#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. "

Here is #27 of our 33-week serial presentation of #ClimateSolutionsMythDebunkings. These were researched and authored at Columbia University School of Law's Sabin Center For Climate Change Law. In collaboration with Sabin, we adapted the original report into individually accessible corrections, handy for sharing etc.

Very few people experience depressed property values due to wind turbines. As the authors allude, there are plenty of other collocations capable of depressing property values. This juxtaposition is spotlighted in our attention for reasons quite apart from the good of homeowners.

In a landmark study, an NYBG scientist and colleagues find that #reforestation stands out among plant-based #climateMitigation strategies as most beneficial for #wildlife #biodiversity
Impact on biodiversity needs to be considered when choosing a large-scale strategy to combat climate change, scientists assert in new paper in '#Science'

#ClimateCatastrophe

Prepare #ClimateMitigation measures, with a focus on water retention, and temperature management.
Consider carbon capture options, in particular reforesting.
Begin research on geoengineering

Whether we call it #EnergyModernization or #EnergyTransition or #RenewableEnergy, with #ClimateChange becoming undeniable the fossilized parts of our energy industry are adapting tactics to keep us locked in the past-- and ruin our chances for #ClimateMitigation.

We collaborated with the #SabinCenterForClimate ChangeLaw to adapt their comprehensive #debunking of #RenewableEnergyMyths for easier access. We're highlighting each of 33 articles, one per week.

4th Indo-German 1.5 Track Strategic Dialogue:
SWP and GIGA thank our esteemed partners from ICWA and RIS for joining us in Berlin. Intense exchange on #IndoPacific, #GlobalCooperation, #trade, #tech, #innovation, #ClimateMitigation. Amb. Ajit Gupte and Amb. Erik Kurzweil set the scene on Indo-German relations. Thank you also to @AuswaertigesAmt for supporting.

#ClimateMitigation

"before you start complaining about the minerals needed for renewables, please, leave your steak, because that has ten or a hundred times more of a (negative) impact on #biodiversity"

FYI, many folk will NOT "leave their steak" to "save the planet" (it's not where they're at)

But, decision makers can produce plant based or lab grown "steak" (it's the taste they want)

#ClimateChange

“We should be focused on real reductions in emissions, rather than engaging in a counting game”

Goodhart's law applies, the measure (or measuring) has become the target not reducing emissions.

This is a good resource: looking for good high quality sources of high level #climate training?

WCRP have an online academy with a course catalogue of programmes in #ClimateChange #ClimateMitigation + #ClimateAdaptation - all vetted and aimed at university level.

The Climate Council report “Too Close to Home”. It’s worth a look it mostly focuses on risk identification and what the next steps should be.

@SiR_GameZaloT
I have been told by senior Indian businessmen/civil servants (1 of each, not a crowd!) that India sees talk about #ClimateMitigation as a ploy by "the West" to block India's achievements in growing the economy.
I am hoping that these record temperatures may be sufficient to add greater weight to the work of India's numerous #ClimateActivists and thus persuade people that India too is at risk.

#Lambeth on a #felling spree in #BrockwellPark, as i spotted around 20 marked trees in a single run. This reminds me to chase my FOI about #treeplanting monitoring & survival rate (UK average is 30% die in the first 12 months). It seems there’s zero #maturetrees policy in a city (#London) where most trees were planted in the 19th century. Anyone has a #climatemitigation #urbantrees policy/blueprint to share to encourage local authorities to do better?

Up to 4 billion people may become climate refugees by 2070. Can we adapt?

New study on #degrowth and other #ClimateMitigation scenarios.
Need to check the detail but it
Looks broadly positive for degrowth: reduces the need for impossible levels of "renewables".
But beware #CarbonTunnelVision.
