This clock isn’t a countdown to the apocalypse. It’s a countdown to our target to reduce emissions 45% by 2030. The science is clear: every bit of warming we can avoid makes a difference, and that’s why every action matters 💪🏻❤️ #climatechange #nycclimateweek

We all contribute to climate change, but our contributions aren't equal. 💰 The richest 1% produce more than twice the carbon emissions of the poorest 50%. 🌍 People in countries like Australia, Canada and the US emit over 20x the carbon of those in many low-income countries.

Amazing to see the warming stripes from @ed_hawkins on the #Berlin trams. It’s a part of public life; a billboard constantly moving around the city. Starting conversation and encouraging public transport. #ShowYourStripes
