🌍 🚨 NEW | US embassy AQ data halt: On 4 Mar, the AirNow website reporting data from #AirQuality monitors at US embassies worldwide halted data sharing
🏛️ CREA calls on reliant countries to ramp up local monitoring to fill the gap 👇
@andrealanauze @jha_economics 🏛️ City & national gov'ts who have lost their only source of regulatory-grade, publicly accessible AQ data should expand monitoring & data sharing / disclosure
🏛️ Countries with existing capabilities should make real-time & historical AQ monitoring data publicly available
@andrealanauze @jha_economics 📄 CREA's full article on the halt of data sharing from #AirQuality monitors at US embassies is now available here👇

💨📉 #China must reduce #emissions in absolute terms from 2024-2030 to meet its Paris commitment
@laurimyllyvirta w/ @DialogueEarth_
New from me: China now has to reduce emissions in absolute terms from 2024 to 2030 to meet its Paris commitment, due to rapid emissions increases during and after the COVID-19 pandemic which put the country off track to targets.

🇮🇳 NEW | Briefing - Scientific evidence is clear: Enforcing SO₂ norms in #India’s #coal power plants is non-negotiable
☠️ Alarming findings reveal widespread non-compliance in flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) installation at coal fired power plants (CFPPs)
@iitdelhi @iitbombay 🚨 In FY 2024–25, a mere 8% of all CFPP units in India had installed FGDs; 77% exceeded the prescribed limits, 12% complied with emission norms, and data was not available for the last 11%
@iitdelhi @iitbombay 🇮🇳 CREA's full briefing on the status of FGD implementation & sulphur dioxide (SO₂) emissions in India, as well as insights from recent studies published by IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay, is now available here:

In March 2025, #EU countries paid Russia €1.2B for fossil fuels — over half for #LNG. Hungary, France, Slovakia, Spain & Belgium led with the most imports.
While #Ukraine bleeds, Europe funds the war. Every euro empowers Putin. This must stop.
