Very fortunate to be hearing from @exeter.ac.uk academics reporting back from latest climate negotiations in Brazil COP30, event hosted by @gsiexeter.bsky.social.

Join the GSI for our debrief on this year’s COP with a panel of University of Exeter delegates who will share their experiences and views on how this year’s conference has played out, its outcomes, and the impact research from Exeter has had on negotiations. #GSIExeter #COP30 #ClimateAction

Fascinating new paper from Joe Clarke et al., which addresses the question: could the climate-carbon system suffer a self-sustaining runaway feedback? @gsiexeter.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social esd.copernicus.org/articles/16/...

Do tune in to hear Dr Jonathan Bennie's (hybrid) talk "Shifting grounds: rethinking conservation in an age of rapid climate change" on Monday 24 November 1.30 - 2.30pm. www.exeter.ac.uk/research/ins... #esiChallengeOfTheMonth @cornwall.exeter.ac.uk @ilyamaclean.bsky.social @gsiexeter.bsky.social

Today sees the publication of the Global Carbon Budget 2025 at COP30 in Brazil, and this year's report shows that fossil fuel CO2 emissions have hit an all-time high in 2025.

Today marks the launch of the Global Carbon Budget 2025, led by academics at the GSI, at COP30 in Brazil. This year's report reveals the alarming continued increase of these emissions in 2025 in the face or worsening global crises. Read the full report here: globalcarbonbudget.org #GSIExeter

“The prevailing assumption is that the world has closed off pathways above 3°C warming – but in fact we could be derailed by vicious cycles in societies & nature. Catastrophic environmental change is still very much on the table“ - @jamesgdyke.info Assistant Director of @gsiexeter.bsky.social

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

Deliberation in action. People in #Exeter discussing priorities for what we need to do now to help us mitigate future risks as part of this afternoon's @gsiexeter.bsky.social assembly with @laurielaybourn.bsky.social

This is a fascinating film covering key issues of governance, business and political ideology within our worsening environmental crises. Pete will be screening 'Fires and Fascism' close to both our Cornwall and Exeter campuses this week with the opportunity to talk to the director. Tickets linked👇

This week: how to fix the climate crisis with @drkatemarvel.bsky.social and Tim ‘tipping point’ Lenton and @tinymaddie.bsky.social @uniexecec.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/5bwx...

Great to see coverage of @exeterassembly.bsky.social's Cool Hub initiative yesterday, providing water and a place to cool down in Exeter city centre. This initiative serves as a key example of the need for community adaptation in response to the climate crisis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oiv1...

Nice news piece on Canadian national news about our Convex SeascapeSurveywork. youtube.com/watch?v=DXhI... watch from 17:30 @exetermarine.bsky.social @gsiexeter.bsky.social

We are in Saguenay fjord, Canada for our next Convex Seascape Survey bioturbation experiment 😀 Working with colleagues from Southampton and Laval University. @exetermarine.bsky.social @gsiexeter.bsky.social

Any good news? Yes actually. Thanks to @gsiexeter.bsky.social's Steve Smith we get a reminder that some tipping points can actually be positive. Great new conversation. news.wickedproblems.uk/p/tipping-po...

🌊 Scientists from University of Exeter and @pml.ac.uk have urged caution in upscaling ocean carbon removal technologies until the environmental impacts are better understood. @exetermarine.bsky.social @gsiexeter.bsky.social @guyhooper.bsky.social news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-e...

🌱 How can a local eco-hub spark lasting change? Our research explored the impact of a Devon-based hub on pro-environmental behaviour, community inclusion, and wellbeing. Read more: sites.exeter.ac.uk/per/2025/07/... #CommunityResearch #Sustainability #PublicEngagement #EcoHub

📢 Applications welcome for a fully funded PhD project to work on tipping points @utas.edu.au in Australia! Study "Overshoots in Delay Differential Equations" with Dr Courtney Quinn, Prof Michael Charleston and myself (@gsiexeter.bsky.social). Closing date 1st August www.utas.edu.au/research/deg...

Appreciate the opportunity to write my first article with @uk.theconversation.com during the @gsiexeter.bsky.social Global Tipping Points Conference which reinforced the need to rapidly respond to climate tipping by leveraging positive tipping in our social, technical and environmental systems

What a week @Global Tipping Points conference @gsiexeter.bsky.social From stark warnings on very-near climate tipping points to identifying feedback loops, system rules (in finance, markets and culture) and mindset change we need for climate action 🌍 Heavy-hearted but determined & inspired ✊

BBC journalist Ashley Lime, based in Kenya, spoke at the Exeter Climate Conference yesterday about how climate change is an acute issue for Africa, affecting health, food security and economies, and how culture and tradition plays a role in shaping perceptions. ⤵️ 👀 she describe what gives her hope.

We’re into the last day at the Global Tipping Points Conference. A great week of panels, talks and workshops discussing tipping points in physical and human systems. Some of it a bit scary, but always some hope that there is still time for change. #GTPConference

Myles Allen with a straight forward message: To stop climate change, companies must stop selling stuff that cause global warming. @gsiexeter.bsky.social

Another thought provoking plenary at the @gsiexeter.bsky.social Global Tipping Points conference with a stellar panel of amazing speakers.

The amazing Larissa Van der Laan created this wonderful piece based on my abstract that I submitted to the #GTPConference. It perfectly captures threatened deep sea ecosystems and cold water coral reefs through gradual and abrupt global change that I describe in ESMs. @gsiexeter.bsky.social

As the Exeter Climate Forum gets underway at @exeter.ac.uk and amid a heatwave, "the evidence for climate change has never been clearer", says Professor Peter Cox, Director of @gsiexeter.bsky.social. @metoffice.gov.uk #exeterclimateforum www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's a lively start to the first day of our Global Tipping Points Conference with climate experts, policymakers, and researchers joining us from across the world to discuss climate tipping points and their potential impacts. #GSIExeter #GTPConference #TippingPoints
