#Turkey #COP31 Lignite is the lowest grade of coal, meaning burning it releases higher amounts of carbon dioxide than more energy-dense coal Last year, coal was Turkey’s largest electricity source, generating 34% of the country’s power, making Turkey Europe’s biggest coal-fired electricity generator https://www.kslm.news/news/turkish-villagers-demand-cop31-leaders-see-for-themselves-devastation-caused-by-coal-mw7msts0 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#USA #US But in truth, the US betrayal on climate has always been much, much bigger than Trump The multiple veto points that exist across its legislative system - as well as the strength of its fossil-fuel lobby – mean that the US never developed the same political consensus around climate action as occurred in the UK and EU (text available in “reading mode”) https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/cop31-turkey-antalya-cliamte-change-trump-conference-b3080710.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#canada Canada's 2026 federal budget is focused on driving investment, boosting the economy, and making life more affordable for Canadians. Sustainable development is critical to achieving these goals and, while there are positive commitments on this front, funding is notably absent when it comes to climate adaptation measures https://www.iisd.org/articles/statement/canada-budget-2026-invests-electricity-leaves-climate-adaptation #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

If you belong to a professional body, ask it three questions. Does its code of conduct mention climate change? Does the training you need to stay qualified cover it? Where is your pension invested? If the answers are no, no and don’t know, our paper sets out how your profession could change them https://theconversation.com/from-doctors-and-teachers-to-lawyers-every-profession-has-a-duty-to-align-with-climate-goals-294914 #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#Brazil One year after COP30, in Belém, cities across Brazil have already begun turning climate commitments into action. Across different regions of the country, mayors are turning targets into projects, transforming transport, waste management, and the use of public funds and preparedness for the impacts of climate change, in a year marked by a super El Niño. Seven Brazilian cities are working to implement climate budgeting https://www.c40.org/news/brazilian-cities-accelerate-urban-climate-action-as-cop30-implementation-legacy-consolidates-at-the-local-level/ #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate
