⚡️ Lundi, sur France info, un «expert en politique énergétique» a attribué la géante panne électrique en Espagne et au Portugal aux énergies renouvelables, qu’il a qualifiées de «péril», sans contrediction de la journaliste.

Le public des médias Bolloré a été particulièrement exposé à la désinformation climatique durant le premier trimestre 2025, selon une étude de Quota Climat, Data For Good et Science Feedback, publiée ce matin. A contrario, RFI réalise un travail remarquable.

“The case is being described by legal experts as a classic example of a Slapp – a form of civil litigation increasingly deployed by corporations, politicians and wealthy individuals to deliberately wear down and silence critics including journalists, activists and watchdog groups.”

🌳 5 key facts about forests from the @ipbes.net Assessments! 🌍🌿🧪

Forests are vitally important for people, #biodiversity and the planet. But forest area is dwindling. Learn more from the latest findings!

#ForestDay
Graphic with a misty forest background featuring the title '5 Facts About Forests from the IPBES Assessments.' The text lists five key facts: (1) 15% of global forests are managed by Indigenous Peoples & Communities, (2) deforestation is generally lower on Indigenous territories, (3) nearly 200 million people in the Asia-Pacific region depend on forests for meeting many of their needs, (4) global forest area is now approximately 68 per cent of the estimated pre-industrial level, and (5) tropical forests cover 10% of all land area and represent about half of global species richness. The IPBES logo is in the top-right corner.

💡#DYK 50% of global GDP depends moderately to highly on nature?🌍

Every dollar spent on conservation today can prevent more costly damages tomorrow.🌳

On #WorldWildlifeDay, CITES asks us to invest in our shared future!💪🧪

Learn more w/ @ipbes.net infographic ⤵️
Infographic titled "INVESTING IN PEOPLE AND PLANET: The Cost of Inaction vs. The Value of Protection" with blue/white color scheme on a solar panel background. Five key sections with yellow icons: MISALIGNED PRIORITIES: Currently ~$7 trillion annually goes to biodiversity-harmful activities versus ~$200 billion for nature protection. HIDDEN COSTS: Lists annual figures including ~$10-25 trillion in negative externalities from fossil fuels/agriculture/fisheries, ~$5.3 trillion in biodiversity-damaging financial flows, ~$1.7 trillion in harmful subsidies, and ~$100-300 billion in illegal wildlife trade. WHY IT MATTERS: States that over ~50% of global GDP (~$58 trillion) depends on nature, noting disproportionate impacts on developing countries. URGENCY OF ACTION: Notes that 10-year delay in biodiversity protection could double costs, while climate action delays could add ~$500 billion yearly in adaptation costs. INVESTMENT GAP: Shows ~$0.3-1 trillion annual biodiversity protection funding gap and ~$4+ trillion needed yearly for SDGs related to water, food, health and climate.
