Current policies are taking us towards a catastrophic 3.1° temperature rise by the end of the century. Affordable, existing technologies can achieve the emissions reductions we need to meet the 1.5° limit. #COP29 must drive a surge in climate ambition.

9 out of 10 people in the world breathe polluted air, which is also one of the biggest drivers of the climate crisis. Ambitious #ClimateAction is crucial to realize everyone’s right to a healthy environment. https://t.co/zqz4xO2Vtk

Biodiversity is essential for human survival. But in Antarctica - and around the world - flora and fauna are threatened by the climate crisis. We must protect our common home for the sake of the planet & for the generations that will come after us.

In Antarctica, I saw for myself & heard from scientists how ice loss is accelerating in dangerous ways. Climate change is wreaking havoc. Fossil fuels are the main culprit. At #COP28, leaders must act to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C & end the fossil fuel age.

As language teachers, we understand the impact a well-chosen metaphor. #GlobalBoiling shouts urgency and calls us to action. We need to step up and help avert the worst outcomes of this climate crisis. Read @jonathandykes1's blog: https://t.co/3mO7Bg7oc6
