In its bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the G7 summit, Japan conveyed condolences to G7 partner Italy for the devastating rains Italy experienced this week.
Will the G7 do more than express condolences to prepare for the next disaster?

The G7 at Hiroshima will need to not only respond to these shocks but focus on prevention and preparedness, not least on the "triple crises" of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, starting by stopping the proliferation of fossil fuels and other drivers.

Still, the G7 will discuss the "polycrises" the world faces: climate change and the environment, the energy and digital transitions, debt, development, health, democracy, gender and more.

G7 leaders at Hiroshima will make many important commitments on non-proliferation and regional security, and the impact of Russia's war on Ukraine.
With the breaking news today that Zelensky will be at the G7 summit in person, this will push the G7 to support Ukraine further

Since 1975, the G7 has made commitments on an expanding array of subjects.
But at Hiroshima they will fall short of curbing climate change and health insecurity.

Eel is a popular food in Japan. But it’s also an endangered species.
Media at the G7 Hiroshima Summit are being treated to plant-based eel as an alternative - oishī!

Another wake-up call for world leaders to inject urgency in delivering on their climate commitments, if we are to have any hope of keeping 1.5 alive

~90% of global ammonia emissions are emitted from agricultural sources ( fertilizers & animal manure)
NH3 leads to tens of thousands of deaths annually due to the air pollution it creates

Climate scientists! What are the stories/ facts/ frameworks you either don't see in the media or see distorted and misrepresented, the things you wish people knew? How do you want to see public awareness deepened and shifted?

"There is just no excuse for the rise in methane emissions last year"
It would take less than a tiny fraction of oil companies' revenues to minimize their methane emissions in the short term, but I guess they just don't feel like it....#climatechange
Don't be fooled when fossil fuel apologists say natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel and therefore better for the climate - it may burn cleaner than coal but it is not good for the planet or for your health. #disinformation #climatechange
Very important. Now lots of evidence that positive, simple stories of a healthy and green future for all - repeated often by nurses, doctors, scientists and other trusted voices - is the most effective climate communication.

Everything we call civilization was invented in the last 500 generations—way too short a time for our bodies and brains to re-optimize. We're a bunch of primates in a totally unnatural environment, trying our best. Good thing to keep in mind!

The capacity of nature's carbon sinks — oceans and land — to absorb CO2 emissions is diminishing, due to the fossil fuel industry and its supporters.
Reforestation, not CCSU, is buffering this trend.
Fossil fuel divestment and nature protection need to be amped up together.
