We're nearly halfway through the 2020s, dubbed the most decisive decade for action on climate change. Where exactly do things stand? Climate impact scholar Johan Rockström offers the most up-to-date scientific assessment of the state of the planet and explains what must be done to preserve Earth's resilience to human pressure.

For many of us the climate crisis mainly calls to mind rising global temperatures, but the crisis goes far beyond this – we are at risk of pushing our planet across climate ‘tipping points,’ critical thresholds where small changes can lead to abrupt and irreversible shifts in the Earth’s climate system. One major element in climate tipping is a huge system of ocean currents, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which is responsible for Europe's relatively mild climate. Past climate patterns show that these currents can switch abruptly between today’s vigorous flow and a much weaker flow state. A future shutdown would have potentially devastating consequences in Europe and around the world.

Le sommet européen Climate Chance Europe 2024 s'est déroulé les 8 et 9 février 2024 à Liège. Sur l'invitation de M. Philippe Henry, vice-président de la Wallonie et ministre du Climat, de l’Énergie, de la Mobilité et des Infrastructures, dans le cadre de la présidence belge du Conseil de l'Union européenne, j'ai eu l'honneur de donner un discours lors de la séance plénière d'ouverture. En voici la vidéo.

Le débat a été modéré par Vinz Kanté, fondateur du média Limit Il s'est tenu à l'espace Talk C.E.C., chaussée de Wavre 143 à Ixelles où l'exposition Mers et Océans sera ouverte jusqu'au 7 juillet (https://talk-cec.com) Quelles sont les solutions proposées par nos politiques pour faire face à l'urgence climatique ? Après le mot de bienvenue de Talk C.E.C. et l'introduction de Rise for Climate, nous avons invité les candidats à présenter leur bilan du Pacte vert européen au cours du mandat 2019-2024 et leur programme climat pour le prochain mandat 2024-2029. Ensuite les collectifs Rise for Climate, Youth for Climate, Grands Parents pour le climat, Extinction Rebellion, et Mouvement d'Action Paysanne ont posé leurs questions ainsi que le public présent dans la salle.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate put out a new report a few days ago, in which they warn that climate misinformation continuous to flourish on YouTube. They want YouTube to take more action. I had a look and I don't like what I read.

Dr. Michael E. Mann is Presidential Distinguished Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania, with a secondary appointment in the Annenberg School for Communication. He is director of the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability, and the Media (PCSSM). Dr. Mann received his undergraduate degrees in Physics and Applied Math from the University of California at Berkeley, an M.S. degree in Physics from Yale University, and a Ph.D. in Geology & Geophysics from Yale University. His research interests include the study of Earth's climate system and the science, impacts and policy implications of human-caused climate change.

This week, the world broke the daily temperature record. This is yet another demonstration that climate change is out of control and one reason more for increased #ClimateAction ambition and justice. Emissions continue to grow while leaders persist in delaying the key measures needed to change this. This is the moment when we all need to assume our responsibilities. #climatechange

Stop Ecocide, Greenpeace, Canopea ou encore Rise for Climate et Youth for Climate, entre autres, organisent la première marche pour la biodiversité le 21 mai à Bruxelles, annonce Greenpeace dans un communiqué mercredi. Les organisations ont décidé de mener cette action à l'occasion de la journée internationale de la biodiversité.

Nouveau "TALK" sur LIMIT avec Adélaïde Charlier, étudiante à la VUB & U-GENT en sciences politiques et sciences sociales. Elle est devenue célèbre en tant que co-fondatrice et porte-parole de Youth for Climate Belgium, un mouvement de jeunes qui a organisé des marches pour le climat dans de nombreuses villes belges. Devenue le visage des marches pour le climat en Belgique, nous discutons du monde de l'activisme, ses débuts, ses combats et sa vision de l'avenir dans un monde où les mensonges, le greenwashing et la désinformation s'organisent pour conserver le business as usual.

IPCC Press Conference - Climate Change 2023: Synthesis Report

UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for strengthened international solidarity to address pressing global issues. "My objective is to make it clear that …we need cooperation, we need dialogue, and the present terrible geopolitical divides are not allowing it to happen. We need to change course," Mr. Guterres said in a wide-ranging interview with UN News ahead of the General Assembly's annual high-level week. The UN chief is just back from a solidarity visit to flood-ravaged Pakistan, where he called repeatedly for fast – and serious – to not only end what he called "climate carnage" but to provide more support for the countries that are the most-impacted but have done very little to cause the phenomenon.

Climate scientists are clear that it’s already too late to go back to the kind of weather we used to have, but can we stop things from getting a whole lot worse? Professor Michael E Mann – from Penn State university in the United States – and author of ‘The New Climate War’ explains the radical change needed to avert catastrophic temperature rises.

More climate scientists say emissions cuts are not enough and we face imminent catastrophe unless deliberately altering the climate. What are the options and challenges? Jem Bendell interviewed Dr Ye Tao who is proposing we use massive amounts of mirrors to reduce harm in the short term.

This was filmed at a UN press conference during the final days of COP26.
