The #UN shipping agency is on the cusp of introducing binding regulations to phase out fossil fuel use in global #shipping — with the world’s first-ever global #emissions levy on the table.

"It would be an absolute game-changer."

This would be absolutely incredible... but my first though with anything good these days is: "Now watch the #US and #Russia stand against it and kill this great thing for humanity"

CNBCWorld's first-ever global emissions tax is on the table at crunch shipping talksAlthough far from a foregone conclusion, a robust pricing mechanism in the shipping sector would be considered one of the climate deals of the decade.

The World surpasses 40% clean electricity with Europe leading as a 'solar superpower'.

The world generated more than 40% of its electricity from low-carbon sources in 2024, for the EU it's 71%.

Solar energy is soaring in a targeted race to build an entirely clean electricity system. Solar in the EU almost doubled in the three years to 2024 to account for 11% of electricity.

Losing forest carbon stocks could put climate goals out of reach

“Delaying action leads to disproportionately higher costs,” explains Michael Windisch, the study’s lead author and PIK guest scientist. “Right now, our climate strategies bet on forests not only remaining intact, but even expanding,” Windisch says. “However, with escalating #wildfires like in #California, and continued #deforestation in the #Amazon, that’s a gamble. #ClimateChange itself puts forests’ immense carbon stores at risk.”

According to the study, postponing action to reduce #emissions and to protect and monitor #forests could jeopardise #climate targets. “We must act immediately to safeguard the carbon stored in forests,” Windisch emphasises. “Otherwise, compensating for potential forest carbon losses through steeper emissions cuts in key emission sectors like #energy, #industry and #transport will become increasingly expensive and possibly unattainable.”

Forests under pressure: Rising temperatures, wildfires and deforestation threaten the stability of natural carbon sinks. Delaying forest protection efforts could drastically increase the costs of meeting climate targets. Photo: Unsplash / roya ann miller

"framework called “Three Zero”, referring to zero #carbon #emissions, zero #wealthconcentration & zero #unemployment.

Reduzir o consumo de carne diminui drasticamente as #emissões de CO2e. Se ainda não estás pronto para te tornares #vegan, podes começar por #comer de forma mais #consciente. A vida dos animais não nos pertence, e o #futuro também não.

Cutting meat cuts #emissions—every bite counts.
If you are not yet ready to become #vegan, you can start by #eating more #conscious. Animals lives aren’t ours to take, and neither is the #future.

Bar chart titled "Greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of food product." The chart shows the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide-equivalents (kg CO₂e), associated with producing 1 kilogram of various food products. The emissions are weighted by the warming potential of different gases over a 100-year timescale. From highest to lowest emissions: Beef (beef herd): 99.48 kg CO₂e Lamb & Mutton: 39.72 kg CO₂e Beef (dairy herd): 33.3 kg CO₂e Prawns (farmed): 26.87 kg CO₂e Cheese: 23.88 kg CO₂e Pig Meat: 12.31 kg CO₂e Poultry Meat: 9.87 kg CO₂e Eggs: 4.67 kg CO₂e Rice: 4.45 kg CO₂e Milk: 3.15 kg CO₂e Tomatoes: 2.09 kg CO₂e Maize: 1.7 kg CO₂e Wheat & Rye: 1.57 kg CO₂e Peas: 0.98 kg CO₂e Bananas: 0.86 kg CO₂e Potatoes: 0.46 kg CO₂e Nuts: 0.43 kg CO₂e Below the chart, explanatory notes define greenhouse gas emissions and carbon dioxide equivalents (CO₂e), noting how CO₂e values include other greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide, weighted by their global warming potential over 100 years.
