Adaptation planning must include 1.5°C overshoot scenarios Adaptation planning should include the impacts that can be avoided by high mitigation ambition – including which impacts are reversible from overshooting the 1.5°C limit and which are irreversible. Th...

We need to start including #overshoot in #adaptation planning.

This way we’ll know which impacts can be avoided by high mitigation ambition – including which are reversible and which are irreversible.

My cousin’s son would strongly disagree with Trump on this. At least he would if he was here but he died in Helmand province as a paratrooper a few days before his 20th birthday.

Glaciers to reach peak rate of extinction in the Alps in eight years Climate crisis forecast to wipe out thousands of glaciers a year globally, threatening water supplies and cultural heritage

The global mutirão decision from COP30 has just been released. And it’s ……disappointing, underwhelming, simply not enough.
See the response from ICCI below.

🏔️ Glaciers lost 450 gigatons of water in 2024.

This is enough to form a block of ice 7 km tall, 7 km wide, and 7 km deep or to fill 180 million Olympic swimming pools.

Help us amplify #Glaciers2025: we need urgent climate action now.

Cryosphere science shows irreversible ice loss is underway, but can be slowed with emission cuts.

At a #COP30 side event, scientists warned negotiators often soften evidence, urging choices guided by science
