Time is running out to protect the world’s most vulnerable people, who have contributed least to the #ClimateCrisis but are hit the hardest.
We must work together to fight climate change while protecting the most vulnerable against its increasingly severe impacts.
@MIT Energy Initiative's 'Future of Energy Storage' report indicates energy storage paired with renewable energy is key to achieving decarbonized electricity systems. Read more here: https://t.co/SnMnVYeD06

Plants play a key role in tackling the triple planetary crises of pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss.
It is critical to increase investment in nature-based solutions for the environment.

It is utterly absurd that a proposed solution to our current energy crisis is for governments to hand out even more money to fossil fuel polluters. 🤯
The Victorian Government has drawn the line, other states and territories should take note.
"We need to triple investments in renewables."
@UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres said renewable energy was “the peace plan of the 21st century” and called on fossil fuel finance to be abandoned wholesale. https://t.co/LdsMXKxZhl
What we must do immediately:
1) End the use of fossil fuels
2) Build massive amounts of solar & wind
3) Electrify everything
4) Conserve
5) Find solutions for the last hard stuff (planes, cement)
6) Stop cutting down trees.

Imagine being a law student in Vanuatu, looking at the horror of the climate crisis and deciding to take the issue to The Hague to change international law.
Yet another example of the Pacific punching so far above its weight in the climate fight.
