I’m staggered by the lack of reaction to the IPCC report. There’s almost no significant action. I don’t think we can get it until the media screams the full truth to the public & I see almost no one in the media who understands that this is true: New tactics needed urgently.

Atmospheric levels of the three main greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide - reached new highs in 2021.
We are headed for disaster.
We need urgent, large-scale & systemic #ClimateAction now.

Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals.
But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels.
Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness.
É gravar isto como bookmark, fazer retweet, e pensar como oferecer um rollup da thread para oferecer ao @Angelo_fPereira e @Moedas.

If your response to hearing cyclists die due to unsafe road conditions is to say this an unfortunate but inevitable reality in order for us to have cars, then I know you understand when I say killing parking spaces is an unfortunate but inevitable reality for us to have bikes.
E @CamaraLisboa , a “Capital Verde Europeia 2020”? Orgulhosamente a fazer o seu caminho à cauda da Europa. 💪💪⬇️⬇️⬇️
Paris
Madrid
Oslo
Brussels
Barcelona
Edinburgh
Ghent
Birmingham
All these cities (& more each year) have in place, or are creating, smart centre city strategies that are being described as “car-free” or “banning the car.”
None ban cars. All want to tame them.
Details matter.

The answer to the question “what’s the single most important thing that mayors can do to tackle climate change?” is simple.
Spoiler Alert: no @Moedas , it’s not LEDs.

In this moment of peril, I must underscore my duty as Secretary-General to uphold the @UN Charter.
The Charter is clear.
Any annexation of a State’s territory by another State resulting from the threat or use of force is a violation of the Principles of the Charter & int’l law.

This is Stockholm’s 🇸🇪 1-Minute-City.
It’s about so much more than traffic calming.
It’s about nurturing social cohesion by putting human interactions back at the centre of communities and developing the full potential of streets👇👇
Isto precisa de ser legislado… @ambiente_pt
Durante o último inverno realizaram-se mais de 100 mil "voos fantasma" (sem passageiros) destinados apenas a cumprir os SLOTS, direito de aterrar e descolar num determinado aeroporto. Esse direito cessa se 80% dos voos previstos não forem realizados. Inútil agressão ambiental
Tão isto, e não é obviamente exclusivo para os Estados Unidos.

Climate change seems to have been dropped as a priority by many decision makers around the world.
This week at #UNGA, I am calling for global #ClimateAction to reverse this trend.
We don’t have much time to turn things around.

The 'binnenring' is a transformative vision to improve walking, cycling and public transport around the Canal Ring of Amsterdam.
When all 14 sub-projects are complete in 2026, it will form a ‘green belt’—where cars are guests at 30 km/h—across the entire width of the inner city. – at Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Muito bom artigo. Não são só boas notícias, há problemas a serem resolvidos, tal como aqui. A diferença é a visão e a execução. Excelente, Paris.
Between 2021 & 2026, Paris will gain 180 kilometers (112 miles) of new permanent segregated bike lanes, & bike parking spots will more than triple, with 180,000 more added to the 2021 total of 60,000.
