Basic climate language you must know:

Beyond Buzzwords: A Primer on our Climate Language! In recent decades, our #planet has undergone profound #environmental transformations, marked by the overarching phenomena of #climatechange and #globalwarming. It becomes imperative for individuals and organizations alike to familiarize themselves with our evolving #climatelanguage. #Climatechange, characterized by #globalwarming and the surge in #greenhousegases (#GHGs), necessitates a comprehensive understanding of #mitigation and #adaptation strategies. The scrutiny of one's #carbonfootprint, the sum of #environmentalimpacts, is increasingly guiding endeavors toward sustainable practices, exemplified by the transition to renewable energy sources and the overarching goal of #decarbonization. Achieving a #netzero status, crucial in this pursuit, has prompted the rise of concepts like #carbonoffsetting within #carbonmarkets. Moreover, embracing #naturebasedsolutions and incorporating #sustainabledevelopment principles is gaining traction as an integrated approach to harmonize human activities with environmental well-being. Thus, the call to "familiarize yourself with our #climatelanguage" encapsulates the imperative to comprehend and engage with the diverse terminologies and strategies shaping our collective response to the critical issue of climate change. #ClimateLanguage #ClimateChange

Are you invested in Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)? Despite an increase in the number of companies setting targets aligned with climate science in 2023, they continue to cause controversy amongst sustainability advocates for many reasons: - 'Science-based targets miss the mark' Nature Portfolio  https://lnkd.in/dkeQB6ZR - The Scientist Warning Against ‘Science-Based’ Targets Heatmap News https://lnkd.in/edUDJjam Our View: Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) encourages thoughtful sustainability decisions, but without a robust and accurate emissions baseline, any target set could introduce undue risk.
