By looking at how it is represented in works of fiction, we can try to understand how we relate to soil. And through soil, how we relate to the environment more broadly.

This year we sent delegates from @sheffielduni to @COP29_AZ so they can witness global climate policy being made.🌍 But with #COP29 set to end in disappointment, is it time to rethink the whole COP process? This is a fascinating thread by @nowthenmag 🧵
These are some of the delegates from @SheffieldUni who are attending the #COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan, which closes today. But how useful really is COP, and does it have any effect on people's lives here in South Yorkshire? A quick thread 🧵⬇️

Could #COP29 be the greatest failure in COP history? Our delegate, Kathryn, is sharing her insights from @COP29_AZ.
At #COP29 in Baku. Today the mood is despondent. People are calling it the greatest fail of any COP yet. No agreements on an amount to finance to developing countries, and China, UAE and Singapore still not classed at developed and to give money.

We're in the final days of #COP29Azerbaijan and negotiations have been slow. Will it have a positive impact on #SouthYorkshire, let alone the world? 🌍 This is a fantastic @nowthenmag article by @RTakver all about COP, featuring experiences from our @sheffielduni delegates.
