The Amazon is not dying. It is being killed. This rainforest for 6,000 years: it is the greatest manifestation of life anywhere on the planet. But oil companies don't see that. They drill right where the rainforest is most alive, spilling their black plague, poisoning our rivers, and fueling the climate fever. They are killing the rainforest and all the life it contains. Now those same oil giants are ready to grease the negotiations at the UN climate talks, which will start in a few days. A huge oil boss will head the summit in Dubai, and hundreds of industry lobbyists are ready to feast. We cannot let them speak for the Amazon. #ClimateActionNow

Sustainability does entail efforts, yet it is not solely about forgoing things. If we consistently depict it as a burden, we risk alienating public support. Whilst it necessitates efforts in terms of time, money, and commitment, the pivotal message is that concentrating on sustainability can genuinely enhance our well-being and sense of purpose, rather than fixating on what we must forgo personally and as a society. #ClimateActionNow

The message emphasizes that sustainability involves more than sacrifices; portraying it solely as a burden may risk losing public support. While it requires efforts in terms of time, money, and commitment, the key takeaway is that focusing on sustainability can enhance our well-being and sense of purpose. Shifting the narrative from personal and societal sacrifices to the positive impact on our lives underscores the importance of a collective commitment to sustainability. #ClimateActionNow encourages a perspective that sees sustainability not just as an obligation but as a pathway to a better future.

The 2023 State of the Climate Report authored by Johan Rockström and esteemed climate scientists presents a grim picture of the current climate situation. The frequency of climate-related disasters is at an all-time high, and our efforts to mitigate them are falling short. Urgent and substantial actions are imperative to avert the escalating climate crisis. Key in the report is the call for a transformative shift in our economic structures, advocating for systems that prioritize meeting everyone’s basic needs rather than fueling the excessive consumption of the affluent. This underscores the vital role that every citizen plays in shaping a sustainable future for both present and future generations. The report unveils troubling trends and sets new records in climate-related extremes, signaling an emergent pattern of climate disasters. Despite these alarming signals, progress in climate change mitigation remains disappointingly minimal. It falls upon us—as scientists, citizens, parents, and humans—to sound the alarm on potential existential threats and lead the charge towards meaningful action. This moment calls for our collective courage and resolve to institute lasting change for future generations. Together, let's galvanize action for a better, sustainable world. Spread awareness and join the movement towards sustainability! Delving into the full report will provide comprehensive insights into our planet’s current climate state and the challenges ahead. Your involvement can contribute to creating a resilient and equitable future. https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv …

The recent Nature publication has analyzed the chances of limiting global temperature increase to 1.5°C, describing them as "exceptionally low." The current carbon budget is now estimated to be less than half of the 2020 IPCC report's projections, potentially running out in six years if emission rates persist. We are left with approximately 250 billion tons of carbon to emit for a 50% chance of staying below a 1.5°C increase, with global emissions expected to hit 40 billion tons this year. Achieving net-zero emissions by 2034 is essential to maintain these odds, presenting a formidable challenge. The study also considers the 2°C limit of the Paris Agreement, highlighting significant impending climate impacts and emphasizing the need for immediate fossil fuel phase-out. The upcoming COP28 climate summit is expected to focus on this urgent call for action, with a push to revisit strategies for returning to the 1.5°C target in case of overshoot.

Environmental Toll of Food Choices Explore how our daily meals affect the planet, spanning carbon emissions, water, and land use. Beef and dark chocolate lead in carbon footprint due to intensive resource use and land changes like deforestation. Over two-thirds of global freshwater is used for food, with 70% of the top water-intensive foods coming from animals. Local eating is less impactful than choosing low-emission foods, as transport is just 5% of global food emissions, while farming and land use changes dominate. Opting for sustainable food production is key. visualcapitalist.com/ranked-foods-w… #ClimateActionNow

Circular Economy and Single-Use Plastics: A Call for Urgent Action Is this for real? What necessitates the use of single-use plastics? The startling reality is that the average usage duration of a plastic bag is a mere 12 minutes. Yet, the aftermath of this fleeting usage contributes to a vicious cycle of environmental degradation that lasts for generations. As consumers, it is imperative that we spearhead the movement towards abstaining from the consumption of single-use plastics. The power to instigate change lies within our collective choice. By rejecting single-use plastics, we take a stand against a growing environmental menace. The unsettling truth is, as long as there's demand, the supply of single-use plastics made from virgin raw materials will continue to burgeon. It's a grim reality that virgin plastic is becoming cheaper than recycled plastic, further fueling this detrimental cycle. If we continue down this perilous path of accelerated production and consumption, the forecast for 2050 is grim with plastic production projected to exceed 500 million tons. This harrowing trajectory not only threatens marine life but spells catastrophe for our ecosystems. The time to act is now; the stakes have never been higher. #ClimateActionNow

We are all at varying stages in our journey towards #ClimateAction I find the emphasis on refraining from casting blame and avoiding horizontal hostility within the community to be particularly noteworthy - these aspects are quintessential for fostering aligned action across the entire society. Even though we may be at disparate places, the paramount concern is our dedication towards progress, and being open to listening to and motivating others - irrespective of whether their strategies and actions deviate from our own. What stage have you reached on this journey?

