2/3 2.6°C would likely trigger major tipping points that would cause the collapse of key Atlantic Ocean circulation, loss of coral reefs, long-term deterioration of ice sheets & the conversion of the Amazon rainforest to a savannah, a place where more than 30 million people live.

1/3 In 1995, the first COP gathering was held in Berlin. Thirty years later we are on track to reach 2.6°C.

Where is the political will to do anything about it?

1/3 Hundreds of people stormed through security lines at the COP30 climate talks in Belém, Brazil, reflecting deep-rooted anger at the sidelining of Indigenous groups from talks that directly affect their lands and livelihoods.

We've joined over 100 organisations calling on the new Home Secretary to unite communities.

Scapegoating refugees won’t fix inequality, housing shortages, or a crumbling NHS. Real solutions will.

2/3 Joined by people online & in-person over two days, panel discussions & talks centred around the fact that our cost-of-living and climate crises have been held back by a misunderstanding of the freedom & capacity the UK government has to fund these solutions, as well as what we can do about it.

"We ask you then to let the Empire go its own way; let those who own it fight its battles. It is not yours, you are but its slaves, and surely there is nothing in creation meaner than slaves fighting for the source and basis of their enslavement."

2/2 Extreme heat has become a regular feature of life across the world, but the way it is felt depends on who you are and where you live; with working class people being hit the hardest and taking the longest to recover from its impacts - and that's even if they can recover at all.

1/2 New article on the website ✍️

Failure to invest in necessary protections from heat and heatwaves, from enforceable labour standards to climate resilient infrastructure, amounts to institutional abandonment.

"The failure to act on this front is not due to lack of knowledge or options, it is a failure of political will. Continuing to pretend that aviation can decarbonise while growing unchecked is nothing short of a dangerous delusion."
