At a time of worsening climate chaos, early warning systems save lives & livelihoods on a massive scale.

A @UN initiative is underway to ensure that early warning systems are available to everyone, everywhere, by 2027.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Every fraction of a degree matters.

Every day matters.

Limiting global temperature rise is still possible, but only through concrete, urgent #ClimateAction.

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

LOUD AND CLEAR.

The planet is boiling 🔥 and the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable.

It’s time to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for its crimes against people and nature.

It seems many people don’t understand the water crisis, unless directly affected. Most cities in the world are in dire straits, yet governments are doing little to stop excessive water consumption or educate the public,

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The climate crisis is also a water crisis - but all of us can be part of the solution.

Ahead of next week’s UN #WaterAction conference, find out how you can #ActNow for our planet and our future.

@CalltoActivism I really doubt any of them would be able to survive if they left the USA. Most have probably never ever travelled.

Canada continues to be very expensive for car insurance, mobile phones and groceries….I know geography plays a part, but much more can be done to bring prices down. Increased competition would certainly help https://t.co/0H5gWVyySt
