España arde.

Ya van quemadas más de 348.000 hectáreas (3.480 km2) este año. Equivalente a casi la mitad de la superficie de la Comunidad de Madrid (8.028 km2). Es 6 veces más de lo quemado el año pasado y la peor cifra de los últimos 20 años.

From Madrid, you can reach Paris in under 10h — but the price gap vs. flying is staggering:

✈️ Paris–Madrid: from €44 (2h15)
🚆 Paris–Madrid: from €151 (9h51)

Would you choose the train over flying if prices were competitive?

Countries, civil society, press... We are all worried about #COP30 becoming inaccessible.

The choice of the Amazonian city of Belem for its symbolism rather than its capacity to host the biggest annual climate event is hitting @cop30brazil.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

¡Qué tristeza! Ha fallecido Rémi Parmentier, ambientalista, incansable defensor del océano y una buena persona. Humilde, amable y comprometido como pocos, su legado seguirá con nosotros y nos dará fuerza para no tirar la toalla ante las dificultades.

Mi más sentido pésame a su familia y amigos.

Back in Bonn, a second home to me.

The UN Climate Conference #SB62 starts tomorrow: 10 days of negotiations on climate finance, adaptation, transparency, Article 6, etc.

Why it matters for COP30 and beyond? We explain it here:

¿Sabías que el 28% de la contaminación por plásticos viene del desgaste de los neumáticos?

No podemos resolver el cambio climático, la contaminación plástica y la minería marina por separado. Todo está interconectado.

Carbon markets promise climate action—but poorly managed, they threaten land rights and fuel land grabs.

When the power went out, so did phones, internet — even water in many municipalities.

Our systems are deeply connected. But dangerously unprepared.

Cuando cayó la luz, cayeron también los teléfonos, internet… y el agua en muchos pueblos.

Nuestros sistemas están interconectados, pero no preparados para choques como el de esta semana.

Fading to green!

What a gret data visualisation from Dominic Royé @drxeo.eu showing how fast renewables are growing in Spain's 🔌 mix.

In Spain, we say "green is the colour of hope", and that's so true when it comes to decarbonising, and building resilience & independence.

Two steps back, one leap forward… 🤗🇨🇦

@mark-carney.bsky.social as Canada’s next PM is a rare win for climate action. He made bankers, investors & policymakers see that climate risk = financial risk—turning sustainability into a business imperative.

All the best to him!

As a journalist, I can't stay silent seeing such an outrageous abuse of power from the Trump administration against @apnews.com, banning them from covering official events because they keep calling the Gulf of Mexico as such. This is unacceptable and should be called out. cpj.org/2025/02/cpj-...

Hi, everyone!

I am new to this platform, please bear with me if I don't get how it works yet.

I will be sharing news and professional updates, hopefully useful to someone here.

Any tips on how to understand how it works and what is different from x, beyond the obvious good vibes, are welcome 😅
