A sneak peek at my new book - work in progress - 'The Adventures of Captain Polo in Brazil', the 5th in the series of educational graphic novels about climate change. This book is dedicated to Brazil: its wonders, challenges, and some pretty cool climate action innovations. Watch this space. Meanwhile, check out Climate Cultures, the platform hosting this blog post. Climate Cultures is a pretty unique platform grouping a growing number of global citizens with two things in common: we all care about climate change and we are all creatives in some way. The marriage of science and art, one of my pet subjects. Do check it out and share widely. That in itself counts hugely as a form of climate action. #climateactionnow #climateeducation Mark Goldthorpe UC-CSU Environmental and Climate Change Literacy Projects (ECCLPs) SubjectToClimate Project Drawdown Tito Craige Kelley L.

I am happy to say I will be attending UNFCCC SB 60 this June in Bonn, Germany! I am grateful to have been able to learn so much and also watch the Ocean & Climate Change dialogue develop over the last 2 years, and I hope to see in develop even more this year. This year the two topics are: 1. Marine biodiversity conservation and coastal resilience 2. Technology needs for the ocean - climate action, including finance links I hope that we can move in the right direction, have a meaningful dialogue, and ensure we move forward in a collaborative way highlighting underrepresented groups and integrating human rights. #plyMBIO #MarineBiology #UNFCCC #ClimateChange

Earlier this year, at Yayasan Madani, we embarked on promoting local climate adaptation efforts through the establishment of a "Localized Adaptation Hub." This innovative initiative, rooted in the concept of Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK), serves as a village-based biodiversity nexus. The recent paper by Pereira et al. (2022) elucidates the tangible benefits of this approach in fauna identification, signaling potential applications in flora identification. We are enthusiastic about leveraging these insights to further our mission of climate change adaptation.

The Big Butterfly Count is an annual national science project in the UK that starts today and will run until Sunday 4th August. The aim is to encourage people of all ages to observe and count butterflies and day-flying moths. Here’s why it’s important: Conservation Insights: By participating, you become a citizen scientist, contributing valuable data. The information collected helps experts understand how butterfly populations are faring and how environmental changes impact them. Climate Change Impact: Butterflies worldwide face threats due to climate change. Last year’s record temperatures affected the plants that caterpillars feed on. The Big Butterfly Count data can reveal how these beautiful insects have been affected. idverde’s Perspective: idverde recognises the significance of biodiversity. Supporting the Big Butterfly Count aligns with our commitment to preserving natural habitats and promoting environmental awareness. You can download your guide from the Butterfly Conservation website https://obi41.nl/sm3zr38t. Find a sunny spot, and join in!

Just published: The new edition of my newsletter for journalists (and anyone else) interested in biodiversity, the ecological crisis and nature-based solutions to climate change. It has news, resources, jobs, great stories, and more. https://lnkd.in/eqGKza2Y

As a manager of marine and coastal science and programs at Parks Victoria, Michael Sams merges cutting-edge ecological research with hands-on strategic action, tackling complex challenges like climate change, invasive species, and kelp forest loss. Michael is passionate about building a deeper connection between people and the reef’s extraordinary biodiversity. “The more people know about the reef and its importance, the more support there is for protecting it. Public awareness and engagement drive political momentum and help secure funding for long-term conservation efforts,” he explains. He credits collaborations, like the Great Southern Reef Research Partnership, with bringing people together and amplifying the collective impact of their work. “What we’re learning from other states feeds directly into our strategies here in Victoria, creating a united front against threats like climate change and invasive species.”

European Marine Board IVZW published the 6th edition of Navigating the Future. It highlights the vital role of the ocean & sets specific research goals to address challenges we face. VLIZ supports these objectives, focusing on marine biodiversity and climate research https://lnkd.in/eUBBSb93

Marine organisms are particularly sensitive to climate change. As our planet continues to warm, thousands of marine species are expected to be exposed to potentially unsafe temperatures across their ranges. Exposure to such unfavorable conditions can make habitats unsuitable for species persistence, affecting several ecological processes, and ultimately leading to ecological disruption and local extinctions. However, climate change is also creating new suitable habitats in regions that were previously unsuitable, offering opportunities for species to colonize new areas. But how do these two processes, exposure and opportunities, interact in space and time? Where and when will species be exposed to unsafe temperatures, and where will new habitat opportunities emerge as ocean temperatures shift? How long will these opportunities last? We answered these questions in our new paper: ?? ?? Temporal dynamics of climate change exposure and opportunities for global marine biodiversity https://lnkd.in/gpqmUmpv Christopher Trisos Alex Pigot Cory Merow
