“The world is still underestimating climate risks. I have no doubt that we are risking reach[ing] a number of tipping points that will dramatically accelerate the impacts of climate change.

#COP29
"The UK [announces] an 81% #emissions cut below 1990 levels by 2035.
The #UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, was praised by campaigners and experts after confirming the pledge at the Cop29 UN climate summit in Azerbaijan, though they said it would need to be backed by clear plans. The UK is one of the first larger countries to announce a 2035 target before a UN deadline next February."
The right framing:
"#Australia accused of ‘exporting #climate destruction’ on tiny Pacific neighbours with massive gas expansion plans."
Money. Mouth.
"The #AmazonFund is one of the most well-known financial mechanisms for supporting efforts to reduce emissions from #deforestation and degradation, with more than 100 projects in its portfolio. Last year, the fund committed R$1.3 billion (US$226.3m) for such projects."
Plus #Brazil's #Climate Fund,
plus tax reform,
plus sustainability sovereign bonds.
