Quick estimate from International Energy Agency models this morning: #COP26 pledges could lead to 1.8 C warming, according to Fatih Birol. If fully detailed, implemented, etc. “needs a pledge gendarmerie to follow up”

Such a powerful image - the Minister from Tuvalu in the South Pacific delivered his speech to #COP26  from the sea to illustrate the crisis they face with rising sea levels

Otago Uni researchers launched a vital study into climate change (#STRANDMarsden), that will leverage #CoreLogic database to learn how future coastal flooding could impact residential property values. Ivan Diaz-Rainey blogs.otago.ac.nz/strandproject/… #CEFGroup #ClimateFinance #sealevelrise

Was also good to chat to rebeccawright on Newshub Live at 8pm last night, to discuss potential impact the new data could have on property values. With reference to the STRAND Marsden project study results, led by Ivan Diaz-Rainey
