The chance to keep global warming below 1.5°C with no overshoot is gone. But urgent action can still limit the overshoot and bring warming back to 1.5°C by 2100. Current policies, however, put the 🌎 on course for up to 2.8°C this century. New #EmissionsGap Report: unep.org/en/news-and-stories…

What needs to change to limit overshoot and bring global warming back to 1.5°C by the end of the century? From renewable energy to coal and methane, UNEP's latest #EmissionsGap Report sets out the changes needed to help make that possible. Read more: ow.ly/GhVe50ZZEY8

The 2026 #EmissionsGap Report launches today. Where are global emissions heading, and what will it take to change course? Join UNEP and @ODI_Global as we unpack the latest findings and the action needed to close the gap. Watch live: piped.video/live/ZbGnvLq3dPg

50 billion tonnes of sand are used every year, making it the world’s 2nd most used resource after water. But we are extracting it faster than nature can replenish it. This UNEP report warns unsustainable sand extraction is threatening ecosystems and livelihoods: unep.org/news-and-stories/pr…

While cutting carbon emissions remains essential, it’s no longer enough to stop the effects of climate change already unfolding. Join the push for #ClimateAction and adaptation by accessing the latest news and data: unep.org/news-and-stories/ne…

Nature underpins everything we need to survive.  The world agreed to conserve 30% of land and seas and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. But these targets are off track.  #COP17Armenia is a chance to take stock and speed up action.  What’s on the agenda: unep.org/en/news-and-stories…

Trends come and go, but the waste stays… piling up in landfills and polluting our planet. The solution? Buy less, wear longer, repair, swap, and choose circular fashion. Here are other ways to reduce waste in the fashion industry: unep.org/news-and-stories/st…

Our soil is one of Earth's greatest reservoirs of biodiversity, and it's more important than you think. Yet human activities pose a threat to soil biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides. Learn more about the important role soil plays: decadeonrestoration.org/stor…

Nature action is at a critical juncture. #COP17Armenia marks the halfway point to the 2030 targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. As countries take stock of progress for the first time, follow the latest updates: unep.org/news-and-stories/ne…

Nature provides the foundations that sustain all life on Earth, from clean water and healthy soils to the economies built upon them. Dive in to discover how nature can drive economic and social transformation: unep.org/topics/nature-actio…

Humanity depends on biodiversity. Over the next two weeks, countries are meeting at #COP17Armenia to take stock of progress on the Global Biodiversity Framework - the world's plan to halt and reverse nature loss. More info: unep.org/en/news-and-stories…

The world is set to exceed 1.5°C of warming. Even if the temperature comes back down, the 🌎 may never be quite the same. But we must not abandon the 1.5°C goal. The higher & longer the global temperature rise, the greater the risks. UNEP's Martin Krause explains: bit.ly/3TVOISA

Halting and reversing the loss of biodiversity will take collective action. No country can do it alone. #COPArmenia is a moment to reflect on the world’s progress in protecting nature. More from @UNBiodiversity: cbd.int/conferences/2026

Biodiversity is the web of life that keeps our planet healthy, from the air we breathe to the food we eat. But it is under threat from pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. Explore more on what biodiversity is all about and the ongoing work to protect it for people and planet: unep.org/en/what-we-do/natur…

One of my greatest priorities as @UN Secretary-General has been fighting the triple planetary crisis of biodiversity loss, pollution & climate change, because I have children & grandchildren that are counting on world leaders to be leaders for nature. Let’s act with urgency for our children, for our future & for all life on Earth.

Wasting food adds pressure on forests.  Agricultural expansion drives almost 90% of global forest loss. Making better use of the food already produced can help reduce pressure on forests and biodiversity - another important reason to #StopFoodLossWaste.  More on #WorldFoodDay: stopfoodlosswaste.org/

From 16–20 November, governments, industry, civil society & other stakeholders will gather in Geneva for the 1st International Conference of the Global Framework on Chemicals to track progress, accelerate action & invest in impact. Why global cooperation on chemicals matters:

Soil is where our food begins. Healthy soils provide the nutrients plants need to grow and support biodiversity. But pollution and degradation are putting this vital resource under pressure. This #WorldFoodDay, see what’s driving land and soil pollution, and what can be done about it: unep.org/beatpollution/forms…
