Back online! Our preprint Adverse Climate is republished after a platform hiccup. A journey of 22 authors across 20+ countries. Voices too often sidelined — now at the center. 📄 Link: doi.org/10.31223/X5W... #ClimateScience #Diversity #GlobalSouth

Silence sustains the status quo. We chose courage. Our essay, Adverse Climate, uses IPCC AR6 as a case study to expose exclusion of GS & POC in global science — and propose change. Republished today on EarthArXiv. 📄 Read here: doi.org/10.31223/X5W... #ClimateJustice #IPCC #DEI

Using IPCC AR6 WGII as a case study, we document lived experiences of exclusion—opaque author selection, ignored voices, & resource inequities. These aren’t just IPCC issues; they’re systemic in science doi.org/10.31223/X59... FAQs: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Our new paper, “Adverse Climate,” reveals how systemic barriers limit Global South, POC, & women’s voices in #IPCC AR6. As a Global South woman of color & AR7 CLA, I’m proud to lead this call for #ClimateEquity. Read it: doi.org/10.31223/X59... FAQs in comment 👇🏽 #DEIinScience #ClimateJustice

Good article on how wildfires and their impacts are changing as things heat up..! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/m...

Happy to share that I’ve been selected as a Coordinating Lead Author of the #SmallIslands chap of IPCC #AR7 Working Group II … with Dr Sindra Sharma Denyse S. Dookie Kesha Fevrier Georgiana Gordon-Strachan Stefano Moncada Estelle Razanatsoa Kevon Rhiney Adelle Thomas & Morgan Wairu

In 2018, 25 young people with the support of NGO Dejusticia took the Colombian government to court arguing that their right to a healthy environment was under threat from deforestation. They won, in an judgment that went further than they could have hoped. But did the court ruling change anything?

Encouraging - but the caveat no one’s talking about= robust attribution science impossible sans historical climate/obs data - which are not available within majority of vulnerable nations already @ front lines of climate impacts —> accountability will remain limited for most part to the global north

Today a German court ruled on a lawsuit filed by Peruvian farmer Saúl Luciano Lliuya against fossil fuel company RWE, seeking accountability for climate change-related damage. While the court dismissed the specific claim, it affirmed that emitters of global warming pollution can be held liable.

Happy to share my thoughts on gender & GS/GN inequity within climate science for the Caribbean Climate Justice Project @lisaschipper.bsky.social @rbeznerkerr.bsky.social @drmacaretta.bsky.social @farhanasultana.com @charliejgardner.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/2a1p...

The European-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change is hosting a resource page that will gather hopefully expanding resources on overshoot, as this research area will grow over time: overshoot.cmcc.it. Press release here: www.cmcc.it/article/over...

Overshoot: A Conceptual Review of Exceeding and Returning to Global Warming of 1.5°C. Once we exceed 1.5°C, is it all lost? Can we get back to it from above? What risks would that avoid, and which ones not? Great collaboration with a range of IPCC authors! www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Our paper on Overshoot just out - as we draw closer to breaching 1.5 deg threshold - this concept will likely become a big part of public and policy narratives But what does this mean for small islands and other most vulnerable peoples and nations? www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

.. “.. it is the victims of this ongoing disaster who are most qualified to show the world a way through ..if only the powerful would listen” As a small islander this resonates at multiple levels www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ma...

This is fascinating …

At the High Court of England & Wales today where @oceanauk.bsky.social is challenging UK government over North Sea oil and gas licencing. It's a lawsuit combining both climate and nature/biodiversity litigation, based on premise that fossil fuel extraction has huge impacts both locally and globally

The Ecological and Climate Crises Legal Institute (ECCLI) now publicly launched - the 1st (to my knowledge) endeavour seeking to develop an increasingly needed interface bet science & (international) law -including training for interested parties -more soon www.fijivillage.com/news/The-tim...

A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

After citizen's arresting Thames Water CEO, the Police arrived to speak with Thames executives, took our evidence and said they would investigate. We've also asked the lawyers who advised us in putting that dossier together to submit it to the CPS to take this criminal matter forward.

Agreed @lisaschipper.bsky.social … my sleep debt is steadily increasing - it still worth it…

We also mention the ‘paralysis narrative’ which comes from a place of (minority world aka global north) privilege by colleagues who have likely not had much personal experience with climate impacts and loss …

1/ Yes the globally wealthy have outsized emissions, and yes that’s a massive problem But it’s actually only a small part of their devastating influence on the conditions that support life 🧵

As the historic ICJ advisory opinion public hearings begin next week - the fate of Small Islands will be impacted - but in which direction? Happy to have been part of this by developing a scientific report that was submitted by COSIS for this AO www.promiseeurope.law.ucla.edu/news/small-i...

Why do we keep expecting GN politicians, CEOs of Oli&Gas comps & Petrostate COP presidents to step up and save us? Completely daft & illogical!! They & their predecessors= architects of the climate crisis & are the ones who profit the most from gross inaction. Drastic reform/replacement needed ASAP

The COP concept is BROKEN: we need an alternative - abundantly clear that expecting Global north politicians and CEOs of Oil&Gas comps from Petrostates to fix climate crisis = daft & wishful thinking - they & their predecessors = architects of the crisis & continue to enable fossil fuel indistries

Melinda Janki is truly inspiring- consistently standing up to Big Oil and her Government. Apart from significant emissions - the risky drilling operations are endangering much of the Caribbean's ecosystems and livelihoods www.desmog.com/2024/11/19/q...
