Irreversibility in climate action - Nature Climate Change Although climate action is undermined by political interests and institutional inertia, multiple safeguards are in place to prevent backsliding on progress so far, and positive feedbacks reinforce progress despite opposing forces. Key elements of climate action are irreversible and can be further strengthened by commitments, investments and positive narratives.

In a new @natclimate.nature.com comment piece, Nigel Topping (Chair of @thecccuk.bsky.social) joins Corinne Le Quéré and other senior climate voices to discuss the irreversibility of climate change progress: spklr.io/633248nUC8

Thanks for inviting me on BBC's Rare Earth programme coming up today to talk about COP30 and the Global Carbon Budget.

The world’s carbon emissions continue to rise. But 35 countries show progress in cutting carbon In 2025 the world has fallen short, again, of peaking and reducing its fossil fuel use. But there are many countries on a path to greener energy.

The 2025 update of the Global Carbon Budget is out.​​
While fossil CO2 emissions rise again and carbon sinks are weakened by climate change, deforestation emissions are down and many countries decarbonise their energy.
No global emissions peak yet though.

With the UN Ocean Conference #UNOC3 in its final days, it's worth watching again the Keynote talks of its #OneOceanScienceCongress.
