IPCC Scholarships are here! The IPCC Scholarship Programme provides scholarships for PhD students from developing countries for climate change research. IPCC Deadline: 2 April 2023. Details: ipcc.ch/about/scholars…

In 3 weeks I head to #Antarctica - a dream come true - on a boat with 100 women in science grappling with leadership for sustainability Join us Weds 10am to hear about the African contingent that will travel African Climate & Development Initiative UCT MARIS UCT Homeward Bound [email protected]

I am deeply saddened to hear the passing of a great climate scientist! My deepest sympathies to Saleem's family and colleagues...

With the passing of Dr. Huq the World Adaptation Science Programme (WASP) and the World have lost a friend and visionary leader who was not only the torch bearer for Bangladesh's fight against Climate Change, but for the entire global community – a leading voice in CC adaptation and SD has left us.

(1) I hope this decision will result in rapid delivery and easy access to communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis – floods and droughts. For me, it fails to establish a clear scale of contributions from developed countries.

(2) It also has no binding measures for countries to contribute. These may come at the implementation stage. If other conventional finance mechanisms to support adaptation in developing countries are far less than expected, how will this special one be a game changer? 🤨

Such a delight to work with distinguished colleagues on this blog post for PLOS Climate . IDRC | CRDI ExeterGeography Global Systems Institute The HABITABLE Project

What not to miss on #lossanddamage, #Adaptation, #ClimateJustice ? Our workshop! Hybrid or in person on 22&23 Feb in Berlin. Featuring stars like @adelle_SIDS, 🌎 ✊@lisaschipper.bsky.social, Richard Klein SEI Climate and Mizan Khan ICCCAD. Register until 15 Feb here: adjust-climate.org/en/workshop-lo…

To sustain the momentum from the #COP28 decision to operationalise the Loss and Damage fund, we need further research on the costs of loss and damage as well as links to adaptation and climate-resilient development, @adelle_SIDS writes in Science Magazine. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Great pleasure attending my first ICAT Advisory Committee meeting in Bonn, which provided an opportunity for knowledge and experience sharing on climate action transparency.

My "awesome" face after a great meeting with 🌎 ✊@lisaschipper.bsky.social. Thanks 🌎 ✊@lisaschipper.bsky.social for your time and for giving me the chance to interact with your PhD students.

Happy to share our newly published paper in Global Food Security. It explores the role of social institutions in shaping vegetable consumption practices in Africa by analyzing 62 academic papers covering fifteen African countries. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

(1) This review shows that multiple institutions interact in promoting or constraining vegetable consumption practices.

(2)We found that education has positive effects on vegetable consumption, but mixed results are found on the role of economic status. Social norms are mentioned as shaping consumption more often for traditional vegetables than exotic ones.

(3) Findings suggest that vegetable consumption practices are not culturally neutral, and socio-institutional perspective - centered on understanding systemic influences, cultural norms, social identity ... - must be integrated into programs aimed at promoting healthy diets.

Although #indigenousknowledge offers many benefits for #climateadaptation in #Africa, its implementation faces various challenges. See more in our freshly published paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.jenv…
