?? COP29: The Turning Point for Article 6.4 and Global Carbon Markets ?? At COP29 in Baku, nations took a major step by operationalizing Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement. This framework aims to create a robust global carbon market—but is it ready to deliver? While progress was made, critical gaps in transparency, enforcement, and permanence leave much to be desired. The challenge now lies in ensuring that this mechanism becomes a tool for real climate action, not a loophole for greenwashing. With COP30 on the horizon, the pressure is on for stronger oversight and bold decisions. Can Article 6.4 live up to its potential? #COP29 #ParisAgreement #CarbonMarkets #ClimateAction #Sustainability

?? Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement: A game-changer in global climate policy! ?? Building on the Clean Development Mechanism, Article 6.4 introduces a market-based approach to drive sustainable development, enhance accountability, and achieve ambitious emission reductions. ??

Biochar and Carbon Removal: Biochar is a carbon-rich material derived from biomass through pyrolysis. It plays a significant role in carbon removal and soil enhancement, offering scalable solutions for addressing climate change. #Biochar #CarbonRemoval #ClimateSolutions #NetZero #Sustainability

?? Climate Change Alert: Earth's Days Getting Longer ?? Recent studies reveal a concerning consequence of climate change: Earth's days are lengthening due to melting polar ice, driven by global heating. This affects Earth's natural rhythms and infrastructure like satellite navigation and financial systems. Abbas Mashaollah, CEO of Solaxy Group, stresses the need for urgent global action to mitigate these impacts. Without action, Earth's day could lengthen significantly by 2100, surpassing lunar tides in driving day length variations. Let's prioritize sustainability and innovation to safeguard our planet's future. Together, we can shape a sustainable world for generations. #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Innovation #SolaxyGroup

In many areas, glaciers provide communities and ecosystems with a reliable source of streamflow and drinking water. Glaciers are an important climate change indicator because physical changes in glaciers—whether they are growing or shrinking, advancing or receding—provide visible evidence of changes in temperature and precipitation. If glaciers lose more ice than they can accumulate through new snowfall, they ultimately add more water to the oceans, leading to a rise in sea level. On average, glaciers worldwide have been losing mass since at least the 1970s, which in turn has contributed to observed changes in sea levels. The rate at which glaciers are losing mass appears to have accelerated over roughly the last decade. ??Learn more about glaciers as climate change indicators: https://lnkd.in/ebrc2bFd

?? Climate Crisis Alert: Act Now! ??? A recent report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns that there's an 80% chance global temperatures will temporarily exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels within the next five years. This stark revelation highlights the urgent need for immediate climate action to prevent catastrophic impacts. Key Points: * 80% likelihood of surpassing 1.5°C between 2024-2028 * Short-term warming vs. long-term goals * Increased frequency of record-breaking temperatures * Urgent call for more ambitious climate action "We are playing Russian roulette with our planet," warns UN Secretary-General António Guterres. The time to act is now. Let's steer our planet towards a sustainable future and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Today is #WorldRainforestDay?? Rainforests are home to over half of the world's #biodiversity and they are vital to human health, economies and so much more. ?? Setting #ScienceBasedTargets #ForNature helps companies take credible action to address #BiodiversityLoss while increasing their resilience. A core goal of SBTN’s work is mitigating biodiversity loss by ensuring companies contribute to the protection, restoration and sustainable use of natural ecosystems. It is therefore essential that all actions taken through the targets effectively support biodiversity.?? Our target-setting methods directly support biodiversity by addressing the major drivers of biodiversity loss. ?? ???

Are you new to the Science Based Targets Network? Learn all about the first #ScienceBasedTargets #ForNature in our interactive overview. ?? Our vision is a global economy in which companies and cities operate within environmental boundaries on a socially equitable basis, through implementation of science-based targets that reduce and improve their impact on nature and society.?? We are developing targets for nature both for companies and cities, so they can comprehensively address their environmental impacts across biodiversity, land, freshwater and ocean. ?? These targets are introduced against the backdrop of scientific consensus that emphasizes achieving global ambitions to limit global warming to 1.5C cannot be achieved without preventing, and reversing, nature loss. Both need to be addressed together. ?? ?? Explore our interactive overview to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eHQES2p7 ??

???? Transforming Skies: How Used Cooking Oil is Fueling Sustainable Aviation ???? In our quest for sustainability, every industry must innovate and adapt, and aviation is soaring ahead with a groundbreaking initiative. Imagine turning the grease from our kitchen fryers into jet fuel. That’s not science fiction—it's happening now through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). ?? The Process Explained: Used cooking oil is collected, purified, and transformed through hydroprocessing into a cleaner-burning jet fuel. This amber-colored SAF can be blended with conventional fuel, significantly reducing the carbon emissions associated with flights. ?? Environmental Impact: Switching to SAF can slash greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% over its lifecycle. It's a game-changer for the industry, helping to recycle carbon and reduce our ecological footprint. ?? Economic Opportunities: This innovation not only aids environmental efforts but also stabilizes fuel prices and creates new markets for what was once waste material. However, the higher production costs of SAF present challenges that need to be addressed for wider adoption. ?? Real-World Applications: From American Airlines partnering with Neste to Airbus conducting test flights, SAF is proving its viability and compliance with international standards. The journey from kitchen waste to jet fuel represents a significant step toward sustainable air travel. As we continue to embrace these innovations, the aviation industry is setting a precedent for how sectors can contribute to a greener future. #Sustainability #Aviation #Innovation #ClimateAction #SAF #GreenTech
