We can no longer ignore their link to climate change &amp; biodiversity loss.

🔥 How fast are the #wildfires spreading in #Greece🇬🇷?
Here are the latest @CopernicusEMS stats on total burned areas since the start of 2023:
➡15 July: under 1000 ha
➡27 July: over 50,000 ha
The latter is equivalent to ~95,000 football pitches.

I am leaving Chennai disappointed.
We were asked to make bold choices on #ClimateChange, show courage, commitment &amp; leadership. But we, collectively, failed to achieve that.
#COP28 will have an opportunity to aim higher than any other COP before.
We expect global solidarity.
