The world's largest climate survey reveals a striking consensus 80% of people globally want their countries to take stronger climate action, and over half think about climate change daily or weekly. Far from being split, humanity is largely united on wanting to do more. But how can we help move the needle? WRI research shows that shifting a few key behaviors can significantly reduce emissions and climate impacts. And the more people who act, the bigger the collective change. The trick is knowing where to prioritize our efforts. Find out why these climate choices made the list: https://lnkd.in/eEKPe6Bh #ClimateChange #Sustainability #SustainableChoices #Environment #EcoFriendly

🚍More and more students are enjoying clean and quiet rides with electric school buses across the US. 🎒And for Native children, who have higher rates of asthma, longer routes and are more likely to ride the school bus than non-Native students, this is particularly important. ⚡Luckily, the list tribal nations and Native communities leading the way on school bus electrification is growing. Learn how they do it: https://bit.ly/4q3OWlB #electricvehicles #EV #tribalnations #nativecommunities #childrensrights #childrenshealth #fossilfuel #diesel #electrification

🌎🌲The landmark EU Deforestation Regulation, or #EUDR, requires businesses to show their products do not come from deforested lands. Despite its promise, the regulation is facing proposed delays and significant pushback, threatening its timely implementation. In September, the EU Commission proposed delaying the EUDR's enforcement for the second year in a row. But why is EUDR so important? How are companies getting ready for it?
