Overal ontstaan burgerschapsinitiatieven. In deze tweede aflevering van een nieuwe serie: Broodfondsen. Waardoor zelfstandigen zichzelf en elkaar kunnen verzekeren. ‘We denken niet vanuit risico’s, maar vanuit solidariteit.’ Bas Mesters buff.ly/3JJGLoj

Now back from Stockholm after a fantastic workshop. Thanks to the organizers (Eva Vriens giulia andrighetto and Nanda Wijermans) for inviting me. I learned a lot and was inspired by the impressive research LABSS_CNR

Drought in the Horn of Africa is the driest conditions & hottest temperatures since satellite record-keeping began. Impacting 13 million people currently, women & children walk about 14 km looking for water & animals are dying in hundreds of thousands. This is a climate crisis!

World on brink of five ‘disastrous’ climate tipping points, study finds theguardian.com/environment/20…

Reflections on #Soupgate: What the scholarship of effective activism tells us about how this action could promote action, undermine action, or create a backlash. A thread by @wlouisuq. (Will fill in research links tomorrow, but a couple of key refs at the end.)

Even if countries’ current pledges for action by 2030 are delivered in full, global temperature rise goes towards 2.5°C - not 1.5°C. We have to stop taking about 1.5°C as a goal. It is not a goal, it’s a limit. A limit that will result in more climate disasters already.

This is appalling. We need to hold these companies accountable - and we need governments to implement rules that keep us under 1.5 degrees of warming. #climateemergency #endfossilfuelsubsidies #followthemoney #pollutersshouldpay amp.theguardian.com/sustainable-bu…

I had missed this exceptionally good short review & agenda setting paper on norm change by giulia andrighetto and Eva Vriens. Highly recommended. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10…

“June 2023 may be remembered as the start of a big change in the climate system, with many key global indicators flashing red warning lights amid signs that some systems are tipping toward a new state from which they may not recover.” insideclimatenews.org/news/04072023/…

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

The conference will feature a women’s event on May 29 to establish a Women’s Forum for Analytical Sociology----organized by Amalia Alvarez, Selcan, and Eva Vriens
