From forests and soils to direct air capture, here are 6 ways to pull carbon pollution from the sky — and what it will take to scale them responsibly.
#WRIExplains #CarbonRemoval
“If Americans increased their protein intake by just 25%…it would require about 100 million acres of additional ag land each year — an area larger than Michigan, Ohio & Pennsylvania combined — & increase annual emissions by 100s of millions of tons of CO2e, according to @worldresources.bsky.social.”
There’s no sugar-coating the fact that the challenge ahead is immense, and the scale of change required is unprecedented. But just because something is unprecedented doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
The solutions exist. We know what to do. We just need to act with the urgency this moment demands.
🌎And #COP30 begins!
Should we keep our climate optimism despite the backlash? WRI President & CEO Ani Dasgupta believes so.
In his new book, The New Global Possible, he delves into the ways we are showing progress and how COPs can achieve real progress.

To rake or not to rake?
That is the question.
The answer: It depends.

Cool season - as defined by sub-70 degree AMs - is shrinking in the Tampa Bay Area. We now have ~2 months less of AMs below 70F than we did decades ago! Due both to greenhouse warming and, in cities, urban heat island. That's today's Berardelli Bonus. Tks @climatecentral.org for the GFX help!
The word 'broadcasting' dates back centuries, and originally described a method of sowing seeds. But it took on a new meaning with the rise of radio in the 1920s. n.pr/3JeW2Dj

Why gender matters in climate action:
1. Unequal vulnerability to #ClimateChange
2. Gaps in representation in climate decisions
3. Women’s undervalued role in #ClimateAction
4. Gender inequities in #ClimateFinance
5. Gender equality as a pillar of #ClimateJustice

The new EAT–Lancet report warns that we need a global food transformation: more plants, less waste, fairer systems.
If food can break the planet, it can also help heal it. 💚

I LOVE the Rurouni Kenshin movies (and anime!). Happy to meet another fan.
Should we power airplanes with food crops?
Check out our new video, part of @worldresources.bsky.social’s Stories to Watch 2025 series, where I break down how crop-based biofuels are on the front line of the discussion about alternative aviation fuels and what gets to count as “sustainable.”
Growing food crops under solar panels is called Agrivoltaics. Lots of crops benefit from growing underneath them. I know in Maine they were piloting wild blueberries, and in Massachusetts cranberries. You can also graze animals like sheep or if you mount them high cows (not goats - they climb)
Facts matter.
