COP28 opens tomorrow with a resounding call to accelerate global climate action.

Even in the most optimistic scenario of current climate plans, the likelihood of limiting warming to 1.5°C is only 14%.
A new @UNEP report warns: Nations must urgently reduce emissions or we might face global warming of 2.5-2.9°C.

Heartbreaking. And this is only the beginning of what may be coming for the regions devastating climate impacts — directly hitting the most vulnerable, and least responsible for this crisis.
The @UN is calling deadly floods in #Libya a “calamity of epic proportions” noting the latest figures suggesting more than 5,000 people dead and about 10,000 who have been reported missing.

Solastalgia: the feeling of loss and melancholia that kicks in as your home environment changes before your eyes ... the deep emotional and psychological distress that more people will confront as global warming drives their climate past recognition.

A rainbow appeared over Yellowknife. Virtually everyone left in the city took it as a sign from the gods – and sent us a photo.

Global floods & fires this summer must surely show all governments that it’s too expensive not to take immediate & massive action on climate.
Stopping new fossil fuels is essential.
We have the solutions to a better future.

Live updates from our reporters on Friday during a critical 24 hours in the NWT's race to evacuate Yellowknife before a wildfire can reach the city.

My sister is still in Yellowknife because she is a nurse at the hospital and is helping to evacuate patients. Now might be a good time to order military aircraft to start airlifting people out of Yellowknife. @BillBlair @JustinTrudeau
A mercy flight taking Yellowknife hospital patients to safety was cancelled, leaving nurses unsure how they'll safely leave in the face of an oncoming wildfire.

Worried about everyone in the Northwest Territories, especially my mom, brother-in-law and niece (who are evacuating Yellowknife by car this morning) and my sister (who is a nurse so she has to stay behind to help evacuate patients from the hospital). 💕cabinradio.ca/142263/news/ye…

"Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning."

We need more ambitious action against the climate emergency. Now.

Sometimes a crisis hits so hard that a country needs help from others to overcome it. That’s not one-way humanitarian saviourism, it’s international solidarity. 200 South African firefighters land in Edmonton, Canada to help fight the wildfire. Sound up 🔊

Right, because climate crisis has a passport.
