Young generations are severely threatened by climate change. This raises important issues of solidarity and fairness across generations. We need to demand policies that safeguard the future of current young generations. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Here at #COP28 ready to perform my duties as a UN-Habitat Youth advisor. The leaders,the polluters have to be pushed to the beam for #ClimateAction
Scientists for Future UK retweeted
This is everything that's wrong with these climate talks - rich world, self-proclaimed climate leaders like Norway tell the rest of world to slash emissions ... while expanding oil and gas production. #StopRosebank
🚨BREAKING: Activist confronts Norway’s Minister co-leading #COP28 negotiations on emissions phase-out, on climate hypocrisy
Rich countries like Norway are telling other countries to lower their emissions while continuing to rake in cash from oil & gas expansion across the world

What do children want world leaders to do about the climate crisis?
We asked children from around the world to tell us. This is what they said.
#COP28 we hope you are listening! You need to put #KidsFirst! ❤️

Fossil fuel industry has lied, weakened & sabotaged climate action for decades.
Today, @EU_Commission wants to name an ex Shell employee to lead EU's climate agenda. See the problem?

All #PlanetaryBoundaries mapped out, six of nine crossed: For the first time, a team of scientists is able to provide a full picture of planetary resilience. Pressure in all those boundary processes is increasing, newly published research shows: pik-potsdam.de/en/news/lates…
ALT Six of nine planetary boundaries are currently transgressed. The length of the wedges symbolizes what the current state of the corresponding process is, in relation to the distance from the planetary boundary (end of the green area) and the Holocene baseline (origin of the diagram). The color symbolizes the risks associated with each. For example, a wedge may be very long because the current state is already very far from the planetary boundary and the Holocene. But it may still not be purple, because that is not yet associated with very high risks in this particular case. In other cases already a "small" overshoot (short wedge) results in a big risk: Then the color further inside already changes to purple.

BREAKING: 850+ Academics & Notables Call For Plant-Based Universities
An open letter signed by the likes of @ChrisGPackham has just been released. The letter is calling on universities to transition to 100% plant-based catering in order to tackle the climate and nature crises.

Pollution from cars and vans costs £6 billion per year in health damages.
Swapping 1 in 4 car journeys in urban areas for walking or cycling could save over £1.1 billion in health damage costs per year.
Switching 1 million cars from diesel to electric would save more than £360 million per year in health costs from local air pollution.
Perhaps someone could send @rishisunak a copy of @globalactplan’s report? ox.ac.uk/news/2018-06-06-pol… #airpollution #ULEZ #ULEZexpansion
Talking about freedom, sat in Margaret Thatcher’s old Rover.
Earlier I spoke to @Telegraph about how important cars are for families to live their lives. It’s something anti-motorist Labour just don’t seem to get.
And it’s why I’m reviewing anti-car schemes across the country.

Classic climate change denier tactics - trying to deflect attention away from all the pollution the UK has caused and blame it on China.
Historic cumulative emissions per capita shows exactly who has caused climate change - UK is 5th - so lots of damage to undo!

The government is betraying our children & future generations & we are furious.
