After 9 years at Universidad Loyola Andalucía, I'm starting a new chapter as a professor of political science at @pablodeolavide.upo.es

Here's to new beginnings! 🚀

🗣️New OA publication!

Our study underscores the critical role of trust in policy-implementing institutions in mitigating emigration intentions among individuals who perceive an intensification of drought severity in Africa 👇🏽

A politician, an ambassador, a technocrat, an economist, and two special envoys walk into a panel on climate change at #Ff4D and have a thought-provoking discussion on climate finance and strategies to better align the cause with everyday challenges faced by the public. #COP30

• 66% of the population believes that the government is not taking their concerns about climate change seriously enough.

• 45% have climate anxiety

• Climate change makes the vast majority consider migration as means to find a better future for their families.

Only a small percentage have participated in a climate change- related protest (@fridaysforfuture.bsky.social)

However…

• The majority of the population has a stronger desire to leave Honduras than to relocate within its borders.

• The vast majority have family member(s) that has already left Honduras.

Although the majority believes that floods and droughts have gotten worse over time, there is more concern about droughts—even when floods are more frequent.

• There is an overall agreement that climate change negatively impacts the entire country, but not individual municipalities.

• The vast majority believes that climate change is having a negative effect on agriculture production—particularly coffee production.

Our report on climate change perceptions and migration in Honduras is finally here!

Here is a 🧶 with some of out main findings and the free link to the report (in Spanish) 👇🏽

2024: the warmest year on record and the first to pass 1.5C. Does this mean we breached the Paris agreement? Not quite.

This is climate variability—temperature could go down next year. We need to surpass 1.5C for the next 10+ years to reach global average temperatures that surpass the Paris goal.

What scares me most.

Ayer tuve el placer de presentar nuestra investigación sobre cómo el cambio climático incrementa la conflictividad entre grupos intercomunitarios.

Esta tarde tendremos un grupo de trabajo sobre cambio climático y seguridad humana @AECPA
