Thanks to everyone who made the Critical Decade for Climate Action Conference such a success, earlier this month. Still to come: session briefings, standout posters, further insights & a new Collection of Publications. Let's continue to push #ClimateAction forward🌍 ➡️ tyndall.ac.uk/events/criti...

Key message from our new report: cutting methane is "the *fastest & most cost-effective lever* to slow warming within our lifetimes". And behavioural change is central to this - making plant-based food more accessible and cheaper; and changing choice environments to cut food waste.

New journal article identifies 'a gap between ambitious climate commitments and the depth of systemic change being pursued': risking delayed emissions reductions and increased residual emissions⚠️ Access the article:

Four key research areas drive our mission: 🌍 Accelerating social change 🌱 Achieving wellbeing 🥬 Boosting adaptation and resilience ♻️ Reaching net zero emissions Stay informed about our #ClimateResearch projects and updates: tyndall.ac.uk/research ⬇️

📄New research in Carbon Management shows how climate change-driven heatwaves and storms could strain Britain's future #NetZero power system. Resilience will depend on demand flexibility - shifting when & how we use electricity. Read more:

JOB VACANCY: Strategic Research Lead - Ocean and Climate @noc.ac.uk in Southampton or Liverpool

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the Tyndall Centre has just hosted its largest ever climate conference on the UEA campus in Norwich, UK - ‘The Critical Decade for Climate Action':

😊 Delighted to announce I'll be a Lead Author for ch.8 of @ipcc.bsky.social's Seventh Assessment Report, alongside 663 experts from 111 countries, as part of Working Group III. Analysis by @carbonbrief.org shows increasing diversity of IPCC authorship: tinyurl.com/462pvby9 #IPCC #ClimateReport

We revisit our pioneering 2005 study on decarbonising the UK, 25 years on... While UK energy usage is lower than anticipated, many chances to leverage this have been missed. Let's focus on action driven by evidence ⬇️ tyndall.ac.uk/news/the-tyn... #Tyndall25UEA

Thank you to everyone who made the Critical Decade for Climate Action Conference such a success last week! Next: session briefings, poster highlights, key takeaways & a new Collection of Publications. Renewed focus for #ClimateAction ahead🌍 ➡️ tyndall.ac.uk/events/criti... #Tyndall25UEA

That‘s a wrap on #Tyndall25UEA Coming out of the conference inspired and grateful to be part of this research centre. I also had the pleasure to present my research and discuss thoughts on unlocking climate action at scale with @alfiegaffney.bsky.social @neiladger.bsky.social and Sandra Bögelein!

Final session of #Tyndall25UEA with reflections from former @tyndallcentre.bsky.social directors including @kevinclimate.bsky.social, and @cast-centre.bsky.social's @lwhitmarsh.bsky.social. Realism, the need for action, climate in a messy world, voices from the Global South, value of social science.

Thank-you @tyndallcentre.bsky.social for the fantastic conference on this critical decade for climate action! So many common challenges on both sides of the english channel and beyond! #Tyndall25UEA

#CriticalDecade for #ClimateAction Conf, Day 3: 📘 Plenary w/ Nigel Topping, Charlie Wilson & Jim Hall 💭 Directors reflect: What needs to be done differently for climate action? W/ Robert Nicholls, @lwhitmarsh.bsky.social, Mike Hulme, @clequere.bsky.social & @kevinclimate.bsky.social #Tyndall25UEA

Thought provoking discussions happening at the Critical Decade for Climate Action Conference with delegates and partners across the Tyndall Centres. The research presented provides a stark reminder that to see change & impact through climate action and policy, we must work together. #Tyndall25UEA

An exciting day to be in attendance here at UEA. Discussing important topics and themes around climate policy and practice, to help develop understanding of the impact of climate change and the ways we can translate research into effective climate action. #Tyndall25UEA #ClimateAction

Day 2 of our Critical Decade for Climate Action Conf: 🔑 Keynotes: Daniela Jacob @gerics.bsky.social & Jason Lowe @metoffice.gov.uk 📘Plenary on resilient #NetZero w/ Rob Wilby, @alistaircford.bsky.social & Jaise Kuriakose Full agenda ➡️ buff.ly/OU12qBa #Tyndall25UEA

Immensely privileged to be participating in #Tyndall25UEA. Had some fantastic conversations throughout the day and really enjoyed the poster evening. It’s not every day you get to display your work at an international climate conference 😁

2️⃣5️⃣ years on, the Tyndall Centre's new anniversary assessment report - led by @manchester.ac.uk - updates our ground-breaking 2005 report. UK energy use is lower than expected but but opportunities to act on this potential were largely missed. It's time for evidence-led action ⬇️ #Tyndall25UEA

Keynote at #Tyndall25UEA conference by @goneri76.bsky.social He links zero CO2 by 2050 with Paris 1.5°C commitment without overshoot, etc. I really can’t see how this can be possible. Latest 50% 1.5°C carbon budget is ~90GtCO2 from start 2026; just over 2 yrs of current global CO2. #CriticalDecade

Here we go! @tyndallcentre.bsky.social 25 anniversary: Critical decade for climate action conference.

Interested to see insights from Tyndall at 25 event tyndall.ac.uk/events/criti... - what have we learnt since 2000 - a little under 1 trillion tonnes of CO2 ago? I’ll be adding my two penn’orth later today - with my transcript posted on climateuncensored.com soon. #Tyndall25UEA #CriticalDecade
