Hey Canadians: Wondering what a Climate Emergency looks like?

[Greenhouse Communications (inactive) @GreenhouseComms]

Climate Reframe – a community of people of colour in the UK climate movement – recently ventured into the Sussex countryside to hear the nightingale's song 🐦‍⬛

One member of our team, Sunita, describes this magical experience and the importance of access to nature 🔽

[Gareth Redmond-King (@gredmondking.bsky.social) @gredmond76]

Remember these companies have known all this for a long-time - their climate science decades ago was in line with forecasts and models today. They just chose to hide it and lobby against climate action, all in the interests of making as much money as possible, regardless.

Adding these books to my TBR! #WorldBookDay2023

[Kate Raworth @KateRaworth]

It's World Book Day and almost International Women's Day - so I can't resist a shout out to many of the amazing thinkers, doers & changemakers who inspire me every day, and who just happen to be women. #WorldBookDay #IWD23

This is why climate action needs to be targeted at the right people - and why we need to look at the inequalities built in our society because not everyone is responsible

[Ayesha Tandon @AyeshaTandon]

1% of people were responsible for almost a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions over 1990-2019

Eye-opening stats in this piece on emissions inequality over the past 3 decades.

Pakistan is still within its fair share of the safe planetary boundary for CO2 emissions. The global North countries, as a group, have overshot the boundary several times over, driving climate breakdown.

@ecjones Also giving people the tools to reach out to their energy companies to get on a different payment plan as well is an option

[Simeran Bachra (she/her) @simeran_]

@ecjones I think considering the knock on effects for things like of food, travel + other essentials. Knowing energy bills are going to rise can we help with public transport options? Food vouchers? Clothing swaps? Child care support if people need to work extra hours. Just a few ideas!

.@FehintiBalogun's movie Can I Live is one of the most powerful movie I have ever seen. Below is a little excerpt to put into persepctive what is going in the UK right now.

[Fehinti Balogun @FehintiBalogun]

Here’s a little video explaining what’s happening at the moment.
If you didn’t know a four day heat warning has come into affect In the uk. And with this Being coldest summer we will likely ever have in our lifetime , the future is looking scary .

[Simeran Bachra (she/her) @simeran_]

It is getting clearer by the day how climate change and health are linked. New research published in @NatureClimate shows that 58% of infectious diseases confronted by humanity worldwide have been at some point aggravated by climatic hazards.

Environmentalism without class struggle is using paper straws while the rich take 9 minute flights in their private jets.

[Anthesis @anthesis_group]
