TELL THE TRUTH In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. The climate and ecological crisis is already with us. We need immediate action to avoid unspeakable human suffering and irreversible damage to the natural world. #TellTheTruth #ExtinctionRebellion

Peace activists in the UK have been sentenced as terrorists. They were not charged or tried with terrorist offences and the jury was not informed that the defendants could be sentenced under terrorism laws. The judge ruled there was a ‘terrorism connection’ #PeaceNotWar #DefendTheRightToProtest

How is the #freshwater cycle being disrupted and what can be done about it? PIK scientist Yassmin Hesham explains the freshwater #PlanetaryBoundary in this new Planetary Boundaries Science lab video. youtube.com/watch?v=gIIXiGvh…

El Niño strikes as Bonn climate talks advance As wealthy countries debate targets and timelines at the ongoing June climate talks in Germany 🇩🇪, the world faces devastation from the event that could last until November, according to @WMO. Power Shift Africa Director @mohadow says the world must stop ‘‘treating every new climate record as just another headline’’ and instead aim for faster #emission cuts, investment in climate #adaptation, and support for #frontline countries and communities.

#Extinction A magical but fast-disappearing scene. An Ethiopian wolf, one of only about 440 left on Earth, feeding on the nectar from the flaming torches of Kniphofia foliosa, Bale Mountains, Ethiopia.

XR Rwanda is greening schools and inspiring young climate leaders. We established a seedbed where students can grow and access fruit tree seedlings to plant at their schools, restore nature, improve school spaces, and build climate resilience. Planting hope for a greener future.

The Coral Triangle, is the planet's most biodiverse marine region, spanning Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste. It is also one of the most climate vulnerable. In its waters live 76% of the world’s known coral species and more than 2,000 different types of coral fish. The Coral Triangle is home to six of the seven marine turtle species, and acts as a feeding ground for whales and other marine mammals, including many threatened small cetaceans. More than 360 million people depend on this ecosystem for food security, livelihoods, storm protection and cultural identity. The Coral Triangle is not only a biodiversity hotspot, it is a foundation of economic and social stability across Southeast Asia and the Pacific. All this is at threat from the rapid expansion of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) infrastructure which is accelerating the degradation of this vital ecosystem and creating compounding systemic risks. As science makes clear, new oil and gas projects are incompatible with a liveable future. This #CoralTriangle Day, coastal communities, fisherfolk, and global civil society groups have launched the "Sama-sama: Together for the Coral Triangle" campaign. Together we call for an end to the rapid expansion of offshore oil, fossil gas, and LNG projects threatening this wonder of the oceans. Protecting the Coral Triangle provides an immediate, concrete opportunity for (re)insurers to demonstrate credible and bold market leadership, we call on them to #InsureOurFuture not #FossilFuels. #TogetherForTheCoralTriangle #InsureOurSurvival #CoralTriangleDay #SamaSama @Zurich @AllianzID @avivaplc @ChubbEurope @SwissRe @InsOurFuture @BoycottBloody

The ocean may seem vast, distant, and separate from us; yet it has always flowed through us, in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the climate that makes our lives possible. We live on #PlanetOcean #WorldOceansDay

On #WorldOceanDay, one thing is clear: we cannot protect the ocean without confronting offshore oil and gas. That's the call we are bringing to the 11th Our Ocean Conference next week. 🧵⤵️ A thread on #OurOceanKenya. /1

As the Bonn Climate Conference opens today, health groups are calling on governments to triple public adaptation finance to at least $120 billion a year by 2035. The demand: stronger health systems, a just transition away from fossil fuels, and greater support for countries facing climate-related loss and damage ahead of COP31, writes @puja_das12 downtoearth.org.in/climate-c… #BonnClimateConference #ClimateFinance #ClimateHealth #COP31 #ClimateAction

Police use power tools to separate activists from a pink car emblazoned with the phrase "GAS IS BAD FOR MASS" parked in the intersection at Copley Square. #ClimateCrisis

5 trained and prepared activists arrested while protesting to stop new gas infrastructure. Using a pink car, pink barrels and their bodies, rebels block access to the Gas Forum where “Build Baby Build” is the attitude despite Mass's legal mandate to be net zero by 2050

BREAKING!! XR Rebels block access to Northeast LDC Gas Forum at Westin Hotel in Copley Sq.  XR Boston demands that Massachusetts ban new fossil fuel infrastructure & rapidly transition off natural gas. GAS is BAD for MASS! ARRESTS EXPECTED #ClimateCrisis xrboston.org/press/climate-a…

The science behind the weird Atlantic 'cold blob' explained (in under 15 minutes). It's the only part of the planet which hasn't warmed in the last hundred years, but cooled! And it's a bad sign. #AMOC youtube.com/watch?v=ULJXqOZu…

Really good news. Over the last 15 years the world gained more mangroves than it has lost, thanks to stronger legal protections following the 2004 tsunami which proved their importance in protecting coasts. Also vital for fish and in absorbing carbon. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn4p…

📌The fourth global coral bleaching event, the fastest and most extensive on record, likely ended by mid-2025. 📌It caused bleaching-level heat stress across 84% of reef areas in 83 countries. 📌Yet, sea temperatures remain far above past levels. 📌Near-annual bleaching threatens ecosystems and the livelihoods of nearly a billion people who depend on coral reefs. downtoearth.org.in/wildlife-… @himanshujourno
