🧵 New paper out 📄 “Securing Structural Economic Transformation in a Climate-Changed World” We explore how climate change is reshaping development pathways — not just through physical impacts, but also through the global response: trade rules, finance, and geopolitics.
Delighted to announce that we are recruiting multiple Postdoctoral Research Fellows to lead cutting-edge work at the intersection of climate change adaptation, AI, and global evidence synthesis. @ascend-uct.bsky.social @acdi.bsky.social

I'm so thrilled to share our newest work on African climate attitudes, identifying who people believe is most responsible for addressing climate change (and what makes people more likely to place responsibility on historic emitters).

Republican proposals are underway to use the Congressional Review Act to revoke regulations currently protecting underwater archaeology. This is not good for our connections to history or our environments. #ClimateHeritage www.science.org/content/arti...
Congress could soon erase Biden rules on archaeology, climate, and the environment
Seldom used law could enable Republicans to repeal numerous regulations

In our new paper out today, we highlight that #losses and #damages from #climate_change cannot be entirely prevented, that decisions about what to keep and what to let go are fundamental to maintaining values for future generations; even when what is valued is gone.
Southern California now sees longer fire weather seasons, like many other places worldwide Human-caused climate change means hot, dry, windy conditions happen more often, priming landscapes to burn more easily if ignition occurs Matt Jones et al 2022 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Hurricanes, fires and other disasters caused $320bn in losses in 2024, or about a third more than the year before, highlighting the toll taken by climate change and property development in areas hit by extreme weather, the world’s largest reinsurance group said. www.ft.com/content/76d1...
