#climate review of 2023. Heavy reading. Warming is 'off the charts', and that's scary by itself. The 10 past years have been the 10 hottest years ever recorded. Last year we arrived at an average warming of between 1.35C to 1.56C, depending methodologies. Independent of those,

The 2024 sustainability preview by the World Resources Institute (WRI, an NGO heavyweight with a global team of 2000) is high level yet worth the 50 minutes. Here are my key take-outs and add ons: * 2024 will be the century's thus far most important year in terms of elections. And

This is indeed not good. And there surely is more to come on this front. Better monitoring tech and methodologies will reveal many inconvenient truths…

Important. #agriculture matters. For #climate, #biodiversity, and more.

Yep, it's not enough. And it's not going to be enough until the incentives are right for all energy market participants. #emissionpricing #stopsubsidisingfossils bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

In the wake of the #climatecrisis, worrying about the disruption caused by dwindling oil demand is like fretting over the rearrangement of deck chairs on the Titanic as it steers into the iceberg. We must get #ghgemissions down, no matter what. #ASAP economist.com/leaders/2024/0…

Es war ein grosser Fehler die Volksinitiative 'Für eine Schweiz ohne synthetische Pestizide' im Juni 2021 abzulehnen. Auch wenn sich die Bauern in ihren luftdichten Traktor-Häuschen heute besser schützen können - die Natur um sie herum kann es nicht. infosperber.ch/gesundheit/par…

It's high time to stop this #ghgemission madness. Good job of visualising their historic development WRI Climate. Missing are consumption based emissions. In some countries, these are highly significant - and the world over, they are key for putting the right policies in place.

Great to see World Economic Forum recognising the need for meaningful policy action to address #climatecrisis - as No. 1 of their 'Top 10 Actions' needed. Not so great to see the key action, #emissionpricing, lost in the midst of many others. Not all policies are created equal > #focus.

Key takeout: Business as usual. But we need to achieve more. Now is the time for systemic policy, and that can only be achieve with no BS negotiation. #emissionpricing #cbam #unfccc #reform carboncredits.com/key-takeaways-…

Water temperatures around Australia's Great Barrier Reef are the warmest they've been in over 400 years, according to new research. Scientists say the reef is facing "catastrophic damage." No time to waste. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables
