A greener life, a greener world's latest Green Voices episode has landed! I speak to climate scientist @susannahfisher.bsky.social about her book Sink or Swim and what motivated her to write it. In this extract, she reflects on the importance of instilling hope. #GreenVoices #climatescience

Susannah’s book questions what structures nations/civilization may need to meet the challenges of adaptation & survival in a +2°C world. Perhaps a natural follow-on to David Wallace-Wells 2017 New York Times article “The Uninhabitable Earth”, & Jem Bendell's “Deep Adaptation" literature from 2018?

Climate change is driving 40% of UK food price hikes. Protecting households from spiralling costs of living means protecting the planet. It's time to kick the expensive fossil fuel habit and accelerate the shift towards heating & powering Britain with efficient renewables. @nebriefing.bsky.social

Happy to see a review of Sink or Swim in @westenglandbylines.co.uk. Thanks for reading!

I wrote about how five countries are adapting to climate change in @uk.theconversation.com @uclrdr.bsky.social @uclgrandchallenges.bsky.social theconversation.com/how-five-cou...

A new excerpt of my new book on adapting to climate change, Sink or Swim, is now up on @ssir.org celebrating the North American launch this week! @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social ssir.org/books/excerp...

I wrote a piece in the @newscientist.com on how we need more action on adaptation

Climate Change Made Hurricane Melissa Four Times More Likely: @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social study via @en.afp.com "Adaptation to climate change is vital but it is not a sufficient response to global warming. The emission of greenhouse gases also has to stop." www.barrons.com/news/climate...

Wondering what's happening on adaptation in COP 30 and beyond? Come to here me talk about how we need to adapt with Mark Maslin at @waterstones.bsky.social Gower Street on Nov 6th. Tickets here: www.waterstones.com/events/sink-... @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social @uclrdr.bsky.social

Even if we stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow, we've already done enough damage that we need to adapt today, as @susannahfisher.bsky.social explains. What does adapting to climate change really mean — for our homes, food, & communities? 🎧 Listen now: play.megaphone.fm/5duieo4is-ej...

A few weeks ago I talked to @climateone.org about what is means to adapt and how it is a time to build new futures with gritty hope. Have a listen!

So many conversations about the climate crisis focus on prevention. But no matter how well we succeed on that front, climate-induced disasters are already destroying lives & livelihoods, & causing hundreds of billions of $$ of damage. So how do we adapt? Find out on the latest from Climate One: 🎧👇

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to talk about my new book, Sink or Swim, with @dannydorling.bsky.social at @caper.fun. It was a really interesting conversation and a great first bookshop event for me. Have a listen below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApWV...

Recommended read: An extract from a new book on how the world needs to adapt to climate change, by Dr @susannahfisher.bsky.social, featured in Backchannel.

Backchannel are running some short extracts from my book in the run up to COP 30. The first one is up and includes a 25% discount code for UK buyers :) backchannel1.substack.com/p/why-do-we-...

Currently reading: Sink or Swim, by @susannahfisher.bsky.social - very good so far, and a hardback book without a dust cover is a classy object, no?

Well, here's some good news to start the weekend. Negotiating a treaty is one thing, but the work only starts once it's ratified and it looks as though the High Seas Treaty (aka BBNJ) will soon be up and running. This provides structure & standards & is a big step in protecting our ocean. 🎉🎉🌊

Looking forward to talking about my new book, Sink or Swim, about how we adapt to warming temperatures with @dannydorling.bsky.social in Oxford at @caper.fun tomorrow at 19:30! Tickets here: caper.fun/grownup-events @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social @chiffchat.bsky.social

My reading this morning! @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social @susannahfisher.bsky.social

Head to our Reddit page to ask Susannah Fisher a question in our latest AMA! tinyurl.com/bdeawsfa

One of the strongest, clearest increases in likelihood & intensity, attributable to climate change, I've seen in a complex index like fire weather - the more intense & frequent events in Greece & Türkiye are already outpacing efforts to adapt. www.worldweatherattribution.org/weather-cond...

Over breakfast, I began to read 'Sink or Swim' - the excellent new book by @susannahfisher.bsky.social. I only read the prologue but I'm so excited. It's unpicking lots of the challenging questions that are at the heart of transformational adaptation, and the tradeoffs with incremental approaches.

Delighted to see my new book Sink or Swim about the hard choices ahead to adapt to the impacts of climate change reviewed in the @financialtimes.com by @pilitaclark.bsky.social along with @billmckibben.bsky.social's brilliant new book on the rise of solar power.

The availability, price, shape, size and taste of the foods we take for granted is changing and will continue to change thanks to climate change and water shortages that are only going to get more severe www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Important point by @susannahfisher.bsky.social in her new book: "If I had been writing this book a few years ago I might have talked more about the highest-emission scenarios and painted a picture of an apocalyptic desert world of 4C or 5C.. The good news is, that is now not very likely" #optimism

Have, in the past, read and enjoyed @susannahfisher.bsky.social's Substack - so look forward to dipping into her new book. I might go to Bookshop.org for it rather than Amazon though. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/sink...

At the same time as all attention was on hurricanes Helene & Milton Nepal experienced heavy rain & devastating floods - also made worse by human-induced climate change & rapid urbanisation & an economy struggling after the 2015 Earthquake and Covid. www.worldweatherattribution.org/rapid-urbani...

The floods that have killed more than 1,000 people this year across Africa's Sahel region could return regularly as a result of climate change, says new study by @wwattribution.bsky.social. No paywall:

Terribly sad and shocking news about the loss of Saleem Huq. A mentor to so many, always generous with his time, and unrelenting in his search for high ambition on climate action, adaptation finance and loss and damage. He saw through the noise to what was important. Thinking of his family today.
