++ BREAKING ++ Finance Ministry in Germany occupied! 2 months ago German Finance Minister Christian Lindner agreed to demand MAPA debt cancellation during the IMF&WB annual meeting. He has not delivered, and we are here to hold him accountable for a broken promise!

Ein beliebtes Argument: "Was ist mit China?" China taucht nicht einmal unter den 25 größten Verursachern der #Klimakatastrophe auf, wenn es um die Überschreitung der sicheren planetarische Grenze geht (350ppm - wir sind jetzt bei ~415ppm). (1/3) #UniteAgainstClimateFailure

Incredible photo-journal article about farmers in Bangladesh turning to 200 yr old techniques to adapt to climate change. Imagine telling these folks they need to "modernize", mechanize, and get their produce to global markets in the name of development! reuters.com/investigates/s…

As climate discussions increase around COP27, I’m drawn again to critical thinking around phrases like “We need to act” and “we need to do more.” Who is “we” in this case? Does “we” also include the poorest and most vulnerable? Let’s be clear who really needs to step up.

So excited and happy to see this dream coming true!

Hey there! I’m Carol Miron (Carol Miron), a Brazilian PhD candidate at the University of Hamburg in Germany. I’m studying the effects of experimental warming and drought on the growth of fine roots and soil fungal hyphae at the forests of Luquillo.

Root scanning: one of the funniest parts of the work for getting data on fine root traits. I kinda think of it as a type of art 💚

🌳🔍 Exciting insights from our latest study in PNASNews! We've delved "underground" into the dynamics of forests and savannas, looking at the role of the water table in shaping these environments. Curious about our findings? Let's dive in! 🧵buff.ly/3qoOO6u 1/5
