Forests safeguarded by Indigenous Peoples are among the planet’s greatest carbon regulators. Yet their protection depends on legal recognition and demarcation of Indigenous territories, the most effective climate policy still awaiting global commitment. #COP30 #IndigenousRights

We are wildly unprepared to think about and manage water as the precious and limited resource it truly is.
Because electricity is more costly for data centers than water, companies often prioritize building their facilities in places with cheap power, even if the area is drought stricken. “Water is an afterthought”...The thinking is, ‘Someone will figure that out later.’”

The Walande community is running out of space to grow food and build homes. Sea level rise threatens the viability of low-lying land for growing swamp taro crops and a collapsing seawall could push the indigenous Solomon Islands community further inland.

Finally, a study just this week finds that two-thirds of all WARMING (not just emissions) is attributable to the wealthiest 10%.
Authors also find that the top 1% richest contributed 26x more to increases in monthly 1-in-100-year heat extremes globally and 17x times more to Amazon droughts.

Brief tangent:
I'm often asked why US evangelicals are so opposed to climate action, when it aligns so well with Biblical mandates to take responsibility for all living things and love each other as we've been loved by God.
Well guess what - fossil fuels were involved in that, too.

But what if we counted emissions by company instead?
After all, every ton of coal, oil & gas burned was extracted + sold by companies that profited while avoiding responsibility for the damage.
In 2016, Heede showed that just 90 companies were responsible for 2/3 of carbon emissions since 1850.

Who's responsible for the climate crisis?
Two new studies try to answer this question: but whichever way we slice it, the answer doesn't change much.
The wealthiest are disproportionately responsible for the greatest emissions, and that's why climate change is so unfair.
