New research by the University of East Anglia (UEA) reveals what countries think will be their most difficult to decarbonise sectors when they reach net zero, with #agriculture expected to be responsible for the largest remaining #emissions: citiplat.org/post/net-zero-…

No one escapes #PFAS chemicals. They make it into the kitchen or onto the dining room table in the form of non-stick cookware, microwave popcorn bags, fast-food burger wrappers and pizza boxes. citiplat.org/post/usa-pfas-…

Accurate, high-quality #information offered to the public through professional #journalism has a positive influence on #democracy, civic engagement, accountability of government entities and the fight against #corruption. citiplat.org/post/unesco-re…

New research involving the #UniversityofEastAnglia (UEA) suggests that countries’ current plans to remove #CO2 from the #atmosphere will not be enough to comply with the 1.5 ºC warming limit set out under the Paris Agreement. citiplat.org/post/research-…

As the @UNESCO Conference for #WorldPressFreedomDay unfolds in #Santiago, Chile, from May 2nd to May 4th, 2024, Citiplat stands at the forefront, orchestrating a series of impactful initiatives: citiplat.org/post/citizens-…

A new study conducted by the Netherlands-based research group Profundo and U.S.-based environmental organization @foe_us examines U.S. banks’ financing of #meat, #dairy, and feed corporations and the sizable #climateimpact of that financing. citiplat.org/post/new-study…

#Fossilfuelcompanies are well established as founts of #disinformation, agents of obstruction, and drivers of #climatechange: citiplat.org/post/us-climat…

A collection of eight studies shows that the risks of #drought, #flooding, declines in crop yields, and loss of #biodiversity and natural capital greatly increase for each additional degree of #globalwarming. citiplat.org/post/how-clima…

#KobeCity has a history of serious #airpollution. Many people still suffer from #respiratorydiseases like chronic bronchitis, asthmatic bronchitis, and emphysema. In addition, the area’s industry is also emitting enormous amounts of #CO2. citiplat.org/post/residents…

New research shows that #Brazil achieved “positive environmental strides” in the #Amazon in 2023, with the number of deforestation fires at a five-year low. citiplat.org/post/brazil-po…

The #banks have a huge role to play. They can either choose to be part of the #solution or, to borrow from Jamie Dimon, they can continue to propel us down the road to hell. citiplat.org/post/us-banks-…

The #pollution is the result of incomplete burning of #biomass including #firewood, crop residue or animal dung, in inefficient stoves that do not allow adequate oxygen for combustion located in a confined space inside #homes. citiplat.org/post/breathing…

Working with #nature brings numerous co-benefits. Such solutions can provide sources of #food and fibre critical to local #livelihoods, while protecting biodiversity. citiplat.org/post/working-w…

If university researchers feel disempowered about #climateaction what hope is there for everyone else?citiplat.org/post/the-role-…

Since its premiere at the September 2022 @TIFF_NET, Daniel Goldhaber’s #HowtoBlowUpaPipeline has generated several debates and can be called without doubt the most controversial movie about #climatechange ever made. citiplat.org/post/how-to-bl…

#EatingOurWaytoExtinction wants to denounce the dangers related to #meat and #fish mass consumption, but also to present a simple solution that everyone can adopt citiplat.org/post/eating-ou…

The #empowerment of #women in #agriculture is key to overall #economicproductivity, given the majority, 84.3% percent of women with any form of employment work in the agriculture sector. citiplat.org/post/climate-s…

@UNESCO, in partnership with the International Federation for Journalists, have designed a survey on the safety and protection of #environmentaljournalists. You answers are important! citiplat.org/post/survey-to…

"From my experience, #women are fundamental to #climateleadership, so I wholeheartedly encourage any #youngwoman to keep at it." @izabella_koz citiplat.org/post/women-of-… #citiplat
