“Current policies put the world on track for 2.9C of warming by 2100, the report finds – though this could be reduced to 2.4-2.6C, if all existing NDCs are met.”
New UNEP emissions gap report highlights a "massive gap between rhetoric and reality" and calls for a "quantum leap" in ambition to deliver Paris goals, as the world is way off-track today. I cover the details over at @CarbonBrief: carbonbrief.org/unep-new-clima…

FYI all
NYC Emergency Management is monitoring a potential severe geomagnetic storm that may impact New York City on October 10-11. Our federal partners from the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) have issued a Geomagentic Storm Watch. NYC Emergency Management advises New Yorkers…
A great discussion, thanks @AECOM for hosting and organizing!
Huge thanks to AECOM for having Timon McPhearson at Future Proofing New York during #ClimateWeekNYC! 🌍 Joining a panel with Grace Rauh, Victoria Cerullo, Anna Dyson, and Kate Johnson, they discussed climate resilience from Nature-based Solutions to floodgates.🙌 #UrbanResilience
😍Fantastic work of @maria_gopegi exploring how justice can be evaluated in climate adaptation interventions in the urban public space 👏
🧵1/ 📢 Happy to share my first PhD paper (w/ amazing co-authors @MartaOlazabal & @VaneBailo)! We reviewed 📚 the lit. on climate justice assessment parameters in public space adaptation. Check it in JCCPE 2.3 @utpjournals: t.ly/SQ-Mz #ClimateJustice #UrbanStudies 🌍
The devastation in North Carolina is climate change in action. Scientists estimate that climate change increased Hurricane Helene's rainfall by up to 50% in NC, and made the event up to 20x more likely. We cannot afford to elect a climate denier this fall to the White House.
Our group came together to set the tone for an exciting autumn ahead. Discussing our plans for the next three months, we set intensions and identified opportunities for support and collaboration. An exchange of great energies and diverse perspective around the table. Stay tuned!
