The ocean gives us food, oxygen, livelihoods, and climate regulation.

When our ocean is in crisis, so are we.
Protecting it means protecting life itself.

The world is set to exceed 1.5°C of warming.
Even if the temperature comes back down, the 🌎 may never be quite the same.
But we must not abandon the 1.5°C goal.
The higher & longer the global temperature rise, the greater the risks.

Food loss and waste has a climate cost: it generates 8–10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Food that is grown, transported and cooked but never eaten also wastes land, water & energy, while food in landfills produces methane.
Ahead of #FLWDay, see how cutting emissions also means acting to #StopFoodLossWaste: stopfoodlosswaste.org/

What we must do immediately:
1) End the use of fossil fuels
2) Build massive amounts of solar & wind
3) Electrify everything
4) Localize
5) Conserve
5) Find solutions for the last hard stuff (planes, cement)
6) Stop cutting down forests

Today, we launched the Planetary Health Check 2026. Seven of nine Planetary Boundaries are transgressed, and pressure on all seven is at its highest recorded level.
Yet, we still have a window to change course. But we need to move fast.

The current size of the Antarctic ozone hole is close to the record observed in 2015. Our forecasts suggest that it may set a new record in the coming days. The good news is that, despite its large size, the 2026 ozone hole is much shallower than the one eleven years ago.
