Dismantle the difference between inner & outer worlds. Whole is the mantra for this connection age!!!

In 3 yrs this #solar installation at an Arkansas high school turned the district’s budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to pay teachers more We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #climate #NoWarNoWarming

@douglewinenergy The China effect!?

Something remarkable just happened in Pakistan. In only 8 months, citizens built the equivalent of half the country’s national electric grid, without waiting for government or utilities. How? ☀️ Cheap solar panels ☀️ TikTok tutorials showing how to install them ☀️ Farmers leading the way, swapping diesel pumps for solar The results: ✅ Diesel sales dropped 35% in one year ✅ Families slashed costs and gained energy independence ✅ National demand on the grid actually declined because of so much distributed generation This isn’t just about Pakistan. It’s a glimpse of how fast the world can shift when technology gets cheap enough and people take energy into their own hands. These are the kinds of numbers that change the world. 🎧 Full Energy Capital Podcast episode with Bill McKibben here: tinyurl.com/mwmackr2 #EnergyTransition #Solar #Pakistan #EnergyCapitalPodcast

Why the IPCC’s upcoming special report on cities matters for South-east Asia straitstimes.com/singapore/comm…

@IPCC_CH @Cities_IPCC

Cities are at the heart of the climate challenge—and the solution. Our new Commentary in The Straits Times straitstimes.com/singapore/comm…

#IPCC Working Group II and Working Group III Co-Chairs Winston Chow from #Singapore and Joy Pereira from #Malaysia have encouraged more #climate experts from the South-East Asian region to contribute to the IPCC reports in this cycle. More ➡️ bit.ly/3UrLz9Z

It will be important to support developing countries to articulate how adaptation responses will be critical to achieving their long-term development vision. blogs.adb.org/blog/climate-c…

Today our TSU in #Singapore was graced with the arrival of the whole set of @IPCC_CH #AR6 reports. Finally feels we're in business! #WorkingGroupII

The call for authors for the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities is now open! We are looking for nominees for Coordinating Lead Authors, Lead Authors, and Review Editors by September 20th. ipcc.ch/2024/08/08/aut… #IPCC #SRCities

📣 IPCC is calling for authors to contribute to the Special Report on #ClimateChange & Cities, scheduled for release in 2027. 📺 #IPCC Vice-Chair @DianaUrge stresses the need for diversity of scientific disciplinary & regional perspectives. 🔗 bit.ly/PR24AC

Texas is making grounds with solar and wind even though it is known as oil state.

Our response?

@harjeet11 @LossandDamage @gcdcj @ituc @CANIntl @ciel_tweets @boell_us @WGC_Climate @ESCRNet @ActionAid @fossiltreaty please make sure that the rich countries do not camouflage loans to vulnerable countries into loss and damage or other climate funds.

Attending the First Board meeting of the #LossAndDamage Fund in Abu Dhabi, starting now. Details here: unfccc.int/event/first-me… My comment: "As the newly formed Board convenes to establish the governance of the Loss and Damage Fund, it is crucial that they demonstrate their commitment to rapidly escalating financial contributions, well beyond the initial pledges of a few hundred million. "With the stark reality of intensifying climate impacts, vulnerable communities cannot afford to wait. Rich countries must provide hundreds of billions annually with the speed and scale necessary for the recovery and rebuilding of lives and livelihoods shattered by climate crises in poorer nations." #ClimateJustice #ClimateFinance

33c feels like 50c right now in Chittagong, Bangladesh due to high humidity effect.

Brilliant cartoon!

@tveitdal ...and yet we protect today's dollars by any means

Cost of environmental damage will be six times higher than price of limiting global heating to 2C, study finds theguardian.com/environment/20…

@thewisebot @ArnoldBeekes @G_S_Bhogal Hope you are well, Arnold! Politicians change their opinions often not as a sign of learning but they are opportunists. Though I get your point:-)

Changing your opinion is often regarded as a sign of weakness, but it should be a source of pride, because it means you’re capable of learning. - @G_S_Bhogal

@tveitdal Not to mention that Texas is already a leader in wind energy in USA.

Texas has become an early hot spot for geothermal energy exploration as scores of former oil industry workers and executives are taking their knowledge to a new energy source. texastribune.org/2024/03/26/tex…

Slowdown, take a pause, and then decide! theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
