Absolutely Nathan J Bennett I echo that sentiment.

Retweet if you’re ready for the U.S. to rejoin the Paris Agreement.

My article on differences in COVID-19 response compared to that of climate change from a human dimensions perspective was published today. I wrote this *while homeschooling* last spring. I hope it offers a unique perspective during an unprecedented time. dx.doi.org/10.1017/sus.20…

Technical adaptation is a necessary but insufficient response to the complexity of climate change. My new World Development article is on a comprehensive approach to adaptation and how it can better position communities to engage in transformative change bit.ly/3itfV7J

US back in Paris Agreement. We now have a G3 in Climate - the three largest economic powers - US, EU and China, all adopting science based targets - NET-ZERO 2050 (no later than 2060 in China). This can tip the logic in the world.

An important critical article on adaptation by some of my colleagues just published in #WorldDevJournal call for a post-adaptation turn akin to post-development, by seeking a pluralism of ideas about adaptation. siri eriksen cCHANGE 🌎 ✊@lisaschipper.bsky.social

One of my favourite authors. Worth checking this out!

Don't wait until you see the iceberg to turn the ship.

Karen O’Brien, Neil Adger and Ian Burton were awarded the BBVA Frontiers of Knowledge award this week, recognizing the importance of the human dimensions of climate change. No less than paradigm-changing. @cCHANGE_OBrien frontiersofknowledgeawards-fbbva.es/noticias/the-b…

“When decisions are framed as technical, the normative and ethical considerations that define our fundamental goals are made invisible.” Great work by three great researchers!

There are so many calls for transformation as a response to climate change, but it is less clear 'how' that can be engaged. This special feature compiles 14 open-access articles on the topic sv.uio.no/iss/english/re…

First of all, a link to the relevant page on the website for those who want to get started. The deadline is the end of the day on October 3rd and we ask for a CV and letter in each case. We are also looking for new trustees and audio-visual consultants. systems-souls-society.com/perspectiva-jo…

New article! A more relational approach to trade led to greater resilience and sustainability of a coffee value chain in Guatemala. During the pandemic more relational supply chains held where most others fell. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

What does the Uxbridge byelection result mean for the climate agenda? The greenlash (back lash to climate policies) is a real threat we're seeing in more places (inc Oxford) My main takeaway is if you loose the public narrative you loose the policies How do you win ? (1/2)

Why does the outlook on emissions reduction remain so bleak? One important reason may lie in how climate policy and solutions are communicated to the public," writes Tim Linsell, a student in my UBC course on climate change communications & engagement policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/janu…
