Tune in today for this free #COP30 Virtual Ocean Pavilion webinar on #Ocean #TippingPoints and why they matter

Understanding and Accelerating Collective Climate Action Important new report from @fdabl.bsky.social, @jksteinberger.bsky.social, @swaziadam.bsky.social, @berglundoscar.bsky.social and other leading thinkers in the climate movement A must read for all climate activists zenodo.org/records/1758...

A year ago, Spain was hit by deadly floods They were supercharged by climate change Yet in their wake, climate-denying politicians gained influence - which risks undermining climate action, making people less safe Today we publish new research on this troubling dynamic🧵 www.scri.org.uk/derailment

Climate Wake-Up Call🚨 New study finds UK MPs & public wildly overestimate the time left for #ClimateAction. Only a fraction knew the IPCC states global emissions must peak by 2025 to limit warming to 1.5˚C. Read the full findings ⬇️ tyndall.ac.uk/news/mps-and...

"Two US-based academics and experts said Rainforest Reserves Australia’s (RRA) claims in submissions about their work were “100% misleading” and “absurd"...the organisation’s submission writer has admitted using AI." And, look who supports RRA ;) www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Hi all! I’m looking for research jobs in social psychology, environmental action, & climate policy. I study pro-environmental action, moral and identity processes, scientist advocacy, and universities’ climate responses. I use qualitative and quantitative methods for research with real-world impact.

The second Global Tipping Points Report has been launched today. Please see our press release here: www.leeds.ac.uk/news/article... Find the full report here: global-tipping-points.org @gsiexeter.bsky.social #TippingPoints #COP30

What are 'derailment risks' and how are they rapidly increasing? Join me for an in-person & online panel discussion at Chatham House, London: 28 OCTOBER 2025 — 5:00PM TO 6:00PM www.chathamhouse.org/events/all/r...

If you’re in Leeds on the 15th of October, come to my inaugural lecture on “Facing Accelerating Climate Change Threat - Exploring Future Trajectories, Surveying the Past and the Present” www.tickettailor.com/events/fssev...

British NIMBYism is truly a sight to behold. “We are rejecting this solar farm, because one time I saw an electric vehicle on fire, which reminded me that decades ago a coal mining disaster killed lots of children”.

I am SO EXCITED about this! Many folks want to take personal action on climate change, but many resources treat people like monoliths. Enter SHIFT -- a collaboration between Dr. Kim Nicholas and Project Drawdown -- that tailors advice for YOU, using your climate superpowers. jointheshift.earth

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it? Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🌍 Carbon storage is not a limitless climate solution. A new IIASA-led study in @nature.com shows that safe, practical underground carbon storage could reduce warming by only 0.7°C – almost 10 times less than earlier estimates of 6°C. Read more 🔗 iiasa.ac.at/news/sep-202... @gidden.bsky.social

People do care! Exposure to moral appeals (moral implications of fossil fuels etc.) can reduce people's carbon footprints, while also increasing climate-related civic and political action, though it may backfire among individuals with strong egoistic values. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🌴 Ahead of the much awaited #ICJ #AdvisoryOpinion on state obligations regarding #climatechange, on 23rd July, happy to share a piece I wrote for the @uk.theconversation.com: theconversation.com/how-young-pe... Celebrating the vision and effort of the #youngpeople in this 🌍

Here is a great summary of the #GlobalTippingPoints Conference 2025 in Exeter by @carbonbrief.org: www.carbonbrief.org/tipping-poin... The conference was a call for action as we head towards #COP30 at which the 2nd updated Global Tipping Points Report will be launched

Long in the making, finally happening this week at Brussels: #GenAIResearchRetreat2025 - Exploring new generative #AI methods for understanding dynamic complex social and socio-ecological systems. Exciting programme, great group: computationalclimateactionlab.github.io/genai2025rr/...

Happening today "Accelerating Social Change in Response to the Climate and Ecological Crisis" in Friends House, London: cdp.leeds.ac.uk/events/accel... So excited to learn from so many wonderful contributors. A co-produced policy brief will summarise the man insights and recommendations.

Important reminder from @katiesurma.bsky.social that environmental defenders face violence or the threat of, sanctioned & otherwise, so often. Long neglected focus of #environmentalsecurity work.

With current trends and policies, we'll transgress all planetary boundaries in 2050, except for ozone depletion. Targeted interventions — e.g., the Paris Agreement — can help, but not enough. More effective policy measures are needed to ensure we live well within the planetary boundaries.

Scientists just found a way to break through climate apathy #Climate

"...for protests to succeed, they must be backed by movements with the ability to promise to withhold—labor, debt payments, rent payments, or consumer support—and to follow through if demands aren’t met." Glad to have gotten the opportunity to push this line in Time time.com/collections/...
