Kia ora Te Akatoki - Māori Students Association at UC thanks for kapa haka and waiata today at Tūranga! #TeWikioteReoMāori ^DR

We do not generate more income as a nation by giving tax cuts to land lords or tax breaks for billionaires selling heated tobacco products - instead we generate inequality and deplete health #WrongTrack #nzpol

We hope you will join us in uplifting Indigenous voices, strengthening connections across regions, and carrying this shared energy into the Indigenous Forum at Adaptation Futures 2025. #AF2025

WTF is going on at RNZ #NZPol? Do they really need to put "genocide" in quotes almost every time it's mentioned? 🙄 www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I was reminded of an account I wrote about witnessing the student protests about dramatic rises in tertiary fees in 2010, when I was living & working in the UK. My account seems so naive, yet so much that took place that day has resonated for the next 15 years www.opendemocracy.net/en/where-hav...

proud (& a big responsibility) to be awarded today ‘Best Conference Paper’ for our paper ‘Attending to the tā & the vā: re-imagining civics education to support Indigenous Youth Leadership in chaotic climate futures’ by the American Political Science Association (Scholarship in Teaching & Learning)

Goodness we’re nearly at 1600 registrations in person/online for Adaptation Futures 2025 & we haven’t even really announced any ‘keynotes’! For me this is people power -so many scientists & communities want to make a difference despite (or because of?) all the global political challenges 🙏❤️💪 #AF2025

A shout out for Running into the Sun -a scorching /hopeful reflection on life set against the unfolding climate crisis & horrors of Gaza. Winner of Melbourne Fringe best play & best emerging theatre group. A jam packed hour of music/dance/acting touring NZ now! flatcityfieldnotes.com/2025/09/10/r...

Being signed today - we have to wait to find out what is in it!

NZ is signing an agreement to advance security relationships with the the UK - UK high commissioner to UK Iona Thomas said she welcomed the signing of a closer security agreement with the UK

What is Climate Justice? A special paper to write-it took a while! One child/school is named, but many reviewed it, improving it greatly🙏. I loved writing with Chandni Singh & Milly Woods.

Are you presenting at Adaptation Futures 2025? The #AF2025 Science Committee has set a challenge for new directions in adaptation research!

We are honoured to announce that Dr Youssef Nassef will deliver the opening address to the Early Career Networking to Accelerate Adaptation workshop on Sunday, October 12. He will then join the opening Adaptation Futures 2025 keynote plenary on Monday, 13 October.

Gosh why could the NZ minority Act Party be announcing (again) it wants to pullout of Paris (again)? Gee I could not imagine…. But whatever the reason (whisper) it’s not actually working… www.roymorgan.com/findings/100...

Shout out to who ever had the smart idea at @exeter.ac.uk to get the NZ Black Ferns handing out the flat whites! 😉

Significant new information in this investigative article I've co-authored with Dr Ryan Ward on the foreign ideology influence behind the Regulatory Standards Bill.

I have an article in E-Tangata today on the government's proposals to overhaul conservation, including removing decision-making from communities, increasing commercial activities and even the saleability of the conservation estate.

‘Running into the Sun’ the award winning show about living now is touring NZ in September - catch it www.facebook.com/share/19c2X4...

New piece on Carbon Colonialism, net-zero nonsense, and how the UK Government's climate advisors (and many experts) shy away from speaking truth to power. We need a fundamental reboot of climate policy; - physics doesn't care about political sensibilities. theconversation.com/the-uks-year...

Voices arguing that climate action is a waste of time are getting louder. Here’s why they are wrong - Optimism may be hard to come by but the evidence shows some progress on emissions is not just possible – it’s happening now by @adammorton.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

There are a lot of details in yesterday's sweeping executive order, but the bottom line is that it gives political appointees immense power over scientific grants, which have until now been stewarded by career civil servants and experts. My reporting: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Kia ora NZ friends, if you missed the Don McGlashan & CSO orchestra last night you missed something extraordinary, & like the Marlon Williams events the feeling the current government is losing the hearts of ‘middle NZ’ was palpable -an entirely sold out town hall cheering his defence of Te Reo

My new @science.org editorial on the role of scientists in defending democracy is out today. As authoritarianism takes hold in the US, we must fight for the democratic principles that enable a free society and scientists have a key role. I hope you'll join us. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Low-income and minority ethnic people in England most at risk from dangerously hot homes - Homes are heating up as summers get hotter but least well-off are shouldering greatest risk, study finds #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Just caught the NZ Prime Minister saying that his govt will cut ‘green tape’. No matter your political view this is odd given Govt is also relying on a ‘pure NZ’ tourism marketing slogan to drive economic recovery www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

The chaotic scenes of mass arrests as the British government lost its social consent to police in the context of public moral outrage and despair about Palestine is the type of risk I discussed with RUSI - Royal United services institute in 2022 in the context of climate www.rusi.org/research-eve...

As the queen of typos this made me laugh so much, there is so much money spent on university branding…

a real struggle going on over control of international meetings - whether it is COP or Plastics, oceans or peace processes - global meetings do make a difference which is why there is such effort to derail their agendas

In NZ a Sunday column today focuses on gender divides between young men/women voters. But in reality in NZ our divide is deeper between older men vs everyone else (including older women!) The moral panic that young men are ‘lurching right globally’ obscures much longer history of gendered politics

When you move the butter price promotion to find..

The Act party presumably influenced by lobby groups internationally, pushed hard with some regressive farm lobbies to try to get National to withdraw from Paris. However the ICJ decision is clear ALL countries can be held liable for inaction, NZ can’t shirk obligations by leaving the Paris Agreement

Will you live an unprecedented life? In our new paper in @nature.com and accompanying @savethechildren.org report, we detect who will face unprecedented lifetime exposure to climate extremes (🧵) 1/n Report: resourcecentre.savethechildren.net/document/bor... Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

why does coal use she/her pronouns

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

No country for young women? quite dramatic how NZ political polls are now consistently splitting by gender & age as older men support the National Act / NZ first coalition government by about 70 percent. While about 70 of women under 50 favour the opposition. www.roymorgan.com/findings/998...

Digital #AF2025 resources, including email signatures and social media graphics, are available for attendees to download and use online. We’d love for you to take a look and use the resources so that as many people as possible hear about your contribution to Adaptation Futures 2025.

It’s voter suppression, plain and simple. Banning enrolment 13 days before the election will hit young Māori the hardest, 48% of 18–19 y/o Māori voters enrolled during that window in 2023. They know what they’re doing. Help us end this tyranny #EnrolToVote #NZPol #OneTermGovt

🥳 Congratulations @dannydorling.bsky.social! Seven Children: Inequality and Britain’s Next Generation has been shortlisted for the Bread & Roses Award for Radical Publishing! 👏👏 @lighthousebks.bsky.social👇 lighthousebookshop.com/posts/announ...

Hopefully the NZ govt will now backtrack on deeply unfair & undemocratic plans to change electoral processes - plans which threaten to erode trust in govt & elections. The National govt needs more experienced MPs to help it regain the middle ground it is losing #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/07/28/a...

Insurance companies will no longer be able to cover the UK's most flood-exposed homes, because "the [flooding] problem is....now worse than when we started" (climate change huh?) 350k homes will become uninhabitable Should the oil industry pay to cover this? www.ft.com/content/c439...
