"The ICJ pointing the direction for the entire world and making clear that every nation is legally obliged to solve the climate crisis," says PIK director @jrockstrom in @RFI. 1.5°C would now be recognised in international law as planetary limit.
rfi.fr
The world's highest court Wednesday declared that states have a legal obligation to tackle climate change and that failing to do so was a "wrongful act" that could open the door to reparations.

“Until we get to net-zero emissions, extreme weather will only get worse, and it’s already damaging crops and pushing up the price of food all over the world” guest researcher at PIK @KotzMaximilian in @CNN on how climate change is driving food inflation.
edition.cnn.com
Extreme weather caused by climate change is driving up the prices of basic food products worldwide and posing wider risks to society, a new study has found.

New PIK study: Ambitious action on land use and food systems can limit warming to 1.5°C and ease pressure on multiple planetary boundaries, especially with food system reform. Yet: all five assessed planetary boundaries still exceeded by 2100.

“It would be a huge mistake to deviate from 1.5.” PIK Director @jrockstrom and other leading scientists spoke to @NewYorker about the realities of delayed emissions reductions and the dire consequences of giving up hope.

Scientists have long insisted that we can and must limit global warming to 1.5 degrees—and some still do, even as that grim milestone nears.
