📣 The average carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere was 4️⃣2️⃣1️⃣.2️⃣ ppm (parts per million) in 2023, up by 3️⃣.0️⃣ ppm from 2022. ⬆️ For the last 100 years the ppm of CO2 has been increasing every year. In the last ten years the average annual increase has been 2️⃣.5️⃣ ppm. Comment below with what you think the average CO2 ppm atmospheric concentration will be for 2024 and read on to learn more about annual CO2 trends. 🍂 Similar to recent years prior, in 2023, the atmospheric concentrations of CO2 naturally increased between the months of January through May and then decreased between May through August due to the plants in the northern hemisphere growing and absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. Once those plants started to decay in September, they released the CO2 they absorbed back into the atmosphere so the concentration started to rise again. 📈 While there are annual increases and decreases naturally, it is important to address and take action on the rapid increase of CO2 being emitted into the atmosphere by industrial activity and consumption processes. Currently more CO2 is being emitted into the atmosphere than the natural processes can regulate so the atmospheric concentration of CO2 continues to increase each year. ❓ But like, what is ppm and why is it important?! Goooooood question! Let’s dig in! 📚 Concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has been under 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ ppm for the last 800,000 years, until the 1900’s that is! 📚 With the industrial revolution and burning of oils and fossil fuels for energy, CO2 ppm and concentration in the atmosphere has increased steadily. With more CO2 particles and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, heat is trapped and our planet warms! 📚 Experts say if we surpass 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ ppm, the average global temperature will rise more than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial averages, which is not ideal for the planet and all inhabitants. 📚 We need to reach 3️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ ppm or below (waaaaay below actually…) in order for our planet to thrive. 🏆 Reducing emissions is key, removing carbon from the atmosphere is imperative! So…knowing CO2 concentration should be as important as knowing the weather. Don’t ya think?!

✨ We sponsored our first event ever this week - a Sustainable Supper club organized by Zestyplan with sustainable partners Mess Hall, Animal Liberation Kitchen, The Spent Goods Company, VegTO and GoodLot Farm & GoodLot Farmstead Brewing Co. An entirely plant-based meal prepared by chef Tanya Spasic from the Animal Liberation Kitchen, the evening was interactive, informative, and extremely joyful! We sponsored this event because food emissions is one of the highest highest categories when it comes to global emissions (above commercial flying, steel and cement manufacturing) and also has a high water, waste, and land footprint. Yet food is one of the easiest ways for us to take collective action to reduce our impact. Eating more plant-based is a win-win-win! A huge shoutout to Kristy Sadler for organizing this thoughtful evening and thank you to Clever Carbon guests for attending!

📣 Calling all Climate Era Leaders 📣 💡 Can you answer this question: What CO2 ppm do we need to reach for a safe climate? 💡 But wait, who is a Climate Era Leader (CEL) you ask? 💡 A CEL is anyone who leads an organization today. An organization can include a company, non-profit, school, government body, city, country, or other entity. ⚡ And why do CEL's need to know the answer to this question? ⚡ The 350 CO2 parts per million (ppm) mark is when the climate will start to stabilize again and the 280 ppm preindustrial level is ideal. These concentrations are crucial in the context of global climate change because it represents a key threshold in limiting global warming and avoiding the most severe impacts of climate change. Knowing the greenhouse gas metric boundaries we should avoid is key in preventing us from reaching 1.5 degrees Celsius. If you're a CEL, know that you don't have to be perfect, and that learning is a journey and we must all start somewhere. Carbon and climate literate leaders are the new standard so don't get left behind, instead, lead the pack by learning the answers to these 8 questions: https://lnkd.in/gYhfkwsT You can also take advantage of our cheat sheet: https://lnkd.in/gfxvsvbY Do you think your leaders know the answer to this question?
