@jfmorin.bsky.social doesn’t just write brilliantly about innovation, he embodies it! After pioneering a comic book format, he now introduces a new manuscript type. A truly fruitful collaboration with the @esg-journal.bsky.social that pushes the boundaries of academic publishing! Congrats and thks!

The G7 Summit ended today with a series of statements outlining members’ commitments to address 🌎 crises—yet only the Chair's summary makes a passing reference to climate. Our response: iisd.org/articles/sta...

So proud and full of admiration for my mentor @jfmorin.bsky.social and co-author Jamie Michaels for breaking new ground in academia with this powerful comic on wildfires and climate change. A bold, thought-provoking, super creative, & deeply needed contribution.

Just 1️⃣5️⃣ more ratifications for the @WTO 🐟 deal to enter into force! With Moldova's acceptance, 96 members are on board to curb harmful fishing subsidies. Let’s keep pushing forward to protect fish stocks & coastal communities. 🌏 💡 Learn more: buff.ly/Xc8XI2P @alicetipping.bsky.social

Critical minerals are becoming central to trade & investment policies. As economies decarbonize & supply chains diversify, attention to the geopolitics of critical minerals grows. Trade & investment agreements are evolving, but not fast enough 🔗 buff.ly/cV7Wj44

Considering the health, environmental, and socioeconomic implications of eliminating or reducing #chemicals in "live" use is a difficult balancing act—one the #StockholmConvention must increasingly perform. Read ➡️ enb.iisd.org/articles/Sto... @brsconventions.bsky.social #2025BRSCOPs

Very simply, cutting world-class #climate research because the results make you feel bad is like refusing to pay for critical medical tests because you're afraid of finding out you're sick. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/c...

In 2023 #G7 members’ fossil fuel subsidies reached a high of USD 282 billion. With the 2025 deadline for phasing out “inefficient” subsidies looming, hitting the target appears unlikely. So where do we go from here? Our energy experts explain ▶️ buff.ly/wECUakA

Just also noting that there are a lot of us earlier career folks putting our names on this. If we can do this, so can (and so should) more senior folks
