During #DialogueNext 🇲🇽 women's leadership has been dominating the stage by sharing perspectives on Climate Action Strategies in Agriculture, which include dealing with conservation & food security, robust partnerships, a better finance market for farmers, & holistic approaches.

Looks like India ended wealth tax in 2015. As a result we are endlessly celebrating a wedding of crash proportions for months on end 😦 At G20, under Brazil’s Presidency, reviving global wealth tax is on the cards again. It’s a very fair proposal from what I have read & heard.

Norway - the land of electric vehicles - may be one of the world's most unsustainable countries. This is according to the Sustainable Development Index, or SDI, originally developed by Jason Hickel Norway ranks 155 out of 163 countries A thread (1/n)

Since 2013, Toronto has worked to become more flood-resistant, but climate change is outpacing our efforts. Our infrastructure was designed for a planet that no longer exists. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

As I noted in 'The Nutmeg's Curse', the collective West is psychologically unprepared for a world in which it is not dominant. aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/…

The Climate Change Committee UK progress report is out: we are the first major economy to halve emissions. But we are not on track for our 2030 NDC. Only 5 of 22 indicators are on track.   We give 10 priority recommendations. This is an opportunity for the UK to reset. theccc.org.uk/publication/pr…

Groundwater #irrigation, in places of high rainfall and high recharge, like #Nepal, is a powerful tool of #poverty alleviation. #Bangladesh is a good example where rural poverty alleviation and food security both happened on the back intensive groundwater use.

If true, this is a huge set back. All pathways to a 1.5-2 degree requires land and oceans to be net sinks — at higher levels emissions, ability of the land to absorb CO2 declines or becomes non existent! We know effectivessness of adaptation declines too.

Please join us on Monday, 22nd July. Very excited to talk to Dr. Jo Puri and Ed Carr on this very important topic — how do we measure effectiveness of adaptation in practical ways. Important to inform ongoing discussions on #GlobalGoalsonAdaptation #GGA

Join us Dr. Jo Puri Ed Carr CGIAR

In this new paper we calculate the unequal exchange of labour between the global North and global South. The results are quite staggering. You'll want to look at this... 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our ambitious experiment in the Amazon rainforest - ⁦AmazonFACE⁩ 6 rings of towers: 3 will keep CO2 levels within them high so we can study how rainforest trees respond. eg. does growth keep increasing at high CO2? Crucial knowledge for calculating future carbon budgets

Thinking of all my friends & their families in #Bangladesh. News coming in of more death &destruction is so heart breaking. I have worked in Bangladesh for years and during my several travels that started way back in 2006, I have only experienced warmth and welcome from everyone.

#Climate folks on X. Who works on #JustTransition on #Agriculture and #FoodSystems? Please reach out. What can we learn from just transitions in #Energy space?

You can eat your cake and have it too, if you are America. This is a very bad, when the the world’s richest country & the largest historical emitter does it. Emissions had to be reduced by 45% by 2030 to be on track for a 1.5 degree world & more oil has no place in that path.

This is also a part of decolonising science.
