Today is not just any day. 🧐

Today, July 24th, marks Earth Overshoot Day, the day that humanity’s demand for ecological resources exceeds the resources that Earth can regenerate within the year. This means we would need 1.8 Earths to meet our demands. ⏳

Together we can work to . By pushing back overshoot day by 6 days a year we can exit overshoot before 2050. The solutions are within reach.⚡️

☑️ Utilising clean cookstoves would move the date by 6 days
☑️ By cutting food waste in half we can move the date by 13 days
☑️ Financing decarbonisation can move the date by 22 days

By taking action together, we’re ensuring cleaner air, healthier communities and more resilient economies that work for all. 💙

“The clean energy future is no longer a promise. It's a fact."

Yesterday, Secretary-General delivered a powerful message of hope and opportunity:

We are at the dawn of a new energy era of abundance and economic opportunity.

You’ve probably heard the quote “No one ever won a game by resigning” by Grandmaster Savielly Tartakower.

It’s a simple truth that applies perfectly to climate action. The game isn’t over - in fact, we’re seeing incredible momentum building everywhere.

Think about it: in chess, a single pawn move can protect the king, open up new possibilities, or set up a winning combination. Climate action works the same way.

Around the world, people are making socially-conscious choices, engaging with the decisions that shape our future. Each choice contributes to larger patterns of progress.

Every decision you make counts - whether in chess or in life. And quitting is never an option.

When your car breaks down, you trust a mechanic. When you're sick, you trust a doctor. So when our planet is sending distress signals, maybe it's time to trust the climate scientists.

Carlo Buontempo, Director of @‌ECMWFcopernicus , reminds us of something powerful: we already have mountains of climate evidence. The science is solid. We can do so much better at using this knowledge to drive our actions and base our decisions on evidence.

In a world full of noise, credible scientific information gives us clarity and creates the foundation for meaningful action.

The global shift to renewable energy is inevitable. ⚡

In 2024, renewable capacity grew by over 15% globally, as new data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) shows. 📈

🌎🌍🌏 This is great news for our planet: Switching to renewable energy not only cuts the greenhouse gas emissions heating our planet — it also drives economic growth, creates jobs, and supports affordable, secure energy for all.

But not everyone benefits equally. Africa, Central America and the Caribbean, and Eurasia accounted for only 2.8% of this growth.

To deliver on the global agreement to triple renewables by 2030, we need to move much further and much faster.

Climate transparency is more than just facts and figures. It helps us plan better and act faster.

It’s the engine of climate ambition 💪 and the compass for effective climate action 🧭 — because we can’t act on what we don’t know.

Hear Nathan Cogswell from World Resources Institute explain why transparency is critical for effective climate action. 👇

Record temperatures are being broken across continents.

This week, Europe battled another extreme heatwave, but it is not alone. In Asia, which is warming twice as fast as the global average, temperatures in Northern China soared above 40°C last month. In South America, February brought record-breaking heat, with the city of Rio de Janeiro experiencing highs of 44°C. And in Africa at the end of last year, a heatwave in the Sahel region saw temperatures pass 50°C.

As schools close, transport slows, and cities heat up, the strain on our societies is clear. These extremes are a signal of our changing climate.

Ambitious new national climate plans are due from all countries this year under the Paris Agreement. By addressing all greenhouse gases and all sectors, including green infrastructure, they can be powerful blueprints for healthier, safer and thriving communities.

“As we close the , it is clear that we need to go further, faster, and fairer,” said UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell.

“In areas such as just transition, gender, adaptation, implementation of the global stocktake outcomes, and transparency, the hard work by delegates over the past 10 days has paid off.

Work on some other areas has struggled.

We have a lot more to do before we meet again for in Belém, Brazil in November.

We must find a way to get to the hard decisions sooner.”

🌍 Climate action starts everywhere — from the UN negotiation rooms to your local city street.

With over half the world’s population living in cities, urban areas are at the heart of climate solutions. 🏙️

Bold local climate action doesn’t just reduce the emissions that warm our planet — it transforms cities into greener, healthier, more vibrant places to live.

To learn more, we spoke with Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh, Mayor of Malmö City, Sweden, and President of ICLEI — a global network of local and regional governments.

Climate negotiations matter. The progress countries make in these sessions has a real impact on billions of lives and livelihoods around the world. 🤝💚

As the UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell stated:

“Let's not forget: without UN-convened climate multilateralism, we would be headed for up to 5 degrees of global heating. Now it's around 3. It's a measure of how far we've come, and how far we still have to go.

A reminder that 1.5, and protecting all people, continue to be both achievable over the course of time, and absolutely essential.”
