How appalling that protecting Australian children from climate change harm is not considered to be part of the role of the Environment Minister. Sussan Ley appealed the original court decision that there was a duty of care. Sad day for young people. #auspol #climateactnow

I can't thank Greg Mullins enough for his support & I agree with Greg, we need a government that listens to experts & plans accordingly. We cannot afford more inaction on climate change or a government that continues to ignore warnings on disaster preparedness & response #auspol

The 🌍 has already warmed by about 1.1°C since the pre-industrial era. To limit global warming to 1.5°C, we need to halve emissions by 2030. ©️ Ed Hawkins | NASA

Girls’ education is disproportionately impacted by climate-related disasters - and it is also one of the most effective solutions to build resilience. Despite this, no #NDC recognizes investment in girls’ education to achieve their climate strategy. This must change! #CSW66

Girls’ education is often the first thing families sacrifice when faced with the impacts of the climate crisis. #WhatHasChanged? when Girls are pulled out of school to help their families find food and water or take care of siblings. @PACJAC1 Climate & Sustainable Development Network @NCSFPAS

‘To be able to consistently keep girls in school, we must think about structural barriers that inhibit their attendance and continue to get more challenging by the day, often due to climate change.’

Our addiction to fossil fuels is killing us. People and ecosystems are being clobbered by climate change. We need urgent, transformative efforts from all countries to eliminate coal & stop expanding oil & gas exploration to keep warming to 1.5 degrees.

Speaking as an IPCC Lead Author, these are some of the most important new messages from the #climate report out today: (🧵) 1. For the first time we’re seeing evidence of real, sustained decreases in greenhouse gas emissions from some countries. But take a breath because…

Climate promises and plans must be turned into reality and action, now. A shift to renewables will mend our broken global energy mix and offer hope to millions of people already suffering from the impact of climate change. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels. Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness.

I’m thrilled by this attention for the IPCC report. My last thread has surpassed a million impressions, with no satire, celebrities, or snark. That’s really something 😃. So let’s talk about #climate solutions sector-by-sector.🧵
