The Carney government wants to pare back aspects of Canada’s anti-greenwashing law, telling @meyer.bsky.social it prevents the fossil fuel industry and other groups from sharing their environmental claims. Critics say the law might be working as intended. thenarwhal.ca/greenwashing...

Carney is moving to nix some of Canada’s rules that restrict how oil and gas companies and other industries advertise environmental claims

How can we prepare for shocks? A good start is by collecting data on past events.

Centre researcher Emmy Wassénius leads the project Shock Tracker the first prototype of a united database of social-ecological shocks.

I crunched the numbers on my not-very-scientific survey of why people don't plant native plants.

210 people answered this Q. I read through the comments & categorized concerns into 10 categories.

Most common reasons were
1) Lack of Knowledge
2) No Time
3) Money
4) No good source for native plants

Can we expand the narrative and definition of human development to include flourishing with nature? Our new paper in Nature explores such a vision, and outlines a metric - the Nature Relationship Index - to sit alongside the Human Development Index.

Today, PM Mark Carney announced the tabling of Bill C-5.

Its proposed process for projects deemed “in the national interest” would directly undermine environmental protections and threaten Indigenous rights, while shutting down democratic decision-making. ⚠️

Work weeks like last one are a dream. As part of the Beijer Institute's Young Scholar Program, I got to meet with brilliant scholars from around the world working on theories, models and cases to better understand, prevent and adapt to shocks in an increasingly turbulent world.

Some of the most rewarding parts of doing a PhD has been working with this group!
In Québec this week for the @nserc-resnet.bsky.social AGM, which will be later this week at a true beauty of a spot in Jouvence, QC.

Leading up to that, I'm meeting with lovely friends & coworkers to prep for workshops, writing retreats, and presentations 🥰
