How do societies choose how to respond to climate change? Through science - but also driven by complex dynamics of power, money and attention. In this #OpenAccess perspective in #npj Climate Action, we develop one systematic way of disentangling & measuring these dynamics. doi.org/10.1038/s441...

Reconciling urgency and restraint in the coral climate crisis: A philosophy of practice

Reconciling urgency and restraint in the coral climate crisis: A philosophy of practice

Coral reef conservation is facing increasing pressure to act boldly in the face of climate-altered futures. This perspective offers five guiding principles—termed Minimum-In Minimum-Out (MIMO)—that support deliberate, ethical, and system-oriented responses. MIMO reconsiders what constitutes viable climate action and offers a responsible path between resigned inaction and technological optimism.

How researcher visa curbs threaten science careers

Anti-immigration sentiment is fuelling a drive to slash international student and worker numbers, but at what cost to researchers and countries leading the charge?

Global heating is rapidly altering marine ecosystems. Novel interventions are gaining traction to sustain oceans and ocean-dependent societies, but they come with risks. 💥 Our new paper in @science.org explores how to "go slow to go fast" on ocean-based climate action. Read more: bit.ly/45IrRMd

Climate interventions to save our oceans need stronger governance, experts warn

Climate interventions are accelerating in our oceans—but without responsible governance, they could do more harm than good, according to new research.

Nominations are now being accepted for the 2025 John Maddox Prize. The award recognises the work of any individual who promotes science and evidence on a matter of public interest in the face of hostility. Apply now, time is running out! go.nature.com/4194lp6 #academicsky

According to this naive article, only 2 players are involved in geoengineering decisions - well-meaning scientists & local people. But what about the roles of: Politicians, Judiciary, NGOs, Media, Non-local societies, Entrepreneurs, self-appointed Billionaires, etc? www.science.org/content/arti...

Geoengineering could fight climate change—if the public can be convinced

Researchers’ failures to communicate are jeopardizing even basic tests, but new projects may point the way forward
