Climate change adaptation isn’t just about crops, infrastructure, or income - it’s also about people’s social strategies. Our new article led by Paul Stacey examines how the concept of "social navigation” can help unpack this. It's Open Access and can be downloaded here: www.diis.dk/en/research/...

🧭 Can bureaucrats help advance #IndigenousRights? R. Kløcker Larsen et al. analyse cases across 4 continents: – States often sustain colonial agendas – Some officials enable decolonizing actions – Introduce “institutional braiding” to describe such agency 📄 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Many projects support “resilient livelihoods”, but does “resilience” and “livelihoods” mean the same thing to women and men? Our new paper led by Charlotte Maybom examines this question. It is open access and can be downloaded here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Trump's aid cuts are bad news for international climate finance. I looked through the available data to work out how bad... Around 8% of the climate finance pledged to developing countries by rich countries last year came from the US. Those funds are now under threat. ➡️ buff.ly/BuxwfSL

Why this wasn't front page news yesterday is beyond me. We know microplastics can act as vectors for toxins, and further exposure and rises in brain plastic content are near certainty baked in www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Researchers paid nearly $9 billion to publishers between 2019 and 2023 so you could read our work. Why? Why??

Around $11 billion a year of funding for climate projects in developing countries are under threat from Trump’s review www.climatechangenews.com/2025/01/21/t...

Locally Led Adaptation works. Our joint report examined locally led climate change adaptation in practice in Kenya and Tanzania, with promising results. www.diis.dk/en/research/... @diis.dk #ClimateChangeAdaptation

💡Emphasizing locally-led knowledge interventions in cases of neglected humanitarian crises💡 This blog highlights the launch of the Humanitarian Observatory in Namibia and its focus on addressing 'neglected crises' and their link to climate change. Read the full blog here: wp.me/p9fvbD-89Y

“Shaping Sustainable Futures: Global Challenges, (G)Local Solutions?" will be the overarching theme of the conference.

Southern Africa is in the midst of its worst drought in at least a century, with 27 million people affected and 21 million children suffering from malnutrition, according to the World Food Programme (WFP).

Global climate change worsens disasters, but blaming climate change alone deflects responsibility from effective local governance, infrastructure, and warning systems to multinational corporations and international climate mitigation efforts. Time to re-read @frediotto.bsky.social.

Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']: Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

Renewables are exceeding expectations - but so are emissions. Why? Part of the fossil economy's staying power comes from false promises of techno-neutralisation. CCS is the OG machine saviour. A new blog for you, on why its second coming hasn't come. ketanjoshi.co/2024/11/24/2... (+ thread)
