Action is needed on Climate

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

CLIMAS workshop explores Citizen Science for climate policy. 🌤 The CLIMAS workshop at the ECSA - European Citizen Science Association Conference explored ways to generate incorporate citizen science into citizen climate assemblies. Key takeaways 🗝: - Citizen Science integrates citizens' knowledge with expert knowledge for innovative solutions. - CCAs are a form of deliberative democracy for climate action. - Citizen Science can be used in CCAs to empower citizens to shape climate policy. - Citizen science projects to be integrated in the toolkit for citizen climate assemblies (the open call for projects is open until April 30th).

Leading U.S. scientists, including Dr. William Anderegg, Director of the Wilkes Center for Climate Science & Policy at the University of Utah, and policy experts with a broad range of expertise in the fields of climate and ecosystem sciences have outlined key recommendations aimed at bolstering the scientific foundation for implementation of Nature-based Climate Solutions (NbCS) across the nation. These solutions, which include strategies like protecting carbon-dense forests and wetlands, improving land management, and restoring natural ecosystems, are crucial for enhancing carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The stakes are very high - getting NbCS right could mean the difference between achieving long-term global greenhouse gas reduction goals or missing those targets and further destabilizing the climate system. Although NbCS strategies have potential, on the ground implementation of NbCS has been controversial, often outpacing the scientific understanding of their long-term benefits. The group calls for a more robust, evidence-based approach for NbCS so they can be deployed when and where they are most likely to succeed as climate solutions.

Really interesting figure from Buma, B., Gordon, D.R., Kleisner, K.M. et al. Expert review of the science underlying nature-based climate solutions. Nat. Clim. Chang. (2024). This expert review looks at which nature-based climate solutions have strong scientific basis and can deliver meaningful climate benefits. The top right-hand corner are the best pathways. I wish I had this figure in my previous job when I was dealing with colleagues who did not appreciate Jurisdictional REDD+ and were pushing all sorts of other pathways... https://lnkd.in/esqajtV9
