On my way to Sao Paulo now, to give this talk on the #biodiversity - #climate #nexus, in particular in relation to the #ocean. 25 April 2025!!

Hmm ... depressing to be reminded of this article - now 7 years ago ... 2018. The little progress that has happened since then in reducing #CO2 emissions and #climatechange has been rapidly undone by recent regression in global policies #aluttacontinua theguardian.com/environment/20…

Another letter of alarm against the destructive desmantling of science in the US by the Trump administration. Now signed by over 3000 scientists to save NOAA. NOAA provides invaluable data on Earth observations and science on the liveability on our planet. ucs.org/about/news/ove…

More science like this, asking the right questions, is needed. Eliminate #overconsumption and we can address the many other challenges we face.

A very pertinent critique on #blueeconomy as #businessasusual. As has been charged for #sustainabledevelopment and the #SDGs. In the #policy & #science communities we must address this head on and ensure we are not culpable in delivering a #figleaf. news-mongabay-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/news.monga…

New report shows that the entire Gaza Strip is at risk of famine. Shamefully, food sits at the border, banned from entering the Strip. There is no justification for this act of inhumane cruelty. Humanitarian aid must flow into Gaza—now.
