I'm involved in an international project around #Climate, #ClimateAdaptation, #ClimateMitigation, and #sustainability and I am shocked to see the ease with which the other international partners (from around the globe) just assume "we will all be visiting each other".

Also I feel a bit of #FOMO, so there is that.

Climate's steep demands
may be inconvenient
so is Extinction

whose peace won't come peacefully
billions of violent ends

"Our high-resolution policy database features 356 demand-side measures, systematically classified according to policy target, instrument type, and the avoid-shift-improve framework. We find that existing policy mixes heavily rely on shift and improve measures, critically neglecting mitigation potentials of avoid options as well as certain policy areas. This suggests an urgent need to broaden demand-side policy mixes and explore strategies that increase the political feasibility of avoid options."

"Many cities never even got onboard on #ClimateMitigation & just jumped right to #Adaptation. Somehow they believe the science of #ClimateChange enough to know they must adapt to protect themselves but not enough to actually begin mitigating the consequences. It's just ridiculously irresponsible."

"To address #ClimateChange we have to address where most people live, which is our cities & our car-dependant suburbs. We need to make them much better if we are to stand a chance of making real, fast, bold, aggressive moves towards not just #ClimateAdaptation but critically, #Climatemitigation."

#ClimateResearch, #ClimateMitigation and #ClimateAdaption are experiencing hurricane conditions in some parts of the world today (hello USA) but... play the long game. Here's a review and perspective with a touch of #LongNow thinking:

"All possible—but currently unknown—worlds in 2050, with a larger global population, unprecedented climate conditions with higher temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, sea level rise, disrupted ecosystems, changes in habitability and increased climate-induced displacement and migration, and the emergence of new geopolitical tensions, will require limiting society’s vulnerability both through mitigation measures to minimize further warming and through the implementation of innovative adaptation initiatives. The development of a skillful climate information system, based on the most advanced Earth system science, will be required to inform decision-makers and the public around the world about the local and remote impacts of climate change, and guide them in optimizing their adaptation and mitigation agendas. This information will also help manage renewable resources in a warmer world and strengthen resilience to the expected interconnected impacts of climate change. "
