The weekly round-up on the climate crisis and data on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. European countries must end the repression and criminalization of peaceful climate protests and act urgently to reduce emissions in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C, he has declared the United Nations special rapporteur on environmental defenders, Michel Forst. At the end of a year-long investigation, which included gathering evidence from several European countries, Forst said the crackdown on peaceful environmental activists around the world poses a grave threat to democracy and human rights.All states involved in the UN expert's investigation into environmental defenders have joined the Aarhus Convention, which holds that peaceful environmental protest is a legitimate exercise of the public's right to participate in decision-making processes and that those who participate must be protected.Yet the response to peaceful environmental pr...

What is the future of the planet?In what direction is global warming going?Is there hope to avoid the worst?Are we still in time to stop the rise in temperatures?It's causing a lot of discussion survey of Guardian which asked 380 climate scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) what they predict for the future of our planet.According to the majority of experts contacted, by 2100 global temperatures will rise by at least 2.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels, almost half a global warming of 3°C, while just 6% believe that the 1.5°C agreed with the Paris Agreement in 2015.
