Personally, I wouldn't have picked polar bears. But cool that @BBC and @Minecraft have teamed up to engage kids with #ClimateAction. We need more creative collaborations to tackle this crisis. unfccc.int/blog/game-on #COP27

Question: Is the overlap between COP27 and G20 creating synergy or distraction? Intentionally or accidentally?

Countries’ ability to produce staple crops and feed the world will become increasingly challenging with climate change. #Breadbaskets #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency #30DayMapChallenge (Day15: Food) (🗺️: @cmshintani, 📊: Monica Caparas)

Got to spend some time this morning with one of our panelists, @Climate_Sharon, and I'm even more excited now. We're bringing together leading climate scientists and youth women activists to share perspectives on the intertwining fates of people and landscapes across the globe.

I have just warned global leaders at #COP27: We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator. Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. We need urgent #ClimateAction.

BREAKING: at #COP27, the UN Secretary General’s high-level expert group is releasing a new standard to turn empty net-zero commitments into meaningful climate action. Stick with me for details - it’s very good news 🧵
