The signs were clear and it finally happened: 2024 was the first year to exceed 1.5C above pre-industrial global temperature levels. Sir David King explains why this isn’t just a problem for the distant future – it’s causing devastation today. The world’s leaders must act

Honoured to return to my alma mater to deliver a lecture. Blown away by the talent of staff & students alike. My message was clear: South Africa can’t wait for others—this is the moment to lead. Let’s seize it. wits.ac.za/news/latest-ne…

I worked with Tony Blair when he put climate at the heart of UK policy. We must not now undermine that. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Methane is our climate emergency brake — and it’s time to pull it. Watch Mitzi, Marcelo and Christophe unpack why cutting methane is one of the fastest, most powerful ways to slow climate change.

It’s time to break with the past. Our recommendations challenge policymakers to move beyond rhetoric, show real ambition, and deliver. Not just for the planet, but for the prosperity of their people
