EU countries poised to demand weaker climate target if forests fail to absorb CO2 Ministers are rushing to strike a deal on EU emissions ahead of the COP30 climate conference in Brazil.

AB, ormanlar beklenenden az CO₂ tutarsa 2040 iklim hedefini yumuşatabilir. Taslak belgeye göre Komisyon hedefi gözden geçirebilecek. Çevre bakanları metni #COP30 öncesi Belém’de tartışacak. www.politico.eu/article/mini...

EU countries poised to demand weaker climate target if forests fail to absorb CO2 Ministers are rushing to strike a deal on EU emissions ahead of the COP30 climate conference in Brazil.

EU may weaken its 2040 climate goal if forests absorb less CO₂ than planned, per a draft deal. Ministers will debate it ahead of #COP30 in Belém. The clause would let the Commission revise the target. www.politico.eu/article/mini...

Earth’s Oceans Lose Some of Their Luster - Inside Climate News New research reveals that a key biological carbon pump is weakening, threatening ecosystems and the climate.

Dünya’nın okyanusları yeşilini kaybediyor — fitoplankton düşüşü, iklimimizin güvenlik ağının zayıfladığına dair çarpıcı bir uyarı. Ayrıca okyanusların rengi de koyulaşıyor, bu daha fazla ısı emileceğini gösteriyor. #İklimKrizi

Earth’s Oceans Lose Some of Their Luster - Inside Climate News New research reveals that a key biological carbon pump is weakening, threatening ecosystems and the climate.

Earth’s oceans are losing their green — a warning sign that phytoplankton are declining, and our climate’s safety net is weakening and the oceans are getting darker. #ClimateCrisis

Solar-powered farming is digging Pakistan into a water catastrophe Karamat Ali's cows and buffalos once provided his multi-generational family with milk. But earlier this year, the 61-year-old sold about a dozen bovine - and spent the proceeds on a set of solar panels.

Pakistan'da güneş enerjisi kullanan pompaların çokça artması su kaynaklarını bir felakete sürüklüyor.

Banks retreat from climate change commitments – but it’s business more than politics The Net-Zero Banking Alliance, intended to curb lending to carbon-intensive sectors, wasn’t effective and more importantly never made much business sense.

Bankalar iklim taahhütlerinden geri çekiliyor. Net-sıfır ittifakları çökerken, fosil yakıtların kârlılığı ve siyasî baskılar ön planda. İklim riskleri ise hızla büyüyor.

Banks retreat from climate pledges as net-zero alliances collapse. Fossil fuel profits and political pushback dominate, while climate risks keep rising.
