In 2021, @ipcc.bsky.social set out the state of the climate system and the “unequivocal” role of humans in changing it.
Since then, CO2 emissions and global warming have continued and the need for up-to-date and trustworthy information on the climate is more important than ever ❗

Governments spend 9 times more on #fossilfuels than on #cleanenergy. We must find new and innovative sources to massively boost #climatefinance, deliver justice, and protect people from the present and future risks of #climatechange.

"A Flawed Compromise", is how Li Shuo of the Asia Society Policy Institute, sums up the #COP29 finance text. Geopolitical tensions tested climate justice in Baku, yielding a shaky deal. EU and China's coordination steadied the talks, but Trump’s return heightens 2025 risks. Inaction is not an option
