threshold of 1.5°C have increased to 50:50. In 2015 the chance was zero.

Very likely (93%) that one year from 2022-2026 will be warmest on record: WMO and @metoffice update.
