A mysterious creature was spotted on Washington state’s Long Beach Peninsula. It was announced to be a ribbon seal. This type of seal is probably the most stylish one on the planet, and it is so rare to spot, the last time it was seen in the region was back in 2012. Nature Vibes

Hi UN Climate Change … 🔴 Why are the UN Climate High-Level Champions out there promoting fossil gas instead of renewables? 🔴 Isn’t this against the goals of the #ParisAgreement? 🔴 Didn’t the UNSG António Guterres warn about these exact projects as ‘carbon bombs’?

This statement implies that #Oman wants (or planning) to put forward a national strategy to achieve #net_zero target, in line with Oman vision 2040. Congratulations on the establishment of CarbonManagementLab. #COP27

Ohh "has the COP finished yet" is back!!! At least some things in this process are predictable.

Links to the (in)famous #COP27 cover decisions: CMA: unfccc.int/documents/6244… COP: unfccc.int/documents/6244… Note that the COP delivered a large number of other decisions. These are kind of the cherry on the top, even though some mistake them for the most imp/only COP decisions.

Scotland has always been a bastion of sustainability.

#NaturebasedSolutions have been included for the 1st time in a COP cover text. The #COP27 decisions include NbS within a dedicated section on forest. Parties must now ensure NbS are not misused for greenwashing, violating human rights or harming biodiversity. A thread🧵👇

World Cup fever has hit the region! For those who didn’t see it, I’d recommend watching the goals with Arabic commentary - so much better and more emotional than English! esquireme.com/brief/events/w…
