In 2024, the DRC experienced an uptick in primary forest loss, according to Global Forest Watch.
Subsistence agriculture continues to be the main driver of forest loss, with recent research finding artisanal mining in the eastern DRC results in more forest loss than previously thought.

Astonishingly, sea ice still hasn't started to reform over the Barents Sea area yet of the #Arctic. This includes record low conditions around Svalbard as well. It's been a very bad few months across the region.

Abruptly ending all fossil fuel use would trigger the most severe food crisis in human history.
The Haber-Bosch process alone underpins roughly half of global food production. Then there's transportation, processing, storage, harvesting, tilling, irrigation, storage, diesel for fishing trawlers etc
