The @ECHR_CEDH decision today on climate change sets a precedent that goes far beyond Swiss borders. It sends a strong signal to courts all over the world that governments cannot continue to stall climate action, says @manupulgarvidal @WWF_Schweiz

Antarctica's sea ice reached a concerning low for the third year in a row. Scientists say the trend is indicative of a "regime shift," supported by research suggesting an abrupt and critical transition in sea ice dynamics. https://t.co/ChVgoZqL0j

The extent of ice floating around the continent has contracted to below 2m sq km for three years in a row, indicating an ‘abrupt critical transition’

We spoke with experts from @ucdavisvetmed monitoring avian flu on the Antarctic Peninsula. On Feb 24: #avianflu reached mainland #Antarctica following detection and spread at South Georgia. This is a global #conservation concern we must continue to monitor @AntarcticaSouth

GREAT NEWS! 🥳 South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands are growing their 'no take zone'! 🐋🦭🐧 From blue whales to king penguins, these waters are teeming with life and this expansion is a vital step in protecting them from the impacts of a changing climate. 🙌

Antarctica might be thousands of kilometres away, but it affects us all like no other continent. As world leaders gather for the COP28 climate summit, we bring you a report on how even the most remote place on Earth is beginning to crumble: https://t.co/vfHKx4M4qT 📷 @mishkusk

Continued inaction is indefensible. Antarctica is relying on us. 2024 will be a critical year for #CCAMLR to step up conservation.
#Breaking: Countries fail to deliver greater protection for the Antarctic despite threats of record low sea-ice and bird flu. RT if you want to see greater action to protect our shared home! 🐋@WWFLeadOceans

Very sad news today - avian influenza has reached Antarctica. We need to do all we can to reduce the impacts this disease will have on Antarctic wildlife.
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has been confirmed in brown skua populations on Bird Island, South Georgia. These are the first confirmed cases of the disease in the Antarctic region.

Antarctica's sea-ice hit a historic low Feb 2023, and winter saw even more record-breaking declines.📉 This threatens habitats and wildlife. Tragic consequences include mass penguin chick deaths. Urgent action is needed – now. RT if you're with us! Via @WWFLeadOceans

For the first time, scientists have combined all our knowledge on ecosystems and climate change near Antarctica for decision-makers. We're so proud to have contributed to @MEASO20. It's like an @IPCC_CH report, just for the Southern Ocean. Read more 🐋 https://t.co/rvt82YiWPj

Antarctica is the coldest region on the planet. It is also experiencing some of the world’s most intense heatwaves. The warming climate caused sea-ice around Antarctica to shrink to the smallest area...

As #CCAMLR meets, WWF urges swift conservation to protect krill, their sea-ice habitats, and the Adelie and Chinstrap penguins that rely on them. CCAMLR must establish marine protected areas – now! Retweet your support 🧊💙 @WWF_Antarctica @WWFLeadOceans @climateWWF @EmilyGrilly

Antarctica sea-ice hit a historic low Feb 2023. Winter had more record-breaking declines 📉 🦐 Krill populations are declining in some regions, causing a reduction in humpback whale pregnancy rates 🐋 Urgent action is needed – #CCAMLR must establish marine protected areas!

More evidence of significant change to Antarctica’s environment. We urgently need protection for wildlife. #CCAMLR #MPAs #Antarctica 🧊 “Forty percent of Antarctica’s ice shelves are shrinking, worrying scientists” 👇🏼

Ice shelves play a critical role in slowing the flow of ice on land into the ocean by essentially acting as a wall.
