Environmental law is changing to defend the climate and planet at local and global levels
Approaches vary in terms of who is filing the lawsuit, against whom and whether it is based on protecting human rights or the rights of the environment itself.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has opened its 62nd Plenary Session in Hangzhou, China, to consider and agree on the draft outlines of the three Working Group contributions to the Seventh Assessment Report (AR7).

Yet another long article in Norwegian media about the rapidly vanishing ski season, including lots of detail about rising temperatures, but not a single mention of the cause.

We have to start somewhere...! AI can accelerate lifelong learning, then, at a cost of selling our souls and overcharging the energy grids. UNESCO is addressing this on behalf of science, education and culture. @climateschoolus.bsky.social addresses in directly to UNESCO. #AIEthics #UNESCO
As AI systems become more integrated into various aspects of society, including healthcare and environmental management, the need for ethical frameworks and governance structures has become increasingly urgent.

Climate Emergency
If this is not enough of a wakeup call, what will be?
Let us call for creatives from around the world to come together to rethink #civilizationalshift
Moral of the story: it's time for us all to build proactivity and preparedness - within us, all around us, above us. Everywhere. #climateemergency #civilizationalshift #society
If humanity has proved its inability to take pre-emptive actions on climate, these necessary actions will follow the catastrophes rather than prevent them.

Listen to this - the fire has changed!
"How has fire changed?"
"The most potent and frightening way, the most obvious to the layperson, people like us, is it moves faster and with greater intensity. When you talk to any firefighter with any sense of history, they are seeing different [fire] behavior that is, in many cases, un-fightable."
