UT Climate Centre’s Post

Read the new Policy Brief that addresses the need for governance of risks related to climate system tipping points: https://lnkd.in/eYebvDFz Join the event on 31 May to learn more about the policy brief! 👇

What are climate tipping points, and what does the latest research tell us about the current state of climate change? Join us for a discussion event: "Climate tipping points: Current state of science and international actions" on May 31st, 13-14:30, at Tiedekulma, Helsinki! Climate tipping points refer to critical thresholds where climate and environmental stresses could lead to abrupt and irreversible changes. At this event, we will delve into the latest research on the current state of climate change including its impact on the North Atlantic Ocean currents. We will present and discuss the climate scenarios specifically awaiting Finland should we fail to meet the climate goals outlined in the Paris Agreement and climate laws, and if the Atlantic thermohaline circulation weakens or stops. We will also discuss what we currently know about climate tipping points and the probabilities associated with their surpassing. The science overview will be followed by a panel discussion with our distinguished panelists Eva Biaudet, Atte Harjanne, Kaisa Kosonen and Yulia Yamineva, PhD on international and domestic actions to prevent the crossing of the climate tipping points. A policy brief outlining our findings will be published prior to the event. The event is based on the research conducted under the Finnish Flagship “Atmosphere and Climate Competence Center (ACCC) coordinated by University of Helsinki, Finnish Meteorological Institute, Tampere University and University of Eastern Finland. The event is co-organised in cooperation with the 2035Legitimacy project, funded by the Strateginen tutkimus | Strategic Research. The event is in English.

It is Earth Day! Let us make it count.   “Climate change is by far the greatest threat to humanity.” Prof. Itay Halevy, Head of the Center for Climate Research shared. With extreme droughts, less predictable and more extreme storms, and major issues in developing countries, this is our current and challenging reality.   The Weizmann Institute of Science, with its value of bettering humanity and looking toward the future, takes climate change very seriously. The Center for Climate Research, is one of the many research centers within the Institute for Environmental Sustainability, harnessing basic science for sustainable breakthroughs and solutions.

Spiritually, I forsee the outline - how the Climate Conflicts are going to unfold worldwide in the next few decades. Thus, I will work on scientific detailing through Geohydrologic studies which will be the backbone of the approach for the Sustainable Solutions-based Global Green Transition.

This opinion paper on climate services published in 2016 raises two incredibly interesting points: 1. No scientific works evaluate the "null hypothesis": what if climate information that policy-makers find useful is not available? 2. The market model is biased: those communities who are most vulnerable to climate impacts (generally poorer) may be least well served (climate "products might be produced only for those who can afford to purchase them")

🌍 Have you heard about the 3rd Mission Forum on Adaptation to Climate Change? 🌿 On May 22nd and 23rd, 2024, the 3rd Forum of the Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change brought together leading organizations and stakeholders to exchange views, identify successes and challenges, and shape the future direction of the Mission. Co-organized by Belgian Presidency of the Council of European Union , this event highlighted regional initiatives on adaptation and promoted dialogue among the community of participants. Throughout two days, participants, including REGILIENCE and sister projects ARSINOE_EU, Climate Impetus, TransformAr, Pathways2Resilience and REACHOUT delved into meaningful discussions by sharing insights for effective climate adaptation strategies. ✨ The event wrapped up with a strong a common commitment to urge climate adaptation measures, ensuring a resilient and sustainable future for all!

With 💡Matteo De Felice and Sandro Calmanti, we discussed similar observations at the latest EGU conference in a PICO session focused on the business model crisis in climate services. Our discussions covered a range of crucial topics, and it's definitely worth revisiting. Check out the session for an analysis of the opportunities in the evolving landscape of climate services. https://lnkd.in/dmhYpEbu #ClimateServices #EGUConference #Sustainability #BusinessModelCrisis #ClimateChange

I have my published article entitled "Understanding the concern to communicate climate change in Northeast of Catanduanes, Philippines" European Journal of Social Impact and Circular Economy. EJSICE is listed in DOAJ, ReviewerCredits; and indexed in EBSCO, COPERNICUS, BASE, CABI, and Google Scholar; recognized by ANVUR in economic, political, and social sciences." Published by the University of Turin, Italy.   Online Link: https://lnkd.in/gUKzp4HP   I have several research titles that you could consider based on the results of the present study:    -Exploring Multifaceted Strategies for Effective Climate Change Communication in Diverse Community Contexts.   -Understanding and Overcoming Barriers to Climate Change Communication: A Comprehensive Approach for Local Engagement.   -Innovative Approaches to Enhance Climate Change Awareness: Bridging Information Gaps and Financial Barriers in Local Communities   -Comparative Analysis of Climate Change Communication Strategies: Residents vs. Officials Perspectives in Local Contexts   -Building Resilience through Education: Investigating the Efficacy of Tailored Educational Programs in Climate Change Initiatives   -Community-Centered Strategies for Climate Change Communication: Lessons Learned and Future Directions   -The Role of Social Learning in Fostering Climate Change Concern: Insights for Tailored Communication Strategies
