Big thanks to UNEP for tirelessly providing results and inspiration for a more sustainable future - and for the work on a global environmental data strategy!

Hva har geitekillingen, kileskrift og KI til felles? Jeg har skrevet en lang tekst om typologier, metadata og naturforvaltning i et globalt perspektiv. #Naturforvaltning #KI #Bærekraft www.linkedin.com/pulse/naturf...

VG forteller om en trist drapssak. Men «langvarig død» er uvanlig. Faktisk er vel døden heller «evigvarende» eller «endelig»?

Tanzania will establish two new marine protected areas off the eastern coast of Pemba Island in the semiautonomous region of Zanzibar, the fisheries minister for Zanzibar announced at the United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, France, on June 10.

Snow leopards in the Kangchenjunga region regularly cross the borders of Nepal, India, and China in search of suitable habitat. Experts emphasize the need for cross-border conservation, standardized monitoring, and ecological corridors to ensure healthy leopard populations.

Kenya’s northern coast is rich with coral reefs, seagrass, and mangroves. All at the core of local ocean life and tourism. But as coastal towns grew, so did the wastewater challenges. @wcs.org and Sanivation came to the rescue. #OceanConservation #BlueEconomy medium.com/wcs-marine-c...

Today on #WorldOceanDay, at the Blue Economy Finance Forum, @unep.org joined partners to launch the co-design call for One Ocean Finance. This new facility will address chronic underinvestment, fragmentation & create an equitable, agile facility to help #SaveOurOcean www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Yesterday Norway delivered its feedback to the UNEP Global Environmental Data Strategy (GEDS). GEDS is an important and exciting initiative aiming at adressing the three major environmental crises: climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Read more about GEDS: www.unep.org/topics/digit...

Jeg syns handelsbalansen med REMA-butikken nede i gata er helt feil. Jeg har derfor bestemt meg for å legge en straffetoll på 50% på alle varene jeg kjøper fra REMA. Tollen går til borettslaget, det er bare rett og rimelig.

Det har vært flott å få vært med på dette arbeidet de siste 16 årene. Vi har fått til mye!

And we have no USAID to help 🥺😖😫

Trump: "We're gonna have tremendous goodies in the bag for women too. The women, between the fertilization and all the other things we're talking about, it's gonna be great. Fertilization. I'm still very proud of it, I don't care. I'll be known as the fertilization president and that's okay."

Det ligger an til EU-debatt på Senterpartiets landsmøte neste helg. Debatten vil dreie seg om å rope et høyest mulig «Nei!» inn i en desibelmåler. Biltema har en til 299 kroner. Løp og kjøp. Lykke til! www.biltema.no/verktoy/male...

Trump on Greenland: "Denmark is very far away. A boat landed there 200 years ago or something and they say they have rights to it. I don't know if that's true. I don't think it is, actually ... we really need it for national security ... maybe you'll see more and more soldiers go there."

Murstein eller høyteknologisk krigsmaskin? Litt begge deler? Tankevekkende artikkel i Morgenbladet skrevet av @hannejakobsen.bsky.social

Tesla-aksjen raser. Skulle selskapet implodere, blir det ikke bare eierne som får seg en trøkk – men også bilene, så tett integrert som de er med selskapet. Dersom serverne slukker, blir forskjellen mellom en Tesla og en murstein bare et spørsmål om størrelse. #tesla

I watched a news program very recently. It was from a crowded office. Apparently, the dumbest fascist in the office thought he had joined a fashionist movement.

Need to preserve this one for the truth and reconciliation commission.

The irony of renaming “The Gulf of Mexico” to “The gulf of America” is that in a way it could be worse. Guessing orange man, the president of USA, would be better off naming it “The gulf of USA”.

Latest from Vichy: Multiple top prosecutors appointed by former President Joe Biden to federal districts across the country were left without official means to communicate Friday after their government-issued phones and email accounts were deactivated, two sources familiar with the move tell CNN.

Great news and not too soon. As a daily user of QGIS i find it flexible and extraordinarily useful. Grand! @qgis.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy

Deep oceans - shallow data. How did we get here, and how can we do better? I think a lot about this. #UNOceanDecade

NRK vet bedre enn dette. Koblingen mellom nyhetssaken og oppfordringen om å sende bilde/video blir usmakelig. #nrk

Det er kanskje på tide å lage et kart? Et sånt som kan skrives ut og henges på veggen?

@mapsinthewild.bsky.social Found a nice map of Africa at a bar in #Malawi.

Bouldering in Lilongwe this afternoon. Nice bunch - nice place! #bouldering

Which themes will make it to our work program? What priorities will we end up with?
