The Sahel has become a net carbon sink since the 1980s because of bringing back traditional agroforestry practices. But policies don't recognise the value of these as #naturebasedsolutions. A powerful talk from Chekh Mbow @WWCS_summit.

Our @AlanDangour about health as a driver of climate policy change @WWCS_summit alongside @JimSkeaIPCC. Policy relevant evidence for IPCC needs to bring in indigenous knowledge too and ask 'what works and for whom' in an age of populism.

Richard Horton paints a bleak picture of a health system in crisis, driven by an erosion in our common humanity and "ability to see the distress of our neighbours". Human goodness can never be erased, but we need all our efforts now to put it first.
"The system is failing because our humanity—our compassion towards each other—has been eroded and, in some instances, erased.". Richard Horton's latest Offline: The system is not working

New report from @WMO shows our climate is changing at a growing rate. “Sirens are blaring across all major indicators. Some records aren’t just chart-topping, they’re chart-busting. And changes are speeding-up.” @antonioguterres

Even our current ways of measuring extreme weather events aren't prepared for the impact of the #climatecrisis, as shown by @BerkeleyLab this week with increasingly intense hurricanes. We need to expand action as well as wind scales to protect #HealthForAll.

Working in climate crisis with 2 young kids, existential dread is part of my job. @MahaliaBelo paints a superb and tragic picture of our dystopian future and the beauty & chaos of nurturing new life as it unfolds. Thank you 🙏🏼.

Possibly the most important report for anyone to read ahead of #COP28 here from @LancetCountdown, with the evidence on climate & health impacts more compelling than ever. Health-focused climate action could save millions of lives/yr, but we need to act now.
114. 114 epic, world-leading researchers contributed to this year's @LancetCountdown report, driven by the firm belief, that through a health lens, we can tackle climate change, and deliver a thriving future for all. And you can now read it, below: .

Place names might seem boring but are such important holders of cultural, spiritual + environmental knowledge, and have been target of colonial domination around the world. So proud of my dad for all his dedicated work documenting them on Tiree. ❤️.
@Uigeach1 An Tirisdeach, Tiree's community newspaper, has an excellent series at the moment by Dr John Holliday on the GĂ idhlig place-names of Tiree's many beaches which are at risk of being lost to their anglicised (often totally incorrect) replacement. An appeal to use the GĂ idhlig names

New paper exploring the role of participatory processes in environmental governance. No surprise: power delegation is shown to be the most stable predictor of strong environmental outputs. Citizens & communities understand what matters, it's time to listen.
Do more participatory decision-making processes lead to better environmental outcomes? . This paper finds three factors that significantly influence environmental governance outcomes. Power delegation to participants is the most consistent predictor -

This is huge. @LankellyChase taking the bold act of leadership to redistribute its assets among the communities it serves, demonstrating that alternatives to traditional philanthropy are both possible and necessary.
Lankelly Chase is embarking on a transformative journey to wholly redistribute its assets over the next five years and dismantle itself as an organisation. #LCTransitionPathway

Water is life. 💦 Every @wef risk report since 2012 has included water crisis as one of the top-five risks to the global economy. Important thread 👇🏻 about how water is and will increasingly become a justice issue & central part of #ClimateJustice dialogue.
As a water-climate scholar, the complex connections between water, ecology, climatic systems & human society have been central to my work for decades. Water governance & water justice are linked to climate adaptive capacities & justice. It’s not linear.