Agriculture often depends on extensive pesticide use, a short-term solution to meet food demands, but this can compromise both environmental and human health. In contrast, permaculture, rooted in sustainable design principles and respect for nature, offers a medium to long-term solution, particularly relevant in the context of the current ecological crisis. While the former perpetuates environmental imbalances, the latter seeks to restore and maintain the balance of ecosystems. #ClimateActionNow

131 companies with a combined annual turnover of nearly $1 trillion, including major corporations like Ikea, Volvo Cars, eBay, and Vodafone, are supporting climate activists in their call to cease oil usage. They have issued an open letter to all participants of COP28, urging them to agree on eliminating unrestrained fossil fuel use, emphasizing its necessity to cut climate emissions in half by 2030 and comply with the 2015 Paris Agreement. The situation is pressing, particularly as COP28 faces challenges, including opposition from Russia and several oil-rich countries against fossil fuel phase-out. Achieving consensus, which is required for decisions at COP, seems difficult unless these nations yield to mounting global pressure or the decision-making process changes. The companies are lauded for their proactive stance and responsibility in exerting social pressure. The open letter is accessible online. wemeanbusinesscoalition.org/

Moi University's recent Climate Summit, following the Africa Climate Summit, was an incredible platform for positive change and collaboration. It's an honor to have been part of the organizing team and to have served as a panelist at this remarkable event. This summit brought together passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds, united by a shared commitment to combat climate change. We engaged in thought-provoking discussions that revolved around the central theme of climate action and the pivotal role of youth and students in driving change. The exchange of ideas was nothing short of inspiring, illuminating the path forward for a more sustainable future. One of the highlights of the event was witnessing students from various disciplines present their innovative ideas aimed at tackling climate issues. Their creativity and determination were truly commendable. It's a reminder that solutions to the complex challenges we face can emerge from unexpected places, and that the youth are an invaluable source of fresh perspectives and inventive solutions. What became abundantly clear throughout the summit is that climate action should not be limited to special occasions or isolated conversations. It should be integrated into our daily lives, becoming as routine as our morning coffee. It should be a topic we discuss around the dinner table, in our classrooms, and in our workplaces. Every small action matters, from reducing single-use plastics to advocating for cleaner energy sources. The momentum generated by this event cannot be overstated. It is a testament to the power of collective effort and the unwavering commitment of individuals who refuse to stand idly by as our planet faces unprecedented challenges. The climate crisis is a global issue, but it's also a local one. It affects us all, and the solutions require each and every one of us to step up and take action. As we move forward from this summit, let's carry the torch of hope and change that was ignited here. Let's continue these conversations, implement the innovative ideas we discussed, and empower the youth to lead the way. Together, we can turn the tide on climate change and create a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come. #ClimateAction #YouthForClimate #MoiClimateSummit #Sustainability #Innovation #PositiveChange

We've been conditioned to feel individual guilt about climate change, but did you know that the top 10% wealthiest of humanity has been responsible for over 52% of cumulative emissions? YES, more than HALF! Large industries and corporations, backed by this elite minority, are the major polluters, and their greed is pushing our planet to the brink. Climate change isn't just an ecological crisis; it's a SOCIAL crisis. We're ensnared in a system where the greed of the few impacts the many. Are we to stand by whilst a small ruling class sacrifices our home for their gains? It's time to speak up, debate, and act! What's your take?

The Green Transition and the Risk of New Colonialism. The green transition is the shift towards a more sustainable economy, relying on renewable energy sources and more efficient production and consumption practices. This shift is essential to combat climate change and protect the environment. However, the green transition also poses risks of a new form of colonialism. This is because developing countries, often rich in natural resources, might be forced to exploit these to meet the demands of developed nations. The green transition must be fair and equitable, leaving no one behind. To ensure the green transition is just, developing countries must have access to the necessary technologies and capital to engage in it. It's also crucial to respect the rights of local communities and mitigate environmental impacts. The green transition presents an opportunity to create new jobs and growth opportunities worldwide. However, to seize this chance, the risk of new colonialism must be addressed. The green transition is a complex and challenging endeavour. Nevertheless, it's a necessary step towards building a more sustainable future for everyone. Steps must be taken to ensure the green transition doesn't become a new form of colonialism. Do you believe the green transition could trigger a new form of colonialism? What actions do you deem essential to ensure that the green transition is fair and equitable?

The latest report from the UNFCCC is an urgent clarion call urging the phased elimination of fossil fuels to avert an imminent climate crisis. To meet the commitments laid out in the Paris Agreement and keep the global temperature rise below 1.5 °C, there is no alternative: we must end the fossil fuel era. The message is clear and unequivocal: "the gradual and unceasing phasing out of fossil fuels" is not up for negotiation. We are at a pivotal turning point in the fight against climate change. Governments have a "rapidly shrinking window of opportunity" to ramp up emissions reduction initiatives before 2025 and thereby safeguard the future of our Earth. It's time for a revolutionary approach. It is imperative to promote the use of renewable energy, halt deforestation, and manage methane emissions. Let this UN report become a catalyst for meaningful and transformative actions. The world is watching; our future hangs in the balance. unfccc.int/documents/6316…
