News · World on course to trigger multiple climate ‘tipping points’ unless action acceleratesMultiple climate “tipping points” are likely to be triggered if global policies stay on their current course, new research shows. Scientists assessed the risk of “tipping” in 16 different parts of the Earth system –
" #TaxCuts for very rich people leads to less revenue then cuts to the public sector. This is presented as being 'inevitable' but it's a choice which leads to a decline in quality & accessibility of public services. Then governments swoop in to offer #privatization as a viable alternative."

It's a project led by 500+ media outlets from 60 countries that aims to amplify the “silent climate majority”—the 80–89% who want urgent #climateAction but don’t realize they’re not alone. Many great and important articles. A great idea published around the globe in many languages. You can
The countdown has started:
On May 15, we will launch the 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿, a new dashboard using open, high-resolution data to inform local climate action.
Today, we introduce 𝗵𝗶𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸, one of the dashboard’s key tools, which assesses the walkability of cities and towns.
With hiWalk, you can evaluate the safety, accessibility, pleasantness and convenience of pedestrian paths.

In my previous post (

For us, the canary is coral reefs, and they are now dying.
But where can we go? We can’t escape the “coal mine” we live in.
We have to stay on Earth. There's no running away to Mars, a ridiculous Tech Bro fantasy that will never happen.
So we're stuck here, with each other. But there is some good news. We *can* help each other.

Irvin Rivero is the E-Mobility Associate at Acterra, whose work is engaging and educating local community members about the benefits of electric vehicles to accelerate the use of clean energy, reduce carbon emissions, and lower air pollution caused by conventional combustion vehicles. Through multilingual Acterra events and workshops, Irivin educates community members about clean energy incentives and shares financial resources and opportunities offered by local government and energy providers to increase the adoption of electric vehicles. Upgrading appliances, buildings, and vehicles to those that operate on clean energy instead of fossil fuels is a meaningful way to invest in climate resilience and reduce emissions. Irvin shares, "At Acterra, we focus on local climate solutions. If we can change a community by reducing carbon emissions, it's part of the solution for the whole planet." When speaking about the "doom" we may feel about the climate crisis, something that helps Irvin feel more hopeful is the power of collective action to address climate change, which starts at the individual and community level before building momentum to deliver a much bigger impact."
"The San Francisco Bay Area – home to nine counties, more than 100 cities and towns, and over 7 million people – exemplifies climate leadership, environmental justice, and innovative renewable technologies. It is a model for how cities, residents, organizations, and businesses can work together to respond to the intensifying regional impacts of climate change, from heat waves and wildfires to flooding and rising sea levels. As a global hub of diversity, culture, and technology, the Bay Area has enormous economic, social, and political power to address climate change in ways that ripple across sectors and the world. The land known as the Bay Area is the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Native homelands of the Muwekma Ohlone, Chochenyo, Karkin, Ramaytush, Yokuts, Miwok, Southern Pomo, Kashaya, Patwin, and Mishewal Wappo."

Germany’s incoming government reaffirmed its commitment to the 2045 #climateneutrality goal. This important signal comes at a pivotal moment – highlighting how ambitious #climateaction not only cuts emissions, but also reduces fossil fuel import dependency and strengthens long-term #competitiveness.
56% of the global population live in cities.
Cities, therefore, are powering a formidable climate movement and policy that is having a real impact.
Electing leaders committed to climate action ensures cities adopt strategies that drive meaningful environmental change.
Newsweek · If Nations Won't Fight Global Warming, Cities Can and Will | OpinionCreating a safe and livable future for humanity would appear to be an obvious goal for all. Yet the climate movement has never faced a more hostile and coordinated opposition.
So what’s next?

I'll be speaking at the Climate Obstruction in Finance WG on April 24 at 4 pm GMT (11 am EST / 5 pm CET). I'll discuss how financial firms perform accountability for their carbon emissions without truly addressing them. Join us to explore who gets called to account for carbon emissions in finance.
