COP29 has just started in Baku, Azerbaijan. Emily Boyd is interviewed about her expectations on this year's climate conference - especially in light of last year's landmark decision to establish a loss and damage fund. She highlights that there is still much that needs to be decided. – How should loss and damage be defined? And how do you measure it? We are in a phase where a lot of technical things have to be solved and tools need to be developed, in connection with money coming on the table. And how much money will it be? We don't know that either. The countries that promised resources are themselves cutting their budgets right now, she says. –Last year, everyone was euphoric because the promises about resources became something concrete. But now when you look at how little there is in relation to the climate impacts we see, policy makers need to take loss and damage more seriously, and climate adaptation as well. She mentions hurricanes Helen and Milton, and storm Babette in Sweden, as clear examples of the connection between climate change and losses. - Babette in October last year caused great damage and cost a great deal to Scanian municipalities. But I am still cautiously optimistic, on a local level. In Sweden, progress is now being made with climate adaptation and many municipalities are working very hard on this. Now we must also ensure that we support the Global South with their climate adaptation. climes - Swedish centre for impacts of climate extremes Read the article in Swedish at lu.se https://lnkd.in/du2wZgsk.

??Interview!?? ?? AI Meets Climate Action ?? We sat down with Swetha Kolluri, an AI & Digital Innovations Specialist at The World Bank, to talk about her pioneering work using AI for climate resilience in the Global South. Swetha discussed her efforts to support small farmers through carbon finance and climate-smart solutions. From impactful data-driven policies to global partnerships, she’s dedicated to creating change where it counts. Beyond work, Swetha's love for the environment runs deep. With a background in environmental data science from Yale, backed by a Fulbright, she’s also a passionate trekker planning hikes in the Himalayas to spotlight climate change up close. ?????

?? Welcome to the team, Aditya Narayan Mishra! ?? Dr. Aditya Narayan Mishra is now a postdoctoral researcher to climes – the Swedish Centre for Impacts of Climate Extremes at Uppsala University! Aditya joins us from Karl-Franzens-Universit?t Graz, where he earned his Ph.D. in Climate Science, specializing in regional climate modeling and the dynamics of extra-tropical storms. With expertise in climate simulation, atmospheric physics, and climate change impacts, Aditya will be a valuable addition to our interdisciplinary team. His work at climes will focus on developing advanced regional climate models to better understand the interplay between climate extremes and societal resilience. Aditya has contributed to, for example, in the study "The first multi-model ensemble of regional climate simulations at kilometer-scale resolution" where he worked together with researchers like Emanuela Pichelli, Erika Coppola, Stefan Sobolowski.
