#CarbonCapture technologies are being developed by scientists as part of a £70M government-funded competition to find the best ways to remove #GreenhouseGases from the atmosphere. But will they help in reaching #NetZero? @horton_official explores.

I think pieces like this serve as an important reminder that despite current efforts, if we want to make a real impact in our #Climate endeavours, emission mitigation strategies must be ramped up!

Scientists have recently found that the frequency of strong Western Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH) events, which led to hundreds of deaths back in 2020 in China alone, is likely to increase if #CarbonEmissions continue at the current rate.

Research has found that 3/4 of UK SMEs don't have ambitious carbon targets in place to reach #NetZero. Whilst a number of barriers are contributing to this issue, a lack of understanding and financing tend to be the main obstacles cited by many.

"Whatever you do, lead with your values"- a simple yet important bit of #Leadership advice from Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple. When it really comes down to it, leadership and values should be inseparable.

#ClimateChange affects us all. This is an interesting look at how #GlobalWarming can play with people's sleep cycles, leading to increased health risks as well as other problems.

#ClimateChange can have a huge impact on businesses and whilst leaders work hard on decarbonising their operations they may have blind spots. A great look here at how to better understand the holistic impact of climate change and avoid unforeseen risks.

Amazing news that Finland could soon become the first country to legally commit to carbon negativity. A huge step to lower global emissions, let's hope other countries follow this lead! #ClimateChange #NetZero

I thought this was such an interesting podcast on how businesses can make their operations more sustainable and ensure they are on the path to #NetZero. Well worth a listen. #ClimateChange #SustainableBusiness

"They shouldn’t dictate or drive new behaviour. They need to describe what's already happening in your organization." An excellent example by @jaltma of how important #Values are to your company's ability to learn and change when times get tough.

Did you know that 60% of #CarbonEmissions within cities typically come from buildings?
The need to decarbonise real-estate is one that is urgent, and a concerted effort is needed sooner rather than later.

I came across this article by @ftblforfuturebw recently, and I think he highlights an important issue.
A top-down approach is necessary when it comes to reducing the #CarbonFootprint of the football industry.

The extreme heat wave experienced by millions in India this Spring was made 100x more likely as a result of human-caused #ClimateChange.
If we don't limit our actions, the intensity of these spells will accelerate at an alarming pace.

Cultures of impunity and failures to hold people accountable, stand as strong barriers to an organisation's success. When creating a safe workspace, we must ensure that our employees are empowered, and this requires transparency at all levels.

#Carbon offset programmes may be too good to be true says @MaggieAstor.
Giving people the option to fly climate guilt-free may sound good in theory, but in reality, it adds barely anything to the overall carbon agenda.

One of the greatest impacts of our changing climate is the shifts we're seeing in the food chain. Unless collective action is taken immediately, we will continue to see more damage inflicted on #Biodiversity such as the example below.

A new record for the level of Co2 levels was set in April, and this is only expected to increase in May! It's clear that we need to supercharge current #NetZero efforts to ensure that we don't continue going down the same path.

Researchers are warning that we now have a 50/50 chance of exceeding the key #GlobalWarming threshold of 1.5C which governments worldwide have committed to limiting.

Fantastic work! If all cities follow the same example, we won't be far off from securing the UK's goal to become #NetZero. by 2050.

⭐@TheMcrCollege and @ucenmcr will be one step closer to achieving Greater Manchester’s goals of becoming a carbon neutral city region by 2038, with the College set to reduce annual emissions by 13% 🍃

I'm glad to hear that global banks are facing more scrutiny over their commitments to #ClimateChange.
For too long, there has been a major discrepancy between what is being proposed, and what action is actually being taken.
