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. bit.ly/49GFHQA
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

❗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

5/ Next, @lauriefdparsons argues that climate geography as a field offers the opportunity for substantial innovation:

2/ Next is ‘Geography and climate vulnerabilities’ by @DianaLiv:
This paper argues that geographers have played a fundamental role in the assessments conducted by Working Group 2 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Today's Lancet climate and health report presents 56 indicators of health and climate change across FIVE domains. (Download the report for free from the Lancet website). Here is a thread of some of the key findings. #Lancetclimate24 (1)

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.

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.
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 rdcu.be/dVqLU 1/3

Our recent research at Exeter @GSI_Exeter @WorldBank
By far the largest value at risk is to human capital, i.e. future expected wages, people's livelihoods and careers in sectors tied to fossil fuels. It's already happening, there is no going back.
