This week, Saving the World from Bad Ideas podcast host Mark Lynas spoke all about krill fishing and super trawlers with Olivia Boyd, WePlanet's Senior Engagement Lead, and what we can do to help protect the Antarctic ourselves. Watch a clip from the episode here. #WePlanet #Podcast #Antarctica
Europe is investing in a climate resilience strategy for member states. It requires countries to complete national climate risk assessments and to submit strategic resilience plans. Plans must align with a shared warming trajectory: 1.5°C by 2030, 2°C by 2050, 3°C by 2100. shorturl.at/9u3QH
€70 billion a year: EU’s new plan to climate-proof Europe
The EU unveils a €70B annual plan to adapt infrastructure to climate risks, with new laws and digital tools to counter extreme weather.

If international agreement to end krill fishing can't be reached at this year's CCAMLR meeting, we're calling on Environment Minister Murray Watt to ban the import and sale of krill products in Australia.
Lonnie Thompson explains how the ice cores his team has collected from ice fields around the world have stories and lessons for us about microbes stored deep within ice, sometimes for up to 500,000 years. Watch or listen to the full episode on our YouTube channel --> shorturl.at/2uSwf

Norway's whale hunting has transformed into another method of killing whales — capturing their food, krill, by the hundred-thousand tonnes. There should be no fishing industry in the Antarctic. shorturl.at/H9Uql #Krill #Overfishing #Antarctica
Norway criticised for taking food from whales and penguins in Antarctica
An expert disagrees. 'Science tells us that you can harvest much more.'

Producing meat currently requires vast amounts of land, contributes to deforestation and leaves our food system vulnerable to extreme weather and disease. Cultivated meat offers another way: real meat, with the potential for a much smaller environmental footprint.
We tried cultivated meat.
What is cultivated meat, how does it taste, and could growing real meat without raising and slaughtering animals help build a more sustainable and resilient food system?

Today is World Krill Day! 🦐 To honor the invertebrate, be sure gto read our report "License to Krill" that dives into the environmental dangers of krill fishing in the Antarctic. WePlaneteers Tea and Anders are at Arendalsuka, Norway to promote the report. shorturl.at/uxSv1 #WorldKrillDay #Krill
"Despair is disempowering. Despair is what the bastards want you to feel." — hopeful, motivating words from our friend @georgemonbiot.bsky.social in @theguardian.com A reminder to remain steadfast in the belief of a better, equitable, climate-stable future. www.theguardian.com/membership/2...
Don’t despair about what’s happening to our planet. That’s what they want you to feel
There are social tipping points when the seemingly impossible suddenly becomes inevitable. Good journalism plays an essential role in helping drive these shifts and shows us how real change can happen

Earth is getting darker—and hotter. As glaciers melt and reflective cloud cover declines, our planet absorbs more of the Sun's energy. One surprising reason? Cleaner air means fewer aerosols that help form reflective clouds. Climate is full of crazy feedback loops. #WePlanet #ClimateScience
Seasonal forecast systems have been able to predict ordinary El Niño systems. Until now. The latest outlook from the ECMWF shows this El Niño event peaking around 7.2F (4C). No ensemble has ever forecast an event exceeding 5.4F (3C). Because one has never happened. shorturl.at/JljD8 #ElNino
Okay, These El Niño Forecasts Are Getting Ridiculous
This event is on track to "obliterate" the previous record.

Heatwaves don't just put people at risk — they also make it harder for nature to do its job. As temperatures rise, plants become less efficient at photosynthesis, reducing their ability to absorb CO2 just when we need it most. actu.epfl.ch/news/heatwav...
Heatwaves hinder photosynthesis
An EPFL study shows that tropical forests regularly exceed the temperatures at which photosynthesis begins to fail, threatening the planet's ability to absorb carbon dioxide.

Record summer temperatures are wreaking havoc in Europe — but we don't have to accept a fatalistic view of the future. We're not locked in yet. There is still so much to save. It's a call to action for our governments to get comfortable with new climate approaches and technologies ASAP.

Earth, seen from the far side of the moon. We are the only species that can look back at this planet and understand what we're seeing — fragile, magnificent, precious. That awareness is a gift. We have the tools. We have the ingenuity. The future is what we choose. 🌍
As we face the second global energy crisis in five years, remember: the clean energy transition is also an energy security transition. Nuclear, wind, solar and hydro make us less exposed to authoritarian regimes and global shocks. Electrification makes us more resilient.
Power banks & solar/battery charging stations have been delivered to WePlanet Ukraine & their partner, Green Youth of Ukraine. Together they are working for a cleaner, better future for Ukraine even as Putin tries to destroy their country. None of it possible without our donors. Thank you.
There are over 8 billion reasons in this photo to protect our home.
This week @marklynas.bsky.social speaks with Dr. Sylvia Earle, legendary marine biologist & oceanographer. She takes us on a journey from copper diving suite to the transformative technology of cell-cultured fish. Her message - we must choose the future we want. 🎙️Ep available now: link below.
Wealthy nations are telling Africa to stop deforestation — while millions still rely on charcoal to cook. LPG could save millions from deadly indoor air pollution & protect Africa’s forests. But it's being blocked in the name of climate action. They're effectively telling Africa to stop cooking.
