This conference in Amsterdam seeks to explore and harness law’s transformative power, reimagined through the lens of racial and environmental justice, to confront the challenges of our time. promiseeurope.law.ucla.edu #environmentalcrimes #internationallaw #PromiseEurope2024 #ICC

So thrilled to be speaking at the upcoming Promise Conference alongside some incredible minds, shaping the conversation around human rights, environmental protection and climate justice. Such an honour to be part of such a pivotal event! lnkd.in/dXz47kjQ Island Policy Lab at the University of Delaware

This true hits home ... I spent a very memorable part of my life in Merida... the city was pretty much defined in many ways by the glaciers ... such an incredibly huge loss - at multiple levels

Just of the heels of the historic advisory opinion from the ITLOS a few days ago...

Tuvaluan 🇹🇻 counsel for COSIS on Climate Change and International Law Naima Te Maile highlights role of #SIDS in shaping international law, at terrific all-women panel unpacking International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea advisory opinion also featuring nilufer oral, Monica Feria-Tinta & Shobha Maharaj #PromiseEurope2024.

Judge Tomas Heidar, President of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, today addressed the thirty-fourth Meeting of States Parties to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, currently ongoing at United Nations headquarters. itlos.org/fileadmin/itlo…

Clear succinct reality of climate finance.. have a look!

Which scientists told him this? ⬇️What did they study? Science fiction? Just to make it clear, yes, the rich have to give up their high energy consumptive and wasteful life style. That’s what the science I and thousands of other IPCC scientists assessed says.

Small Islands do have a CHRONIC data paucity problem ... and no /little data = too few research publications = under-representation within key global reports (eg IPCC) = audience misinterpretation that many impacts are not as severe or pervasive as we on the ground have observed

The ground breaking iTLOS AO: the Paris agreement is not enough when it comes to States' obligations to prevent GHGs polluting the oceans via heat and CO2!

The kid on the left should have kept it all to maximise her self-interest, & the kid on the right should have been inspired by inequality to aspire higher or be resigned to acceptance, not given a handout. Why do kids keep on failing this economics test?

Yes definitely! Language def matters! A bit off tangent from the stakeholder discussion - but another good colonial eg: 'Small Island States' Who coined this? And why not 'Large Ocean States' instead?

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.

In our first Essay- a new article type for PLOS Climate- Dr Valérie Masson-Delmotte, former Co-Chair of IPCC WGI, shares reflections from the #IPCC AR6 and lays out a vision for the future of climate science grounded in ethics and transformative ambition journals.plos.org/climate/articl…

An unprecedented number of 62 written comments filed at CIJ_ICJ in the climate change advisory proceedings: shorturl.at/uBcio These submissions themselves are already a significant contribution to international law on climate change and State responsibility.

I am so pleased this nature commentary co-authored with ⁦Sameer Shah, Ph.D.⁩ is finally out. If you are interested in floating climatopias and their resilience to climate change, check out our 6 criteria for evaluating these emerging adaptation options nature.com/articles/d4158…

Prof Lisa Schipper 🌎 ✊ Adaptation isn't a choice for many; it's a necessity. Workers still need to go out even during heatwaves, farmers must resow after losing crops to floods. For them, getting on with life is survival. Adaptation is imperfect, but it's essential when the alternative is unthinkable.

This is how the Government treats those who tell the truth.
