"Existing demand-side climate change mitigation policies neglect avoid options". Read our new paper led by @alinabrad.bsky.social and @etienneschneider.bsky.social on the abundant policy measures aiming to reduce household emissions in Austria and their limited effect: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Der eben veröffentlichte Report zu Global Tipping Points zeigt, dass manche Kipppunkte im Erdsystem bereits angestoßen wurden. Ein Beispiel ist die tropische Korallenbleiche. Die Risiken steigen mit der weiterhin ungebremst voranschreitenden Erderhitzung. global-tipping-points.org

Super Video Zusammenfassung des Kapitels zu Landnutzung & Ökosystemen im 🇦🇹 Klimabericht: 🌾 Landwirtschaft = 10 % der THG-Emissionen Österreichs 🌍 16% der Agrarimporte stammen aus klimaanfälligen Regionen Lösungen: 🥩 Weniger Tierprodukte, 🌱 mehr Natur, 🔄 Konflikte fair lösen #AAR2 #APCC

The Austrian Assessment Report on Climate Change #AAR2 by #APCC is now published. aar2.ccca.ac.at @ccca.ac.at Here are eight key messages:

📘 Die BOKU-Autor*innen des Zweiten Österreichischen Sachstandsberichts zum Klimawandel rufen zu einer entschlossenen Klimapolitik auf: short.boku.ac.at/92odzp001000...

Heute wurde der Klimabericht #AAR2 - der Zweite Österreichische Sachstandsbericht zum Klimawandel - veröffentlicht! In Kooperation & mit Begleitung des CCCA wurde der Bericht von rund 200 Wissenschaftler:innen erarbeitet. Die Vollversion & die Zusammenfassungen findet ihr hier: aar2.ccca.ac.at

Erstmals seit Mitte der 1960-er Jahre - also seit 60 Jahren - nimmt der Holzvorrat im Wald leicht ab. Damit hat der Wald - trotz nach wie vor leicht wachsender Waldfläche - in der letzten Periode wohl netto keinen Kohlenstoff mehr aus der Atmosphäre aufgenommen. www.bfw.gv.at/pressemeldun...

🚨Ausschreibung: studentische Mitarbeit! Wir suchen jemanden, der*die bei der Recherche (quantitativer) Informationen zu Waldweide in Österreich im 19. Jh unterstützt🌳🌲🐂📖 . Diverse Studienrichtungen willkommen boku.ac.at/fileadmin/da... @zug-wien.bsky.social

Two more job vacancies! post doc position (full time, 6y) in the field of political ecology (e.g., new conflicts, changing geopolitical/North-South relations, more-than-human approaches). Please share widely and contact me for any queries 1/2 boku.ac.at/fileadmin/da...

Calling univ profs & lecturers! If you want to bring concepts from Doughnut Economics into your teaching, we've just launched a webpage bursting with resources for you: 7 slide decks, reading lists, videos & activities - all open access. Dive in & pls reshare! doughnuteconomics.org/university-c...

We are hiring! Post doc (full time, 6y) in the fields of social ecology, ecological/feminist economics or similar (e.g., provisioning systems, degrowth, environmental labor studies, socio-ecological practices). Please share and contact me for any queries. Deadline: 9th Dec boku.ac.at/fileadmin/da...

Time to prepare an abstract: The deadline for the 13th biennial ESEH conference, in Uppsala, Sweden, is on 31 October. Alongside the conventional formats, this conference welcomes "Different World Sessions" like history cafes, poetry slams, debates, artistic interventions and more. #envhist #envhum

Forest recovery can be beneficial for people and nature, but this is not necessarily so. Check out our new paper led by C Kull on nine pitfalls when equating forest transitions with shifts towards more sustainability! Open access now www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

🚨 Endlich heraußen: der APCC Special Report: Landnutzung und Klimawandel in Österreich! Alles darüber, wie Landnutzung in 🇦🇹 - den Klimawandel beeinflusst - vom Klimawandel betroffen ist - das Klima schützen kann Open access e-book hier 👉 link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

New paper with Léonore Darrobers, Andreas Magerl: "Timber trade in the United States of America 1870 to 2017. A socio-metabolic analysis" Using social metabolism indicators, we show how the United States imported more and more wood since 1870, while domestic forests recovered. Open access 👇#envhist

Very cool new project funded by the Austrian Science Funds. We will investigate the resilience and malleability of social metabolism - that is, how to cope with supply chain disruptions while trying to move towards sustainability & justice. Here IIASA's press release iiasa.ac.at/news/mar-202...

New paper out: "Livestock increasingly drove global agricultural emissions growth from 1910–2015" We quantify and analyze long-term emissions from global agricultural activities. Growing livestock production played a key role & overcompensated efficiency increases of agricultural industrialization👇

The Austrian 🇦🇹 climate-science community is writing a national Climate Assessment Report (#AAR2) following the process & structure of the IPCC - and at @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social, we're hiring an earlycareer researcher to support the co-chairs & authors geographie.uibk.ac.at/unicms/chls/...

Wie kann Landnutzung helfen das Klima zu schützen? Dazu habe ich im Online Standard mit Karlheinz Erb und Christian Lauk einen kurzen Beitrag geschrieben.
