How do we know whether net-zero committed companies are taking action on climate change? #climate #netzero #decarbonization #climatescience #commitments#climateaction #climatefinance #sdgs #research

🔊How important is narrative and storytelling in solving the climate crisis? 🌎I remember reading an article from The Guardian  last year which said something like "We are hemmed in by stories that prevent us from seeing, or believing in, or acting on the possibilities for change. Sometimes, the situation has changed but the stories haven’t, and people follow the old versions, like outdated maps, into dead ends." 💡This simple chart is also part of a great article signed by Hannah Ritchie , which is well worth a read, and for me shows in simple terms the extend of the challenge, and how misinformed we generally are about climate change. 🤝IMHO - As a sustainability professionals, we have a responsibility to make the conversation inclusive, bringing people on the journey, without over-complicate, judge and focusing only on the doom stories.

The Action We Really Need Now: (My Thoughts) As we gradually approach 2030, the overarching goal of the UN's SDG 13 (Climate Action) must transcend being a mere slogan, or political rhetoric among actors and stakeholders attempting to 'greenwash' sustainability compliance. The urgent need for 'actions' going forward must rather be treated as a clarion call to a more deliberate, actionable steps, and efforts in mitigating and adapting climate change effects as they impact the environment, economy and the society. Bearing in mind the above, the logic for the moment; requires a rapid shift away from mere rhetoric, to real and sustainable actions. And for this to happen, there must be a limpid inter-play between 'Policies and Partnerships' driven by real commitments across board. #Sustainability #ItsTime2Act!!! #DecadeofAction#🌳🌱🏕️

"If working apart, we’re a force powerful enough to destabilize our planet, surely working together we are powerful enough to save it.” – Sir David Attenborough The essence of collective action is one of humanity’s greatest strengths—an understanding that, like threads in an intricate web, our impact is magnified when we come together, especially in the face of #climatechange. As we approach COP 29, I am thrilled to share news of the report we developed as part of CLAN 30 (Climate Leaders Action Network 30), an initiative by SUSTERA Foundation that brings together a vibrant community of climate leaders. CLAN 30 is a network where trained set of young activists, environmental experts, and community leaders work together to address climate challenges in India. Rooted in values of mutual support, resilience, and a shared purpose, CLAN 30 channels collective energy into action—strengthening the foundations of climate resilience, building bridges between local and global scales, and empowering youth to play a leading role in climate adaptation and advocacy. Why Collectives Like CLAN 30 Matter: -Amplifying Impact: Together, we achieve more than as individuals. -Collectives like CLAN 30 strengthen local responses and empower communities. -Building Trust: Trust is fundamental in fostering collaboration and creating resilient networks. -Empowering Youth: CLAN 30 places young leaders in decision-making roles, enabling them to advocate effectively on both local and global stages. -Sharing Knowledge: With pooled resources and shared insights, we create sustainable models that can be replicated and scaled. Please do go through the report that we have released and share it with people who will benefit. Kudos to everyone who worked on this. #ClimateAction #CollectiveImpact #CLAN30 #ClimateLeadership #ClimateResilience #COP29 #SustainableFuture

The scientific consensus on climate change, particularly regarding human causes and its projected effects over the next 50 years, is detailed and extensive. Here's a summary based on the latest comprehensive assessments, such as those from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): ### Human Causes Climate change is primarily driven by human activities, especially the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). The main sources include burning fossil fuels for energy, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, enhancing the natural greenhouse effect and leading to a rise in global temperatures. ### Projected Effects for Humanity Over the Next 50 Years If current trends in greenhouse gas emissions continue, we can expect significant and increasingly severe impacts on the planet and humanity: 1. **Temperature Rise**: Global temperatures are projected to rise by 1.5°C to 2°C above pre-industrial levels by 2050. This increase could exceed 2°C by the end of the century if emissions are not drastically reduced. 2. **Extreme Weather**: There will be an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, droughts, heavy rainfall, hurricanes, and other storms. 3. **Sea Level Rise**: Sea levels are expected to continue rising, which could displace millions of people living in coastal areas. 4. **Biodiversity Loss**: Higher temperatures and changing climates will significantly alter ecosystems, leading to the extinction of many species. 5. **Impact on Health**: Climate change is likely to exacerbate health problems, including heat-related illnesses, vector-borne diseases, and water-borne illnesses. 6. **Economic Impact**: There will be substantial economic impacts, particularly for industries reliant on natural resources and outdoor conditions, such as agriculture, fishing, and tourism. 7. **Social and Geopolitical Impact**: Resource scarcity, exacerbated by climate change, could lead to social unrest and increased migration, posing challenges to national and international security. The IPCC reports and various national scientific agencies underline that immediate and sustained action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can limit climate change's worst impacts. Efforts include transitioning to renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, protecting and restoring forests, and innovating in green technologies.
