This is what we came to Baku to do—put our science on the agenda and into the hands of decision makers at the highest levels to shape a better climate future. We will share further analysis of the final outcomes of COP29 in coming days and weeks. And we know that the end of one COP is simply the beginning of another. Already, our sights are set on the road to COP30. Here are two key accomplishments from the second and final week of COP29: ?? In partnership with the Environmental and Energy Study Institute, we put the growing challenge of carbon pollution from wildfires on the official program with the only side event on the topic. We highlighted the latest science which suggests that the next round of national climate commitments—due to the UN in February, 2025—needs to be even more ambitious. ??Brazil, the host of next year’s COP, was one of the first to release their new climate pledge. Woodwell Climate scientists provided significant consultation on the plan, which prominently features ecosystem conservation, climate justice, and sustainable development, as well as science-based decision making and a new Tropical Forests Forever Fund to finance forest protection. #ClimateScienceforChange #ClimateCOP #COP29

At Woodwell Climate, we're always striving to communicate more effectively with you, our valued community. To help us in this effort, we’re conducting a short survey and would love your feedback. The survey will only take about 5-7 minutes of your time and will allow us to better refine our messaging, improve the materials we share, and ensure we’re delivering meaningful, accessible information. Your responses will remain confidential, and will help us better understand how to communicate our work on climate solutions needed to propel us toward a more equitable, healthy, and sustainable world. If you complete the survey, you can choose to be entered into a prize drawing—five lucky winners will win a choice of Woodwell Climate merchandise. https://lnkd.in/eZkvp3np

It's critical that the global circumpolar wildland fire crisis and the accompanying permafrost/yedoma thaw be included in the 7th assessment cycle (AR7) of the IPCC. The disturbances in the north cannot be ignored, and Gwich'in Council International has worked diligently to make sure that our communities are heard, and the impacts are understood. We were proud to join Woodwell CRC in Baku at this official COP 29 side-event to do just that.

It's the most wonderful time of the year -- The Geohipster calendar is out and this year it includes a permafrost map (February) from Woodwell Climate Research Center's Christina Shintani ?? https://lnkd.in/eJbPNvZp
