The alarming water decline in the #CaspianSea becomes a key issue at #COP29 in Baku.  In my article for Context, I spoke to experts about Iran’s new environment head and the country’s participation in this year’s UN climate talks 👇🏼🌎 context.news/climate-risks/…

Waiting for new texts at #COP29 and asking myself 'why is this so hard?' For a lot of reasons, but boiled down to one word: incentives. This finance COP and its #NCQG on climate finance could still change the game, by changing the stakes for parties. COP, heal thyself.

How does #COP29 fit into the wider picture of climate action? COPs 28-30 are meant to 'reset' global climate action after a poor report on Paris progress in the 'global stocktake'. If one link in the chain is weak or fails, this reset is at risk. From: chathamhouse.org/2024/10/azerba…

Such a pleasure to speak with delegates at the BISA - British International Studies Association #climatesim 2025 this morning. Loving the energy & ingenuity in finding solutions, and shout out to Russia's delegation lead - your method acting is 👨‍🍳👌. Had to miss lunch but hope you stayed in character for sandwiches.
