So far, flooding and landslides in October have killed over 100 people, and left dozens more missing. The Red Cross says in a statement, “Everywhere we look, homes, roads and infrastructure have been submerged.” While it is certainly difficult to pin extreme weather events such as these purely on the climate crisis, a recent UN report found that natural disasters have nearly doubled over the past 20 years, in line with increasing temperatures and rising greenhouse gas emissions. .⠀ .⠀ 👉 Link in bio⠀ 👉 Follow @earthorg⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . #earthorg #earth #Vietnam #flood #landslide #climatedisaster #disaster #ecosystem #UKIG #environment #HKIG #HongKong #nature #conservation #biodiversity #UK #sustainability #stoppollution #noplanetb #saveourplanet #mangrovea #saveourworld #climatecrisis #protecttheearth #globalwarming #urbanization #climatechange .

Japan has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050 according to prime minister Yoshihide Suga, who says that responding to the climate crisis is “no longer a constraint on economic growth,” a bold and welcome move by the world’s third-biggest economy and fifth largest greenhouse gas emitter. .⠀ .⠀ 👉 Link in bio⠀ 👉 Follow @earthorg⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . #earthorg #earth #Japan #PrimeMinisterYoshihideSuga #pledge #carbonneutral #policy #economicgrowth #ecosystem #UKIG #environment #HKIG #HongKong #nature #conservation #biodiversity #UK #sustainability #stoppollution #noplanetb #saveourplanet #mangrovea #saveourworld #climatecrisis #protecttheearth #globalwarming #urbanization #climatechange .

The Draft Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification 2020 in India, drafted by the Indian Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) with the intention to overhaul the process of environmental regulation of infrastructure projects, has been widely criticised for its “pro-industry” and “anti-environment” legislation clauses, which may regularise projects that violate environmental norms. .⠀ .⠀ 👉 Link in bio⠀ 👉 Follow @earthorg⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . #earthorg #earth #India #IndianMinistryOfEnvironment #environmentalregulation #regulation #sea #earthquake #PrimeMinisterYoshihideSuga #toxicchemicals #ecosystem #UKIG #environment #HKIG #HongKong #nature #conservation #biodiversity #UK #sustainability #stoppollution #noplanetb #saveourplanet #mangrovea #saveourworld #climatecrisis #protecttheearth #globalwarming #urbanization #climatechange .

Government officials in Japan are considering releasing over a million tons of radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi site into the ocean. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga stated that he would “make a decision as soon as possible” as far as how to manage the radioactive water whilst visiting the plant. .⠀ .⠀ 👉 Link in bio⠀ 👉 Follow @earthorg⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . #earthorg #earth #Japan #Fukushima #radioactive #nuclear #sea #earthquake #PrimeMinisterYoshihideSuga #toxicchemicals #ecosystem #UKIG #environment #HKIG #HongKong #nature #conservation #biodiversity #UK #sustainability #stoppollution #noplanetb #saveourplanet #mangrovea #saveourworld #climatecrisis #protecttheearth #globalwarming #urbanization #climatechange .

Published in the journal Nature, the study says that if a third of the planet’s most degraded areas were restored and protections were given to areas still in good condition, about half of all human-caused carbon emissions since the Industrial Revolution could be stored. This would prevent about 70% of all predicted species extinctions. As many as one million species are at risk of extinction. .⠀ .⠀ 👉 Link in bio⠀ 👉 Follow @earthorg⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . #earthorg #earth #farmland #tropicalforests #coastalwetlands #climatecrisis #UN #diplomat #ecosystem #UKIG #environment #HKIG #HongKong #nature #conservation #biodiversity #UK #sustainability #stoppollution #noplanetb #saveourplanet #mangrovea #saveourworld #climatecrisis #protecttheearth #globalwarming #urbanization #climatechange

According to a new study, emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) are increasing at a faster rate than any other greenhouse gas, mainly due to a rise in nitrogen fertiliser application for food production. Already, these emissions have surpassed projections by the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC). .⠀ .⠀ 👉 Link in bio⠀ 👉 Follow @earthorg⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . #earthorg #earth #fertiliser #emissions #greenhousegas #gas #nitrogen #ozone #marine #ecosystem #UKIG #environment #HKIG #HongKong #nature #conservation #biodiversity #UK #sustainability #stoppollution #noplanetb #saveourplanet #mangrovea #saveourworld #climatecrisis #protecttheearth #globalwarming #urbanization #climatechange

A mysterious pollution outbreak in Kamchatka, Russia, has left any marine species, including seals, octopuses and sea urchins, washing up on Avacha Bay since September. Scientists have reported that as much as 95% of marine species along the seabed have been killed in what is being treated as a major marine pollution incident. .⠀ .⠀ 👉 Link in bio⠀ 👉 Follow @earthorg⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . #earthorg #earth #Russia #kamchatka #sea #marinepollution #pollution #marinespecies #species #toxicchemicals #ecosystem #UKIG #environment #HKIG #HongKong #nature #conservation #biodiversity #UK #sustainability #stoppollution #noplanetb #saveourplanet #mangrovea #saveourworld #climatecrisis #protecttheearth #globalwarming #urbanization #climatechange .

Speaking at the Conservative party conference, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson also announced the upgrades of £160 million to ports and factories for building turbines to help the country “build back greener.” However, scaling up to the envisioned 40GW of offshore wind generation will require investments of about £50 billion. The UK needs to include hydrogen in its journey to net-zero emissions. .⠀ .⠀ 👉 Link in bio⠀ 👉 Follow @earthorg⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . #earthorg #earth #borisjohnson #windfarms #wind #hydrogen #pledge #greenenergy #ecosystem #UKIG #environment #HKIG #HongKong #nature #conservation #biodiversity #UK #sustainability #stoppollution #noplanetb #saveourplanet #mangrovea #saveourworld #climatecrisis #protecttheearth #globalwarming #urbanization #climatechange

In March 2020, Singapore announced that it would plant a million trees by 2030 and develop more and better connected green spaces. In August, as part of the project, it announced the launch of the new Sungei Buloh Park Network, a 990-acre park in the northern part of the island intended to serve as a refuelling site for migratory birds and a home for oriental hornbills, otters, saltwater crocodiles and many other species. .⠀ .⠀ 👉 Link in bio⠀ 👉 Follow @earthorg⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . #earthorg #earth #Singapore #milliontrees #trees #nature #grassland #forests #ecology #reforestation #ecosystem #UKIG #environment #HKIG #HongKong #nature #conservation #biodiversity #UK #sustainability #stoppollution #noplanetb #saveourplanet #mangrovea #saveourworld #climatecrisis #protecttheearth #globalwarming #urbanization #climatechange
