Thanks to @carbonbrief.org for hosting the 11th and every challenging #CBquiz. #WWF team Bamboo-zeled had a great time and are proud of our 8th place out of 39 teams.
Going to swot up on European environment ministers names for next year!
The #COP30 wrap-up report from @iisd.org's excellent Earth Negotiations Bulletin. This (and Carbon Brief's summary) are what you need to read!

#BREAKING: #COP30 ends without a deal to transition away from fossil fuels, halt deforestation, or secure a nature package.
"Bold titles and grand promises have not translated into meaningful action". Read WWF's full response here: ow.ly/V2Mx50XwhiO
Woke up for last morning in Belem to see where Ministers got up to overnight at #COP30... but then the #ashes test cricket
Much improvement is needed in #COP30 draft. The roadmaps for transitioning away from fossil fuels and using deforestation are missing.
A long day ahead for ministers and negotiators.

🌴WWF and @greenpeace.org have called for talk to turn to action at COP30.
🌳In a joint press conference today, they called for COP30 to adopt a Forest Roadmap to halt and end deforestation by 2030.

#COP30
CAT Global Update 2025 🚨 Ten years after the #ParisAgreement we see little to no measurable progress in warming projections - for the fourth consecutive year.
The 2035 #NDCs have made no difference to our warming outlook.

What will define our decade? Will we:
🌿 Halt deforestation?
💡 Phase out fossil fuels?
💸 Fund climate resilience?
WWF's Climate Manifesto shows how we can get there.

As #COP30 kicks off in Belém’s heat and downpours, the world must #CloseTheGap on climate action - more mitigation, adaptation and finance
We also need a Nature Package to safeguard forests and biodiversity - because the Amazon COP should deliver for people and planet.

The village of Blatten in Switzerland is partly buried by the collapse of a glacier which melted because our greenhouse gas emissions warmed the climate.
Another reminder that choosing to not invest enough today to reduce emissions means far greater costs for society in the long term.

Here it is, finally. The truth.
In a landmark #greenwashing legal case brought by @parentsforclimate.bsky.social, #EnergyAustralia has publicly acknowledged that offsets do not undo the harms of burning fossil fuels & apologised to more than 400,000 customers of its carbon #offsetting product
Some amazing nature photos here (and some awfully sad ones in the 'Humanity vs Nature' category)

Line chart – China's CO2 emissions are now 1% below their March 2024 peak: China’s emissions from fossil fuels and cement, million tonnes of CO2, rolling 12-month totals. Source: Emissions are estimated from National Bureau of Statistics data on production of different fuels and cement, China Customs data on imports and exports and WIND Information data on changes in inventories, applying emissions factors from China’s latest national greenhouse gas emissions inventory and annual emissions factors per tonne of cement production until 2024. Sector breakdown of coal consumption is estimated using coal consumption data from WIND Information and electricity data from the National Energy Administration.

Unexpected - EU companies increasingly aligned with climate action
“Those vocally organising to oppose the energy transition achieve outsized importance across public debate. However, there is a larger, quieter majority that are supportive of decarbonisation”

Solar energy has consistently been underestimated.
Today, it adds more capacity/yr to global grid than any other source in history.
If trend continues, solar will deliver more electricity generation/yr than any technology before it.

How are #heatwaves changing in #Europe?
According to the European #Climate Report, 2024 saw:
🌡️ Record-breaking ‘strong heat stress’ days and tropical nights in southeastern Europe during summer
🥵 In recent decades, heat has been the leading cause of reported deaths due to extreme weather
🌍🧪⚒️🌡️🌊
Achieving energy security for all means one crucial step: ending the world’s dependence on #FossilFuels and scaling up #RenewableEnergy. WWF calls on countries to include phasing out fossil fuels in their new national climate plans. Here’s our guidance on how: ow.ly/Gof750VGtyB
