The decline in US cancer deaths is in part one of the great public health stories of modern times @PeterDiamandis

[Urban Cycling Institute 🚲  @fietsprofessor]

'Moss walls' or 'Liquid Trees' signal your city's ambition to solve air pollution without actually doing something effective.

But don't worry. One simple change of placement can make all the difference!

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

The Synthesis Report is out! 👉 https://t.co/zAMzd12lR7

#Globalwarming of 1.1°C has resulted in more frequent & more intense extreme weather events that have caused dangerous impacts on nature & people worldwide.

Every increment of warming results in rapidly escalating hazards.

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

With every increment of warming:

🔴The risks and related losses & damages from #ClimateChange escalate.
🔴Adaptation options are becoming more constrained & less effective.

Seit Wochenende lebt die CH für 2023 auf Pump: unser ökol. Fussabdruck ist 4.4x so gross wie er sein dürfte. Seit 50 Jahren etwa konstant, und höher pro Kopf als derjenige der USA, China und der Erde.
Nicht nachhaltig, egal wie man das genau definiert.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

If average global temperatures increased by 2°C, coral reefs would almost completely disappear.

But it is still possible to limit global warming to 1.5°C with rapid & deep emissions reductions.

We must #ActNow to take #ClimateAction & protect our future.

"Unless humanity kicks its addiction to fossil fuels now, critical climate tipping points will crush the human rights of generations to come. "

At #HRC52, @antonioguterres urges the world to end the addition to fossils fuels for the sake of future generations.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Fossil fuel expansion, fueled by trillions in taxpayer-funded subsidies, is absurd.

Young people are leading the way in the fight against the climate crisis with their ideas & actions.

My message to them:

Keep raising your voices & pushing leaders to do the right thing.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

1 million species are on the brink of extinction due to human activity.

We have the tools & knowledge to end this war on nature.

On #WorldWildlifeDay & every day, let's do our part to preserve natural habitats & build a thriving future for all living beings.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

We need a renewables revolution, not a self-destructive fossil fuel resurgence.

My message to fossil fuel producers and their enablers.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

No more excuses.

No more greenwashing.

No more bottomless greed of the fossil fuel industry and its enablers.

2023 must be a year of game-changing #ClimateAction.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

With 339 million people in need of humanitarian relief - an increase by almost a quarter compared to 2022, WHO is launching its 2023 health emergency appeal for USD2.54 billion to provide assistance to people around the world facing health emergencies

@ChristineLoriol @Tanja0521 @QE_Wuerfeli @MMeschenmoser Tessiner “Kassensturz” (Patti Chiari) hat letztes Jahr mit mir was in einer Schule gemacht https://t.co/J35sls8d37’aria-14895594.html

Mehrmals pro Jahr eine Erkältung haben, ist nicht “unser Schicksal”, sondern Folge kontaminierter Innenluft. Etwas, was vermeidbar wäre.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The past eight years were the warmest on record globally.

We can’t relinquish our future to inaction.

We need urgent, large-scale & systemic #ClimateAction now.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I'm very frustrated that global leaders are still not giving the climate emergency the action and investment it requires.

Words are not enough.

Without #ClimateAction, climate catastrophe is coming for all of us.

[Reto Knutti @Knutti_ETH]

I grew up here in #Gstaad and learned skiing on this slope in the 70s. Back then scientists had evidence that fossil fuel causes warming. This is Jan 1, 2023.

Climate science is my profession, but this is where it gets personal.
When do we understand that we need to change?
