  1. Government told to prepare for 2C warming by #2050
    #ClimateChangeCommittee said they would advise #UK prepare for #climatechange beyond long-term temperature goal set out in #ParisAgreement. The letter came as the World Meteorological Organization (#WMO) confirmed that 2024 had seen a record rise of #carbondioxide in the atmosphere. #CO2 is the gas mainly responsible for human-caused climate change and is released when #fossilfuels are burnt, as well as other activities.

  2. "The energy charter treaty (#ECT) is a system of secret courts that enables companies to sue governments over policies that would cut their future profits. Companies have sued over phasing out #coal-fired power stations, ending offshore #oil drilling and banning #fracking. The #UK’s #ClimateChangeCommittee said Britain should withdraw from the ECT.

    The UK and Japan are the only major economies not to have committed to exiting the ECT."
