4.5 million commercial fishing trawlers are roaming the Earth destroying every last bit of the natural ocean environment from the top to the bottom of the sea floor.

Northern Europe’s breadbasket relies on steady rainfall, but spring rains are faltering. Latest data shows declining river flows & worsening droughts, threatening food security. 🌾

April 2025 was the second-warmest on record, with global temperatures remaining over 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. We've crossed the 1.5°C Rubicon— likely no turning back—tipping points loom. Mitigation is no longer optional; it's urgent. #ActNow

Japan’s 2023 heatwave devastated rice crops, driving prices sky-high. Without national stockpiles, supply would be down. Climate shocks are already here. What happens if there's no stockpiles? japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/0…

Meet Sheku Sumah–a #climateadvocate whose resilience shines at MEER. Overcoming poverty & disability, he mastered fabrication for building a MEER prototype. From losing his father at 2 to excelling in WASSCE for university, Sheku’s journey inspires. #ClimateAction

Incredible heat is currently scorching Central and North Africa, with temperatures soaring past 40°C in many areas. This region urgently needs climate action before vast areas become even more difficult to survive in.

Wow - Iceland in May usually sees average temperatures of between 4-10°C (39-50°F), but today some parts are hitting an incredible 21°C (70°F)! That's an anomaly of around 10°C higher. We are crossing the #Climate Rubicon in real-time.

Unbelievable heat anomaly unfolding across China — vast regions up to 16°C above normal for this time of year. The climate crisis isn’t future tense — it’s now. Urgent action is needed. 2050 targets are too late. #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave

Heatwaves are melting Iceland - Last week Egilsstaðir Airport hit 26.3°C, a new May record and ~16C over the normal. Reykjavík also reached 19°C on May 16, topping 2024's summer highs.

UK spring 2025: 30% drier than the infamous 1976. Soil moisture is critically low, and crops are failing to grow or establish. Where growth occurs, yields down >40%. 1 year it's drought, the next it's floods - #Agriculture needs a stable #climate, one we are moving out of.

The last 100 years have had a massive impact on the cryosphere—glaciers and ice sheets are shrinking fast. The next 100 years will decide how much coastline disappears altogether. Globally, 2 billion people live in near-coastal zones, with 900 million in low-elevation zones.
