🌊One of the most promising areas for climate action has been largely overlooked and underinvested: the ocean.
Research commissioned by the @oceanpanel found that ocean-based climate solutions can deliver over a third of the annual emissions cuts needed in 2050 to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C (2.7 degrees F), a globally agreed target to avert the worst outcomes from climate change.

Close to 40% of all data centers in the world are in the United States, and more are being built at breakneck speed.
In the country itself, 60% of all data centers are found in 10 states. How will they impact communities in the short and long run? We unpack seven ways: go.wri.org/data-center-tw

New research shows annual cropland and pasture is replacing grasslands, wetlands & savannas at up to 4 times the rate of forests. Livestock production is the biggest driver.

To limit warming to 1.5°C and get on track for 2030, we have to:
🏭Phase out coal more than 10x faster
🚉Expand rapid transit networks 5x faster
🌳Reduce deforestation 9x faster
🐮Lower beef and lamb consumption in high-consuming regions 5x faster
🎯Scale up technological carbon dioxide removal more than 10x faster
💲Increase global climate finance 4x faster

New insights from @WRIFood: what food buyers need to know about beef emissions and sustainability labels 👇
There's no such thing as climate-friendly beef—despite growing "net zero" labels.
New @WorldResources research reveals why: it's about the land. Beef needs 3x more cropland per kg of protein than eggs, pork, chicken – and 7x more than beans.

🌍Four out of five people say they want stronger climate action. Yet, when more than half the world's population went to the polls in 2024, barely anyone voted for it.
It's time to think, talk and act differently around climate.
WRI CEO & President @AniDasguptaWRI offers critical insights, with his new book "The New Global Possible" showing there's a case for hope.

🔥Confirmed. Forest fires are becoming more widespread and destructive around the globe.
@worldresources @globalforests calculated that forest fires now burn more than 2X as much tree cover each year as they did two decades ago.
