These findings were highlighted by Secretary-General @antonioguterres in his #UNGA79 opening speech to world leaders, along with a call to stop rewarding fossil fuel polluters to wreck our planet. #PollutersMustPay un.org/sg/en/content/sg/stat…

The report also spells out the 2035 emissions reduction targets different countries could consider in their new #NDCs due next year. Aligning national energy strategies — incl. fossil fuel production & consumption targets — with climate goal will be crucial for policy coherence.

Lastly, I want to give a special shout-out to all our amazing reviewers, who really went above and beyond to provide us with invaluable feedback for this brief. I truly hope it will be a useful resource for the climate community, and another rallying call-to-action. #PIFLM53

As the Secretary-General said, “Rising seas are a crisis entirely of humanity’s making. The world must act, and answer the SOS before it is too late.” We have precious little time left to keep 1.5°C alive. Photo credit: @kiaraworth

This technical brief summarizes the latest science on sea-level rise and its present-day and projected impacts — including coastal flooding — at a global and regional level, with a focus on major coastal cities in the G20 and on the Pacific Small Island Developing States.

Today in Tonga, UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres launched "Surging Seas in a Warming World" — a special technical brief on sea-level rise — alongside the WMO's State of the Climate 2023 in the SW Pacific report, at #PIFLM53. un.org/climatechange/reports…

Always so much fun to meet online climate trailblazers in person! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to @DoctorVive share her new book (and life!) today alongside @eroston. Can’t wait to read The Language of Climate Politics 🙌 …and I’m pretty chuffed to be quoted, thank you! 😊🙏🏼

"The climate crisis is a crisis of political will. Climate diplomacy is taking place against a backdrop of geopolitical divisions, a leadership void, and mistrust between developed & developing countries." Hard-hitting speech by @SelwinHart at #LCAW2024 youtube.com/watch?v=Wp5QUjqS…

h/t @mlaz_sei @harrovanasselt for flagging!

Makes my heart full to see our @UNEP #ProductionGap report series cited throughout this groundbreaking decision 🙌

If you know me well, you'll know the above passage is most near and dear to my heart. But, here are some of my other favourites, though really there are too many to choose from! ...What's yours? 😊 un.org/sg/en/content/sg/spee…

The Secretary-General's landmark call for a global fossil fuel ad ban rightfully grabbed the headlines, but ICYMI, he laid out many other important asks too (33 in total, in fact) — including what 1.5C-alignment means for coal, oil, and gas reduction targets... #FFPO

It is truly a privilege and an honour to work for a world leader who is not afraid to go where science and justice demand, no matter how lonely that place might be. Thank you, Secretary-General @antonioguterres 🤍🙏 #MomentOfTruth #WorldEnvironmentDay‌2024

This incredibly thought-provoking and well-written paper by @clift_ben & @CarolineKuzemko made my head 🤯🤯🤯 Must-read for anyone working on climate #mitigation and energy transition policies and #IAM modelling! h/t @DrSimEvans @AOlhoff doi.org/10.1080/13563467.202…

Two must-read articles by @ColinJCarlson: “Health impacts from #climatechange have been apparent for at least 20 years, but the climate crisis is still not treated like other global #publichealth emergencies.” nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

When I was a grad student I had a pipe dream about creating a museum exhibit on the health impacts of fossil fuels. So, imagine my delight at discovering NYC's @ClimateMuseum & their current exhibit on fossil fuel phase-out and #climatejustice! Science x Art x Storytelling FTW!
