Refreshing our memory: what is the Planetary Health Check (PHC)? 🤔 Just like a blood test reveals what’s happening inside the human body, the PHC reveals the state of Earth’s health. It is our yearly snapshot of planetary stability, showing where humanity stands in relation to the Planetary Boundaries. Swipe through for a quick refresher of the 2024 PHC ↔️ and stay tuned for the next update. The 2025 PHC will be launched in September showing the latest science on the health of our planet and the pathways to restore balance. 🔗 Explore more at planetaryhealthcheck.org and follow along for the launch. #PlanetaryHealthCheck #PlanetaryBoundaries #PlanetaryGuardians #PlanetaryHealth

One of the missions of Planetary Guardians is to elevate the science behind Planetary Boundaries —but what exactly are they? 🌍 Think of Earth as a living body: it has limits. The Planetary Boundaries framework outlines 9 critical Earth system processes that keep our planet stable and livable. Crossing them means pushing Earth beyond a safe zone. From climate change to chemical pollution, we’ve already breached 6. But understanding the risks is the first step toward restoring balance. Join us on this journey to turn things around: toward a safe and just operating space for all life on Earth. #PlanetaryGuardians #PlanetaryBoundaries #PlanetaryHealth #SafeOperatingSpace

Planetary Guardian and Project Dandelion Co-Founder Mary Robinson on the real cost of fossil fuels: “We pay three times: at the gas pump, through our taxes and through the damage to our health, economies and planet.” Despite $1.05* trillion a year still flowing into fossil fuel subsidies, renewable momentum is unstoppable. Across the world, communities and countries are already proving that cleaner, more accessible energy systems are possible. Read more in the Renewable Freedom Report, link in bio 🔗 #renewablefreedom

Fossil fuels are driving instability across the planet, from rising costs to breached planetary boundaries. The transition is already underway, but progress is being slowed by the system itself, with over $1 trillion still going to fossil fuel subsidies every year. You don’t tackle a fossil fuel crisis by investing in more fossil fuels. We have to end fossil fuel subsidies and embrace renewable freedom. Our new report, developed with The B Team and supported by @projectdandelion , explores what it will take to accelerate the shift. Read the full report via the link in bio. #RenewableFreedom

This week, 56 countries gathered in Santa Marta, Colombia, for the First International Conference on the Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, not to debate whether to phase out fossil fuels - but how. Dandelion Vanessa Nakate explains the outcomes from Santa Marta, and what we must hold as we gather for the Second Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in early 2027 in Tuvalu, co-chaired by Ireland. This is what momentum looks like. ✊🌼 #ClimateAction #FossilFuelPhaseout #SantaMarta #ProjectDandelion

Still holding onto your toxic ex? 🚫 Fossil fuels are costing us more than we think: from rising bills to planetary damage. It’s time to move on. Renewable Freedom means cleaner, more stable and more affordable energy. Choose Renewable Freedom! 🌞 Animation by @studio.one.spirituntamed #RenewableFreedom #breakupwithfossilfuels

Day 4, last but not least: interviews, encounters, and finally bringing our studio to life. 👷‍♂️ We had the privilege of speaking with President Santos and several Planetary Guardians, gathering perspectives from those shaping the bigger picture. We also stopped by the Fortescue Green Pioneer, the world’s first ammonia dual-fuel vessel, to connect with members of the private sector chapter. ⛴️ But the highlight of the day: setting up our studio at the High-Level Summit venue. After days on the ground, we're ready. ⏰ We go live tomorrow.🚨 Tune in from 07:30 COT / 14:30 CEST on April 28 for a rich program featuring voices from across the Santa Marta conference, ministers, climate envoys, scientists, and civil society organizers. See you there! 🐊 #beyondfossilfuels #santamarta #climateaction #climatesolutions #fossilfuelfree

This week, more than 50 countries are coming together in Santa Marta, Colombia to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels and move from negotiation to implementation. With seven of nine planetary boundaries already breached, this is no longer only a climate issue. It is about stabilising the systems that support life on Earth. The science is clear and the solutions exist. The priority now is to act, together and at speed. #FossilFuelPhaseOut #TransitionAwayFromFossilFuels #PlanetaryBoundaries

This Earth Day, let’s talk boundaries 🌎 Seven of the nine planetary boundaries that keep Earth stable have now been crossed. They regulate climate, water, biodiversity, and the conditions that make life possible. We have seen that change is possible. The ozone layer is recovering because the world acted 🤝 The same can happen again, but only if we address the root causes. Living within boundaries is a way of life that respects Earth’s limits and is rooted in reciprocity rather than extraction 🌱 #EarthDay #EarthDay2026 #PlanetaryBoundaries

Two weeks ago at ChangeNOW, the message was clear. The fossil fuel era is ending and the only question is whether we will be fast enough⚡ Johan Rockström, @kuminaidoo , @nemonte.nenquimo and Nick Nuttall made the case that the science is settled, the solutions exist and the idea that it is too expensive does not hold when considering the true cost of fossil fuels on people and planet. This April, the first-ever international conference dedicated to fossil fuel phase out will take place in Colombia. For 30 years, the climate conversation has moved forward without addressing the root cause, and this is beginning to change. Fossil fuels do not only heat the planet, they also fuel conflict, and phasing them out is a prerequisite for a stable and peaceful world. 🌍
