Overshooting 1.5°C is not a reason to give up. It’s a reason to move faster. At the climate summit #COP31, Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, WWF Global Climate and Energy Lead and former CoP20 President, sets out what governments must deliver: faster emissions cuts, a shift away from fossil fuels, an end to deforestation, and greater support for people and communities on the frontlines of climate change. Every fraction of a degree matters. We know what needs to happen. Now it's time to turn promises into action for people and nature. #ClimateAction

Why are Asian elephants held captive on 1.5 acres of Waikiki? In this op-ed, Harvard profs Kristen Stilt & Randall Akee argue there’s no good reason & it's time the HI Supreme Court asks the city of #Honolulu: By what right do you hold these living beings? bit.ly/4A76SjE

🐘 At just two years old, Ganga was shipped from India to Europe. Nearly 50 years later, she has spent much of her life alone. Elephants thrive on family, friendship & lifelong social bonds. Ganga's story shows why we need a future with #NoElephantAlone. bit.ly/4yH9pQl

Whales & dolphins belong in the ocean, not tanks.🐋 Born Free supports @MoveTheWorld's #NoTanksTUI campaign, which this week saw campaigners gather outside TUI HQ in Hanover, calling on the travel giant to stop promoting & selling tickets to captive whale and dolphin facilities.
