Our @IDRC_CRDI project examines what planned relocation means through the lived experiences captured by Photovoice. Do the positive outcomes outweigh the challenges of design and implementation? Find out more here 👇 @OStefancu @NeilAdger @rmmru
This #InternationalMigrantsDay, find out how #research on planned relocation can contribute to improve the lives of displaced people. https://t.co/R1HyvI1zZM

Led by the great @hasterly w many @HABITABLE_H2020 colleagues. Our thoughts on place and habitability, role of mobility in adapting to climate change, and need for pluralism avoiding deterministic notions of people and places at risk. @ricsdecampos @MFrancoGavonel @RedickerSarah

Empathetic methods, I'm so here for it! Check out new paper by @LucyLS9 @NeilAdger @ricsdecampos et al. on using PhotoVoice as a more relational entry point into urban planning in the context of #migration

Habitability of place, the capability to stay, the right to move, and dignity in choice. We grappled with these consequences of climate change in hugely engaged and interdisciplinary team in @HABITABLE_H2020. Thanks @hasterly and @PSakdapolrak and many colleagues for distilling
1/ 🚨 What drives #habitability changes in an era of climate crisis? Our new paper dives into the complex, dynamic, and socially differentiated concept of habitability. Here’s what you need to know 🧵 #ClimateChange #Habitability

Most read on #RTEBrainstorm: if devastating & destructive Spanish floods don't ignite climate action, what will? By @cmurphy2904 @Maynoothgeog @ICARUS_Maynooth @MaynoothUni

It is abundantly clear how human driven climate change has contributed to the deadly flooding we've seen of late in Spain and elsewhere

❗Interpretations are what determine responses much more than raw facts. How do narratives shape the way we perceive & respond to migration? ➡️ @blancagarcesmas explains the elements that make narratives impactful Read the 1st #MigrationCoLab 'short' 🔗 https://t.co/WNC1eVmfpN

I’m delighted to be feature in the new podcast series ‘Voices on the Move’. Together with @Gemenne and colleagues from @HABITABLE_H2020 we help unpack the climate-mobility nexus. @GSI_Exeter @ExeterGeography
OUT NOW!! We are thrilled to announce that our podcast series, “Voices on the Move,” is officially available for streaming! The podcast explores climate induced migration, highlighting the stories of people on the ground already impacted and researchers. https://t.co/a2xeY09Ua0

The idea was to turn what had been farmland into salt marsh, an ancient ecosystem that soaks up water as the tide comes in and releases it as the sea retreats. Since 1860, Britain has lost 85 percent of its salt marsh.

Finally out📢 Happy to share our new study in @NatureClimate on the impacts of drought & aridity on internal migration worldwide 🌍 We show that #climate can be an important #migration driver but not for everyone & everywhere https://t.co/OiphzvEKQr Here's what we find 🧵 1/

Totally agree with your assessment @JoeriRogelj - especially on the low likelihood of effective adaptation. Not least the irreversibility of impacts, and the costs to society well beyond infrastructure and property. And we know there is already a massive adaptation deficit
If we cant keep warming to 1.5C, we can simply 'overshoot'. 🌍🔥🌡️🏹 The idea goes as follows: we temporarily exceed 1.5C before returning below it at a later stage. In a new paper @Nature we show how overconfidence in our discussions hides the deep risks of such strategy. /1

New @npjOceanSustain paper finds tension in responsibility debates among 243 scientists working on ocean-climate innovations. Debates oscillated between protecting scientific autonomy at one extreme, & moral duty for socially just futures at the other https://t.co/se0Oj0hhTb 1/3
