New paper contributing among giants to understating and reviewing how deep uncertainty can better be used for the IPCC AR7!! All analysts and modellers could learn a lot from this, and lots going on in this domain for the foreseeable future!

This year will see the #IPCC make significant progress in its seventh cycle on a number of key areas and geographies, including Short Lived Climate Pollutants and #cities. #SLCPs #climatechange

Excited to be attending the GHGT Conference this week, organized by IEAGHG 🌍 I’m thrilled to be presenting on two important topics: 1️⃣ Carbon Accounting Ecosystems across the Value Chain — part of a project with the Hitachi-Imperial Decarbonisation Center. I’ll be discussing how we can build more comprehensive and transparent carbon accounting systems that drive meaningful change. For more information on the center: https://lnkd.in/gJ4PHu7H 2️⃣ Socio-Economic Impact Modelling of Decarbonising UK Industrial Clusters — this work, done through the Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC) focuses on the economic and social impacts of transitioning the UK’s industrial clusters to low-carbon solutions. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect and discuss these topics further!

Attending #EGU24? Don’t miss session AS3.24 on the latest in methane science. 🔬 🌍 The world needs a systematic, international effort to fill knowledge gaps and target efforts to #CutMethane. 👩🔬 That’s exactly what the UN Environment Programme's Methane Science Studies are doing. This session will highlight measurement studies at all scales (from chambers to satellites) that focus on quantification of methane emissions from human activities. Particular emphasis is on studies that aim to: (1) demonstrate accurate and repeatable methodologies for measurement of emissions (2) allow attribution of emissions to specific sources and (3) inform stakeholders on mitigation and policy pathways.

🗣️ Join me for an information session about the IPCC 7th Assessment Cycle Scoping Meeting! ⭐️ I'll cover the IPCC, including how its reports are made and what our authors do. More information about the nomination for authors will be provided. 📍 On that note, deadline for author nominations is June 7, 2024!!

Please consider submitting an abstract to our planned AGU session on “Multisector Dynamics: Energy-Water-Land Interactions at Multiple Scales under a Changing Climate"! Submission deadline is July 31, 2024. Invited speakers: Amanda Palazzo and Mariana M. de Brito. Co-conveners: Zarrar Khan, Adriano Vinca, and Makoto Taniguchi. Session Link: https://lnkd.in/emhDWHSM   Session Abstract: The world's energy, water, and land (EWL) systems are in transition and are rapidly integrating, driven by forces such as socioeconomic, climatic, and technological changes, as well as human responses such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These dynamics weave across spatial scales, connecting global markets to national, sub-national, and urban economies. At the same time, resources are often locally managed under varying administrative jurisdictions tied to the characteristics of each commodity, such as river-basins for water, grid-regions for electricity, and land-use boundaries for agriculture. Local decisions in turn are critical to the success of national-to-global policies. Thus, there is a need to better characterize EWL interactions to guide robust, consistent, trans-scale decision-making. This session invites multidisciplinary abstracts exploring EWL dynamics, hotspots, trade, policies, infrastructure planning and uncertainty characterization across variable boundaries. Studies exploring the impacts of these dynamics on security, health, and conflict are also welcome.

We were grateful for the opportunity to have our Chief Scientist David Koweek, PhD provide testimony earlier today at a Senate of Canada | Sénat du Canada hearing on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) and its use in Canada. With innovative mCDR research projects in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and Quebec, among others, Canada is emerging as a leader in the sector’s advancement. Its proposed ocean carbon sequestration study is a crucial step in identifying additional opportunities that can help inform whether and how marine carbon dioxide removal can be a climate solution. The level of urgency is greater than ever.  The recent UN Environment Programme's Emissions Gap Report highlights record greenhouse gas emissions in 2023, placing us on a trajectory towards 2.5-3.0°C warming by century's end—far from the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C. With oceans absorbing more than 90% of excess heat and about a quarter of CO₂ emissions, climate disruption is the top threat to ocean health. We believe that constructive collaboration is essential for advancing safe, responsible mCDR research. The report could be a valuable resource in bridging international climate policy and marine protection governance and helping to generate full participation across academic, non-governmental, and private sectors.
