Interesting that UK shown as one of the countries least at risk to the 'climate crisis'
Fossil fuel companies like Equinor and E.ON have received two thirds more passes to #COP30 than all the delegates from the 10 most climate-vulnerable nations combined, highlighting how industry presence continues to overshadow that of those on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

Fossil CO2 emissions continue to rise in 2025 while the terrestrial carbon sink recovers to pre-El Niño strength.
The key findings are covered in two reports this year:

Good news: more than 50% of the world’s economies have seen carbon emissions from fossil fuel power generation peaking. And with the speed of change in the electricity sector many more will join this growing list in coming years.

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

Really the only downside to having an electric cargo bike is inevitably becoming boringly evangelical about how good they are 😅 If you’re thinking about it, do it. Zero regrets.
Love this on e-cargo bikes & family life:
“Forgoing a second car may have been the reason we bought it, but it was simply more fun to see my son grinning on the bike.”
“You see the joy that the kids get out of it, the time you get to spend with them … [and] it encourages you to use it more.”

Load and behold: should you opt for an electric cargo bike over a second car?
Cargo ebikes are ideal for the millions of short-distance car trips Australians take every day. Here’s how to make one work for you
