Join us at the Talk Tent in Trinity College Dublin's Front Square next Friday from 11:30 -18:00 for a day of talks, panels, demos, art workshops and even a game show! The event will explore everything from tracking climate impacts and artistic responses, to real-world community (1/2)


Scientists from School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, led by Prof. Jennifer McElwain, have enlisted “Witness Trees” to track #ClimateChange and pinpoint which species can best clean our air. Read more about this fascinating #TrinityResearch at: tcd.ie/news_events/ar…



Delighted to welcome the UK Foreign Secretary Rt Hon David Lammy MP to the Co-Centre for Climate + Biodiversity + Water. We discussed our policy relevant research & the power of working across borders to achieve climate & nature commitments. Wonderful to have the advice & support of Prof Mary Robinson.


🎙️ The Quirks & Quarks podcast recently featured a paper, co-authored by CEM researchers incl @mccannlab, that explores how our global food systems are becoming less diverse and more susceptible to #climatechange 🌎 Find out what we can do about it by listening to the episode here:
