Here at the UN Climate Change #BonnClimateConference this week observing the negotiations we need to accelerate climate action with low-cost public climate finance and urgent action to net zero emissions to stay within the goal of 1.5⁰C this century. With the Future Earth delegation and Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS). #JuneClimateMeetings.
The concept of "tipping points" in climate science is a term frequently used to describe nonlinear system responses but often with vague or inconsistent definitions. In this webinar we’ll explore whether a unified, precise definition is necessary and what it should look like. NEXT WEEK: Join experts Vasilis Dakos (Université de Montpellier), Sebastian Bathiany (Technical University of Munich), Robert Kopp (Rutgers University) and Elisabeth Krueger (Universiteit van Amsterdam) for a webinar focused on Climate Tipping Points and Definitions. We will delve into these critical questions and seek to clarify the role of #TippingPoints in #climate science and also public communication and understanding. 11 October, 14:00-15:30 CEST Register: https://bit.ly/3zmHLzt Earth Commission World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) Global Systems Institute, University of Exeter

A new science-policy initiative with Future Earth, Stockholm Resilience Centre and Global Resilience Partnership will bring together sustainability researchers to develop strategies to build #resilience and help safeguard our planet. Wendy Broadgate, Director of the Future Earth Swedish Hub and Future Earth Interim Coordinating Director, announced the “Key Must-Knows in Resilience Science” report this week at #ClimateWeekNYC alongside the partners. The report will inform UN agencies, governments, civil society, and businesses. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3ZCQ2Kz
NEXT WEEK: Experts will dive into how decades of research is accelerating #transformations to global #sustainability through innovative #research and #policy integration. Join us for an interactive webinar co-hosted with Cambridge University Press that will cover the pressing scientific questions emerging from Future Earth's Global Research Networks and other organizations addressing global environmental challenges. 📆 Tuesday, 1 October ⏰12:00 GMT / 13:00 BST/ 21:00 JST Register here: https://bit.ly/3Xj3yAg #GlobalSustainability
This important #sciencepolicy report includes some of the latest science on climate change. It includes input from the Global Carbon Project, a Future Earth Global Research Network. It also highlights the role of #transdisciplinary work in pathways to a sustainable future. 👇
New multi-agency #UnitedinScience report coordinated by WMO is released today: The science is clear. We are far off track from achieving vital climate goals and the gap between aspirations and reality is widening. The impacts of climate change and hazardous weather are reversing development gains and threatening the well-being of people and the planet. But there is hope. New technologies and innovation are potential game-changers and we are better than ever at combining natural and social sciences, traditional knowledge to support #ClimateAction and the #GlobalGoals. The forthcoming UN Summit of the Future offers a choice between breakthrough or breakdown. https://lnkd.in/dBUGGBPs
