It is a breath of fresh air to have H.E. Razan Al Mubarak - who straddles climate and #biodiversity, and who works with indigenous wisdom and women's participation - as the #COP28 UN Climate Change High-Level Champion.

As I said in my speech at #GWS23, the disruption of the global water cycle is the main CONSEQUENCE, not cause, of climate change; hence water (floods/droughts) is the main indicator of how deep the impact of climate change is on life on Earth. We must adapt now. #wateradaptation

Record-breaking temperatures in the mediterranean last week, Vietnam recording highest ever temp of 44.1C on Sunday- as @CFigueres & @tomcarnac noted in last week's podcast, Kim Stanley-Robinson's #TheMinistryfortheFuture is becoming less science fiction by the minute.

As the Crown Prince, Charles mobilized many in support of the Paris Agreement, stating it "should be seen as a new Magna Carta for the Earth, and humanity’s relationship with it" He is now King, and not short on calling for increased action and responsibility. Long live the King!

While it's bad enough that we're not seeing more policies to radically reduce emissions, these kinds of policies that allow for the increase of emissions really are madness.
