Close to 40% of all data centers in the world are in the US, and more are being built rapidly⚡ Within the US, 60% of all data centers are in just 10 states. How will this rapid growth affect communities in the short and long term? Seven key impacts: bit.ly/4dB6pxZ

Failure to mobilize finance risks constraining climate action across all sectors. To get on track for 2030, the world must scale up total climate finance and end public finance for fossil fuels. Read the #StateOfClimateAction 2025 report to learn more: bit.ly/4o6hPwm

The UK has confirmed sweeping aid cuts, including across Africa and the Middle East, while scaling back international climate finance and dropping a previous £3bn nature commitment. 📖 Full statement from Edward Davey: bit.ly/4lMG1n2

$1.9T flowed to #climatefinance in 2023, but stronger governance is still needed. Gaps remain in project-level disclosure, community participation and accountability. Strengthening #opengovernance is key to ensuring climate investments deliver impact 👉 bit.ly/4s3lqg4

🔥 What happens if we pass 1.5°C of warming? A decade after the #ParisAgreement, record heat and new data show just how close we are to breaching this critical threshold. @WRIClimate breaks it down: bit.ly/407FBhk

What if agricultural waste could help remove carbon from the atmosphere? 🌱 Startups are turning crop residues and forest waste into long term carbon removal using biomass carbon removal and storage (#BiCRS). Learn how it works: bit.ly/49uhoXJ #CarbonRemoval

Climate impacts are intensifying. Emissions are rising. Finance is shrinking 🌡️ What will it take to unlock real climate progress? In a recent #ACT webinar, experts shared solutions to move beyond fossil fuels and strengthen climate law: bit.ly/46xJLSZ
