2025 was not a good year for environmentalists or climate scientists as action against warming faced headwinds around the world. In Japan, adaptation measures offered a rare bright spot. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/12/28/climate-change/climate-review-2025/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #climatechange #donaldtrump #us #cop30 #wildfires #heatwaves
It has been a decade since 195 countries committed in Paris to limit global temperature rise, and France has since embraced a leadership role by placing ecology at the center of its energy policy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/28/world/ten-years-after-the-paris-agreement/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #cop30 #cop21 #parisagreement #climatechange #carbonemissions #emmanuelmacron
Ten years after the #ParisAgreement was adopted, the world is still heading toward a breach of the 1.5°C limit.
Clean energy is advancing and projected warming has fallen, yet governments continue to approve fossil fuel expansion and fall short on ending deforestation.
The next decade will decide whether the Paris Agreement holds in practice or fails.

#COP30 ended without any of the breakthroughs the planet needs but people power continued to push for real climate action. What happened outside of COP is Belém’s legacy.

The planet is on track to log its second-hottest year on record in 2025, tied with 2023 after a historic high in 2024, Europe's global warming monitor said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/12/09/climate-change/tie-second-hottest-year/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #climatechange #heatwaves #extremeweather #cop30 #environment #energy #emissions

Fossil fuels like propane and isobutane, commonly used for BBQs, are helping replace potent HFC refrigerants, significantly cutting greenhouse gas emissions and showing that practical solutions can slow global warming. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/05/world/bbq-gas-cools-a-warming-planet/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #cop30 #hfcs #co2 #carbondioxide #greenhousegasses #climatechange #globalwarming #pollution
@michelmorin AI alttext est nul. Il apire à il y a trois panneaux mais il y a quatre. L'AI rate le premier dessin est un T. Rex
En haut des panneaux dir il ""COP 30 et théorie de l'évolution"
Le premiere panneau montre un T. rex
Dans le deuxièm panneau changent la queue et la patte prèse à acier
Dans le troisièm panneau changent le tête à un marteautête et les jambes à les appuis en métal

COP30 highlights leadership failures in climate policy, as most major emitters submit weak or delayed plans, while citizens and subnational actors are driving meaningful progress toward a viable energy transition. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/25/world/the-real-failure-on-climate-change/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #cop30 #climatechange #globalwarming #pollution #brazil #belem
On the sidelines of the United Nations climate talks, Brazil officially recognized an Amazonian tribe's original territory, a vast stretch of primary rainforest roughly the size of El Salvador. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/11/25/climate-change/indigenous-people-cop30/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #indigenouspeople #cop30 #brazil #environment #climatechange #un

Even with the U.S. government souring on the global climate agenda ahead of the COP30 summit, American companies did not shy away, with 60 representatives of Fortune 100 companies at the Brazil event. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/11/24/companies/us-companies-climate-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #cop30 #climatechange #environment #us #donaldtrump #pepsico
Wie soll das eigentlich funktionieren? Der Verzicht auf fossile Energieträger ist die Voraussetzung für Klimaschutz!
Erst dann stabilisiert sich die Temperatur. Das bedeutet kompletter Verzicht.
Das ist Physik. #cop30
To anyone who's been following human rights issues in #Tibet or the #Uyghur regions, or Chinese links to illegal #rareearth mining in #Laos & #Myanmar (including de-facto support for the ruthless #junta), the fact that #China derailed the inclusion of mining and critical minerals in the #COP30 #JustTransition Work Program is no surprise.
In the latest issue of @codastory newsletter, I explore this, and more.
