Important vote for supporting effective climate action. There is a need to ensure plans go beyond greenwashing - and that the GHG reduction outcomes are measured. Expanded GHG observations are crucial dimension of meeting these objectives
Should the 🇪🇺 EU require mandatory #NetZero transition plans for financial institutions? Yes, say @pierregarrault & @cesaro_pietro in a new blog ahead of a crucial @Europarl_EN vote on climate-related risks.

With average annual global temperatures hovering around 1.1 to 1.3 degrees, we are already seeing the consequences of small changes in global warming. Latest BIOdiversity COP in Montreal called for more actions to protect our planet's species against backdrop of global warming
There are some promising signs following the outcomes of COP27 with policies and commitments to keep global warming below 2.5 degrees. Monitoring and reporting by WMO and IPCC on latest trends and science is important to remind us of the pressing requirement to do more.
Highlights the importance of sustaining real-time meteorological observations against a backdrop of what we should expect (climate). 400-600% highlights that trends of what we have observed in the past is not necessarily a reflection of what we can expect in the future.

"We are losing biodiversity at a rate unparrelled in human history." Global wildlife populations have sunk over 60% since 1970.
We are destroying ourselves and taking nature with us.
Time to protect people and the planet.
