Les glaciers suisses ont perdu 3% de leur volume cette année, en raison de l'hiver peu enneigé et des vagues de chaleur de l'été.
En dix ans, ils ont perdu un quart de leur volume total, et de nombreux petits glaciers ont disparu.

IPCC projections in the mid-1990s of global sea-level change over the next 30 years were remarkably robust - important for confidence in future projections.

The largest disparities were due to underestimated dynamic mass loss of ice sheets

HSH Prince Albert of #Monaco opens #BEFF2025 by asserting that the ambition for the #BlueEconomy cannot take the form of retreat or inaction - doing so would be contrary to the needs of billions of people relying on the ocean for nutrition, mobility and health care. #FinanceforOcean

Ukraine wants peace more than anyone.
It is clear Putin is still playing games.
We see no movement towards a ceasefire.

We’re stepping up the pressure on Russia as we prepare a next round of sanctions.

@richardgowan1.bsky.social gives a good summary and discussion on some of the literature on the international organisations, and its application to the #UN’s current crisis.
For those wondering if the UN system could collapse or at least shrink very drastically, it may be a good moment to look at how international institutions have fared in past existential crises.

Columnist @richardgowan1.bsky.social writes:
To Survive Its Existential Crisis, the U.N. Must Learn From the Past
The U.N. system will likely be able to ride out its current existential crisis, but only if its members agree on what that crisis is.

At the #EuropeanParliament, Professor Jeffrey Sachs says it as it (probably) is on US power and Europe’s passivity. Time has come to upgrade Europe.

It looks like the U.S. will table a version of its text in the UNSC before the UNGA on Monday.

UK and France will have to choose to veto (unlikely), abstain and persuade others to abstain and block text... or fold.
