Upcoming event alert!! ?? In collaboration with The Roux Institute at Northeastern University, we are so excited to present this engaging panel discussion on The Socio-Ecological Dimensions of Climate Change in Maine. ???? Join us as we explore the disproportionate impacts of climate change across Maine, the intersection of social systems and the natural environment, and the importance of merging these socio-ecological considerations with technological innovation to achieve durable and just outcomes for communities. Our very own Connor Horton, TNC Maine’s Business Engagement Manager, will be moderating the discussion! In his own words: “The urgency of addressing the dual climate and biodiversity crises is underscored by the threat-multiplying nature of each. These issues take big problems and make them much worse for more people around the planet. It’s going to take a complex ‘all hands on deck’ approach to create equitable solutions, and Maine's entrepreneurial ecosystem is playing a major part in that effort. Avoiding and reducing damage to nature, rapidly cutting emissions and joining in partnership to help others do the same are just a few ways that founders, communities, and industry leaders are acting.” Don’t miss out on hearing from Connor and other industry experts!

Really looking forward to this panel discussion. Hope to see you there! ?? #ClimateJustice #TechInnovation #ClimateAction

At the heart of climate change sits behavioural beliefs and action. In my latest Substack I explore the study by Nicholas Swallow and Ralf Barkemeyer, which delves into the motivations and understanding of dairy farmers and climate change in Aotearoa New Zealand. A fascinating piece of research in a gap that needed filling. https://lnkd.in/gUEdikCY Citation: “Examining farmers’ motivations to engage in low-carbon agricultural practices: A study of New Zealand dairy farmers”, Journal of Rural Studies, Volume 111, 2024.

One of the biggest indicators of the future of #ClimateChange can be pointed to the Salton Sea. For the past four years, Dr. Ryan Sinclair, associate professor at the LLU School of Public Health, has dedicated his research to the science and public health of the Salton Sea.

How can we translate scientific climate projections into actionable policies and adaptive measures? Prof Mat Collins from University of Exeter discusses his Frontiers in Science lead article outlining expected changes this century to precipitation, storms, heatwaves, and extreme events from the equator to the poles—and the impact on infrastructure, public health, and food security.? Hear from Mat and an expert panel at our #FrontiersForum Deep Dive on 7 November.? Register now ?? fro.ntiers.in/MZUV

My pleasure to discuss how climate adaptation, water and security interact with US policy makers and scientist.

Around the world, #BlueFoods are often left out of climate discussions. With updated nationally determined contributions due in 2025, governments have an opportunity to include these foods in their climate strategies. ?? Read more at ??? stanford.io/4eJYBHx ??

Our fellows have been supporting us through the summer delivering a great range of thought invoking sessions. ?? As we head into Autumn, we are pleased to be continuing with our workshops. The next one will be on Thursday 19th Sept and will be delivered by Robin Attfield. Renowned philosopher Robin Attfield explains the moral reasons for urgent action based on current harms, threats to future generations, and to the species with which we share the planet. In compelling and student-friendly prose, he explores the science of climate change, biodiversity loss and air pollution, reasons for action, climate injustices, political implications of the crisis, and possible responses. Among other things, he argues that measures to introduce climate justice should be paid for by countries able to pay, and by the big polluters in particular. The recently agreed Loss and Damage fund can play a central part in climate funding. Related political measures, such as the introduction of Ecocide as an international crime alongside war crimes, also give cause for hope. Join the learning and the discussions.

Yesterday, we kicked off the What Works Climate Solutions Summit with some brilliant keynotes and panels, mostly focusing on climate solutions and health. "The impacts of climate change on our health is what makes it a relevant crisis for humans right now." - Marina Romanello, Executive Director at the The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change "There is an impulse of indigenous knowledge about how to adapt to climate change and live within the planetary boundaries and how this knowledge can be integrated. These are important lessons for us in the scientific community to learn." - Andy Haines, Prof. Environmental Change & Public Health at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U. of London #ClimatePolicy #PolicyAnalysis #WWCS2024

“There is an endless list of the devastation of climate change on food systems, and much of it we don't hear about.” Réiseal Ní Chéilleachair from Concern Worldwide at our Pre-Budget Submission launch discussing the important issue of food systems with a changing climate. In our Pre-Budget Submission we say “a systemic understanding of why our global food architecture is so widely called ‘dysfunctional’, and why the system is so vulnerable to global price shocks and shortages, must also be urgently addressed in Budget 2025’s economic policy-making.” To download our submission click here - https://lnkd.in/ecSMem3d
