After a review of coverage by nine legacy UK newspapers, J. Painter, S. Cocks, and S. Hayes find that media framing is playing a significant role in shaping political debate around Net Zero, often without balanced evidence. See their new paper below. www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

Very happy to see this chapter come out, in which I capture lessons learnt and reflections from my own experiences of working in climate heritage and policy across academia, the private sector, IGOs and charities - written prior to my current role, mind you. www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edi...

By zapping seawater with electricity, scientists make a solid carbon-negative building material. In a double whammy, the method sucks up carbon dioxide and upcycles it into a material that can be used to make concrete, cement, plaster, and paint. www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/03/by-z...

In the midst of a sweltering summer, our research published last year shows people are highly concerned about climate change and support policies that address both climate and health. ✅ The UK public are highly supportive of the government target to reach NetZero by 2050 🧵

People are being “cooked alive”, yet #climatechange remains the politically charged hot potato. Time to invest heavily in long-term resilience. www.bbc.com/news/article...

There is growing evidence that climate change can have direct and indirect effects on mental health. This is especially true for extreme heat. 🌡️ The literature shows a clear relationship between increased temperatures and number of suicides and severe distress following extreme weather events🧵

🌿 The National Plant Monitoring Scheme has turned 10! More than 1,000 volunteers have gathered 250k+ botanical records that feed into the UK Biodiversity Indicators. Marking the milestone, the 2024 report shares surveyor stories & a timeline of NPMS highlights. 🔗 🧪 www.npms.org.uk/article/npms...

The British Academy says embedding the needs of people and addressing inequalities between communities is key to sustaining public support. Collaborative leadership will also be needed to achieve net zero in every city, town and neighbourhood in the country.

💧 Water is a fundamental need to sustain life on Earth. However, human activities are degrading water quality and severely threatening water security. 48% of wastewater is released into the environment and polluted rivers have reduced economic growth by 1.4-2.5% in downstream regions worldwide🧵

🧠Climate change affects all aspects of mental health, however it is absent in 58% of national climate adaptation policies. In a blog, @alemassazza.bsky.social & @jessnlv.bsky.social share new research by @climatecares.bsky.social & @unitedgmh.bsky.social on how to address this gap: buff.ly/Qlh5z8B
