China is aiming for a 2030 peak in GHGs. This is huge news, and depending on its eventual net zero date will make a major dent in climate warming - not a moment too soon. reuters.com/world/china/ch…

Congratulations, President Muizz, for scrapping the Fisheries Ministry's plan for long-lining in Maldives. It would have damaged our tourism brand, and the global reputation of Maldivian tuna fisheries. It's the right call. Dr Mohamed Muizzu

According to media reports Ed Miliband could be about to scrap plans for new nuclear builds, putting UK's clean energy and Net Zero targets at risk. Please add your voice to the petition - we need to send a clear and urgent message before it's too late. act.weplanet.org/savebritishnuc…

The UK's power sector emissions have dropped by 50% in just 5 years. Renewables are making enormous progress in decarbonising Britain - we now have the lowest fossil use in electricity in over a century. With more wind, it's going to get even better. theconversation.com/wind-powers-a-…

Understand the motivation, but this is peculiar. While Europe is still burning millions of tonnes of coal and gas, can we really deny electricity to Africa because of climate goals? This is why climate justice must be central to mitigation. Carbon Brief carbonbrief.org/how-a-uk-gover…

In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll introduce an American politician, Jill Stein (Dr. Jill Stein🌻). She’s best-known for her visits to Moscow, bids for the US presidency, blaming of NATO for the war in Ukraine, and for her inability to condemn Vladimir Putin as a war criminal. 1/23

The world is likely to add half a terawatt of new solar installations by the end of the year. I would NEVER have believed we could move this fast, even 5 years ago. We're now likely on track to meet the pledge of tripling global renewables made at COP28. ember-climate.org/insights/in-br…

What should be the poverty line? The UN says $2.15/day. 'Doughnut economics' says $3.10/day. Try living on that! Max Roser proposes $30/day - meaning 83% of the world's population is still 'poor', including in 'rich' countries. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
