Cop17 begins on Monday, but nations have fallen far short of the biodiversity commitments they made in 2022. The stated goal was to protect 30% of land and water critical to biodiversity by 2030. Four years later, there isn't enough action or money.

Legal and illegal wildlife trade in conjunction with habitat loss, due to deforestation, have seen populations decline.
In 2016, a decision was made to ban all intl. trade in wild African grays. In 2018 the bird was listed as endangered. #ResistanceEarth www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/bird...
"I know everything."
The grey #parrot is known for its intelligence, being considered one of the smartest bird species and the greatest mimic of human speech. The birds possess cognitive skills equal to that of a five-year-old child. #ResistanceEarth youtube.com/shorts/ZNjBY...
When 80,000 Moroccans crossed the Mediterranean to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, right-wing trolls ginned up traffic with conspiracy theories. There was no conspiracy. It was driven by climate change, and there will be many more waves to come.

This is a long, scholarly article with a simple point: More people are dying in cities because of climate change. And that grim factor is accelerating. The proportion of heat deaths attributable to climate change rose from 39% in 2000 to 68% in 2025.
The ultimate goal is for heat pumps to replace fossil fuels as the dominant way of warming and cooling our homes. #ResistanceEarth
Heat pumps are around 3 to 4 times more efficient:
➜ require less electricity
➜ demand less from the grid
➜ reduces costs for owners
Would you like some fire retardant with your fish? A chemical called ethoxyquin is added to fish meal to reduce the risk of fires. More than half the seafood eaten worldwide is farmed, and most species eat fish meal treated with ethoxyquin.
We are not prepared – and that inaction could have profound consequences for the global financial system. #ClimateCatastrophe
If the worst happens, the insurance industry may not have the money to pay every claim when a major disaster hits.

It seems like a problem too big to solve: more than 200 million metric tons of plastic waste in the oceans. In 2011, 16-year-old Boyan Slat decided to try. He founded The Ocean Cleanup, which has removed 147 million pounds of ocean trash and still going.
Renewable electricity is becoming the cheapest option. #ResistanceEarth
Lower-income countries already use less fossil fuels and more renewables than higher-income ones. And large middle-income economies are outpacing richer ones as well.
