🚨Less than one in 12 African cities is covered by more than one piece of climate change research, and many are completely absent from the evidence base altogether, with major implications for climate assessments. A hugely significant study from @efesce.bsky.social and colleagues, in Nature Cities.

Hello friends. Lovely to find you here.

A mainstay (some might say expert) on the UNFCCC and UN chemicals and wastes discussions.

I research to inform policy, I speak to help foster evidence based discussions. Let's chat.

And a bit closer to work from DALL-E 3 AI image generation:

"A blueprint on a drafting table with one large square and four smaller orangish/blueish squares within, all outlined with no fill. The title of the blueprint is "European Climate Law/Governance Regulation".

To limit global warming to '1.5°C with no or limited overshoot', the decline in global CO2 emissions relative to 2019 are:
* 48% by 2030
* 80% by 2040
* 99% by 2050

It is 2023 & global CO2 emissions are still rising!
