A very uplifting evening at @KTHuniversity professors’ installation, with lots of sustainability research and innovation. Excellent to see @Laura_Cozzi_ awarded an honorary doctorate, for the incredibly important work of @IEA in presenting evidence and data for climate action.

New paper🚨 “Global CO2 emissions for 2023 increased by only 0.1% relative to 2022 (following increases of 5.4% and 1.9% in 2021 and 2022, respectively)… …Although the trend is upwards, the pace of growth has been slowing, suggesting GLOBAL EMISSIONS MIGHT HAVE PLATEAUED.”

At the #CopenhagenClimateMinisterial, I stressed to ministers that if we do not act now, we close the option of limiting warming to 1.5°C as we will have used up the carbon budget by 2030, even with the current set of nationally determined contributions. 🔗bit.ly/ChairCCC

Upplysande och intressant, bra @AlbertNorstrm ! svd.se/a/rlqnRm/hur-hotade-a…

Överlever paradiset havets feberchock?

Blekta koraller är inte döda. Och vissa arter klarar sig utmärkt även om världs­haven blir varmare. ”Reven har aldrig mått bättre”, säger fiskeindustrin. Så varför menar forskare att havets regnskog...

It’s OFFICIAL: Scientist Johan Rockström has won the 2024 Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement! @jrockstrom is being recognized for his pioneering work on the “Planetary Boundaries” framework, a scientific guide to help keep the planet in a safe operating space. First published in 2009, the #planetaryboundaries determine the limits in which humanity can safely operate within the natural world, integrating the nine systems that determine the functioning and the state of the planet. They provide life-support to humans, and include systems we all rely upon, such as clean water, a stable climate, and vibrant biodiversity.

Så upprörande och tragiskt. Lika gammal som mig. Dokumentären om Navalny och hans kampanj efter mordförsöket är bland det starkaste jag sett. Modet hos honom och hans familj! svd.se/a/gE5dO1/han-var-puti…

Aleksej Navalnyj – Putins värsta fiende – uppges död

Kämpade mot maktmissbruk och korruption i Ryssland.

Klimatkrisen där du bor

• Så stora utsläpp orsakas i din kommun. • Så har klimatet ändrats hos dig: Så mycket varmare, mindre snö och kortare vintrar. • Det väntar i framtiden.
