July has already seen:
The hottest three-week period ever recorded.
The three hottest days on record.
The highest-ever ocean temperatures for this time of year.
It is still possible to avoid the very worst of climate change, but only with dramatic, immediate #ClimateAction.
Progress on the #GlobalGoals is weak & insufficient.
Halfway to the 2030 deadline, I urge every country to make 2023 count.
Backsliding is not inevitable. Change is possible.
Ugandan activist @vanessa_vash calls out media double standards on the climate crisis and demands climate reparations.
Africa is being hit by some of the worst effects of the climate emergency, yet the continent is responsible for less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
The climate crisis demands honesty.
We know what to do, when to do it, and why.
But for too long we have looked the other way.
We must act on science, facts and truth.
We must #ActNow.
#ActOnClimate
Gender-based discrimination harms everyone – women, girls, men, and boys.
Investing in women uplifts all people, communities, and countries.
On #WorldPopulationDay and every day, let's stand with women and girls fighting for their rights.
Sir David Attenborough on #ClimateCrisis
"It may sound frightening, but the scientific evidence is that if we have not taken dramatic action within the next decade, we could face irreversible damage to the natural world & the collapse of our societies"

Migration & climate have always been connected, but environmental migration is becoming an even more stark reality for millions of people around the globe.
A liveable future for all is still possible, but we must take urgent #ClimateAction now.
Children continue to be disproportionately affected by conflict that has nothing to do with them.
Preventing violations against children affected by war & conflict has never been more pertinent or urgent. https://t.co/LqHg80x561
Die #Klimakrise ist eine Kinderrechtskrise. Sie zeigt sich im Leben von Kindern als alltägliche Bedrohung ihrer Rechte: als Gesundheits- und Ernährungskrise, Bildungskrise, Sicherheitskrise. Nichts gegen die Klimakrise zu unternehmen, wäre eine Verletzung der #Kinderrechte!

I urge all financial institutions to present public, credible & detailed plans to transition their funding from fossil fuels to clean energy.
To those institutions already doing this shift I say:
Do not relent in the face of attacks on progress.
You are doing the right thing.
This Desertification & Drought Day, I urge all governments to eliminate legal barriers to women owning land & to involve them in policymaking.
Support women & girls to play their part in protecting our most precious resource.
And together, let’s stop land degradation by 2030.
“Species are like a house of cards. You can’t just take one card out of the deck and not expect the deck to crumble.”

Happy to be in 🇧🇷 with @ABaerbock working with the impressive @MarinaSilva & team. Visiting #Belém enabled us to meet these four inspiring women who are preserving the forest while selling sustainable products. Preserving trees together with communities is clearly the way to go.
Humanity counts on the ocean.
But can the ocean count on us?
This World Oceans Day, let’s keep pushing for action.
Today and every day, let’s put the ocean first.
Die globale Plastikvermüllung hat katastrophale Ausmaße angenommen. Deutschland ist EU-Spitzenreiter: Jedes Jahr 240kg Müll pro Kopf. Wir brauchen dringend ein verbindliches internationales Abkommen, mit dem wir der Plastikflut Herr werden. Unser Planet ist keine Müllhalde!
Ich kann es nicht anders sagen, aber diese Aussage der FDP #bpt23 zu #Efuels grenzt schon an Fake News. Und manche Medien berichten darüber vermeintlich neutral und begehen damit den alten "false balance" Fehler aus der Klimawandel-Dabatte, nur jetzt bezogen auf Technologien 1/2
