Our own Vigdis Vandvik will be Coordinating Lead Author on the upcoming seventh #IPCC report, co-leading the chapter on climate change, #biodiversity, #ecosystems and ecosystem services on land and in freshwater. A big, challenging, and very exciting task! @vvandvik.bsky.social shorturl.at/07NJf

@unibergen.bsky.social is electing their new rector soon. What do they think about sustainability? @uibcet.bsky.social, CeSAM and UiB's Bærekraftspilotene asked the questions, the teams answered. www.uib.no/en/cesam/176... #universitydemocracy #sustainability #debate @vvandvik.bsky.social

Rektordebatt om bærekraft @unibergen.bsky.social med Team Hagen og Team Øvreås. Gjør vi nok? #universitetsdemokrati @uibcet.bsky.social @cesam-uib.bsky.social & Bærekraftspilotene

Forskere advarer om at vi nærmer oss et kritisk vippepunkt for Amazonas, der avskoging kan utløse en irreversibel kollaps. Professor @vvandvik.bsky.social forklarer. www.energiogklima.no/to-grader/ek...

Demokratisk fallitt i naturpolitikken? Hvis våre folkevalgte kan legge flisespikkeri og politisk markeringsbehov til side og stemme for det de faktisk er for, er det fortsatt et glimt av håp om en mer kunnskapsbasert og virkningsfull handlingsplan for naturen. I Khrono: www.khrono.no/demokratisk-...

Excellent discussions this morning with @vvandvik.bsky.social and Ingunn Myklebust. How is nature policy formed? What is the role of scientists in this process? What are opportunities and limitations when it comes to legislation in that process? Should academia have a bigger role in all of this?

Why did @vvandvik.bsky.social, Ingunn Myklebust and others write the scientist's appeal for the nature deal? What came of it? Join this breakfast seminar tomorrow at 8:30 at the UiB University museum to learn what happened, what did NOT happen, and how to move further. www.uib.no/fg/vitdem/17...

Come work with us! Fully funded #PhD position in applied ecology to devellop #climate and #nature budgeting approaches to support knowledge-based decision-making a the municipailty level. 🧪🗺️🌿🍄🐜 @uibcet.bsky.social @cesam-uib.bsky.social @bjerknes.bsky.social www.jobbnorge.no/nn-no/ledige...

@vvandvik.bsky.social argues for fact-based area management in Norway: www.kommunal-rapport.no/meninger/are...

Godt om hvorfor det er farlig, kunnskapsløst og arrogant å omtale naturhensyn som hensyn til «særinteresser som naturelskere» fra @dagmarhagen.bsky.social www.adressa.no/debatt/i/LMm...

Inspiring and engaged dialogue meeting at Alver kommune today. How can Norwegian municipalities work with the global (and national) biodiversity framework? Bridging local decision makers, ecologists, and many other local actors. #biosphere @unibergen.bsky.social #nordhordland #unesco #biosphere

I disse dager behandler Energi- og miljøkomiteen på #Stortinget Regjerningens #naturmelding. Dette er en viktig sak, og hva som skjer her vil være helt bestemmende for om Norge greier å oppfylle den globale #naturavtalen. Og det er mye står på spill! (en tråd) www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-...
