3/ While decarbonization, adaptation & carbon removal remain critical, we need a fourth pillar of climate action: PREVENTION = advancing the science and policy options to stop irreversible climate system cascades before they begin.

2/ Climate overshoot isn't just hotter summers. It unlocks: ❗️ Runaway methane release from permafrost ❗️ Ocean current collapse ❗️ Permanent Amazon dieback ❗️ Ice sheet collapse and catastrophic sea level rise We can't assume climate change will follow a linear path.

1/ New blog: Our reflections from #NYClimateWeek 2025 This year made one thing clear: the 1.5°C pathway has likely closed. We're heading toward 2.5°C or higher, creating non-linear risks for climate overshoot that funders + governments need to consider carefully. 👇

Great to see Aaron, our resident astrophysicist @renphil21, get plaudits (and additional support) for the big-if-true program on low-cost telescopes that he is building with us.
Q: What do standardized, low-cost space telescopes, ultra-high-performance bio-inspired materials, and fusion energy that costs under 1¢/kWh all have in common? A: They’re all being pursued by our new residents at Astera!
