๐Ÿ”ฅ On the hottest day of the year, the EU dropped its updated Climate Law โ€” but instead of real climate action, it doubles down on offsets and unproven tech.

We say: No to loopholes. No to burning forests. Yes to real emissions cuts.

Study suggests ocean acidification has reached its planetary boundary. Extremely timely info to share, given the ongoing UN Ocean Conference, and the upcoming UN Ocean and Climate Change Dialogue

Ocean acidification more advanced than previously thought
New research co-led by PML, NOAA, CIMERS OSU and the University of Maryland provides new evidence on the severity of ocean acidification.

#WorldOceansDay 2025 โ€“ Urgent need to rapidly reduce global COโ‚‚ emissions in order to maintain the average ocean pH above the critical threshold for the survival of marine ecosystems.

Why is ocean acidification a major political issue?
www.afd.fr
#WorldOceansDay โ€“ Ocean acidification is continuing to increase; the oceans have become 30% more acidic since the beginning of the industrial area, with mayor threats to ocean fauna and flora due to CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels โ€“ see WMO key indicator pH (page 9).

Great to see our report "Addressing challenges in the land sector under the Paris Agreement" getting attention!

Bill Hare & Claudio Forner highlight why land carbon canโ€™t offset fossil fuel emissions โ€” storage is temporary, emissions are permanent.
Including land and forest carbon sequestration together with fossil fuels and other emissions in national climate targets will likely allow for greater emissions of fossil fuel carbon, and put the 1.5ยฐC limit further at risk.
Governments shouldn't rely forests to meet their emissions goals
Some countries rely on forests and their carbon storage to deliver on their climate targets, a risky approach that could see fossil fuel emissions rise

Important new report from @climateanalytics.org โ€“ written on behalf of us at with support from The Swedish Postcode Lottery Foundation ๐ŸŒณ It shows how land sector accounting can mask real fossil fuel emissions. Time for more transparency to stay on track for 1.5ยฐC! #ClimateAction #NetZero
๐Ÿšจ NEW Report: the way the land sector is included in national climate targets is masking the real fossil fuel emissions cuts needed to keep 1.5ยฐC in reach.

Hereโ€™s the lowdown and what governments can do to fix it ๐Ÿงตโคต๏ธ
Addressing challenges in the land sector under the Paris Agreement
This report examines how loose land-sector rules under the Paris Agreement enable countries to overstate carbon removals and delay essential fossil fuel emissions cuts.

This week, along with partner organisations BEUC, EPHA and Eurogroup4Animals, we shone a spotlight on the
European Commission.

Why? It's not delivered key 'Farm to Fork' promises made to Europeans. And we can't eat broken promises!
