Wow — very impressed with Rachel Donald in how she questions Hannah Ritchie's techno-optimism and perspective on objectivity and being apolitical as a scientist. Must listen!
I went head-to-head with Hannah Ritchie of Our World In Data about her book, It's Not the End of the World, and its data omissions which paint a far rosier picture of the polycrisis than her backer, Bill Gates, would have us believe.

In an interview with Shell's CEO, he says "you also have, especially on the technical side, who say that you have to collaborate with Shell"; seemingly an indirect response to the successful Cut The Ties with Shell campaigns from Dutch universities. He knows how this hurts Shell, activism works.

The first article of our loss and damage research in Bangladesh is published. Together with Karen McNamara and co-researchers, who did research in Fiji, we advocate for assessing loss and damage based on 'local values' instead of using top-down frameworks

The wins are small and insufficient, but they exist! It cannot be a coincidence that after years of intensive campaigning and blockades by Extinction Rebellion NL, the Netherlands "has been at the forefront of combating fossil fuel subsidies". Blocking roads works.

No one has ever told me how stressful it is to have journals make you proofread your submission, to have to reread every sentence you wrote many months ago and not be able to change it is dreadful.

I am really proud of this brief in which we, a large group of researchers and practitioners, critique the gap between Non-Economic Loss and Damage research and UNFCCC-level policy, and propose ways forward on how bridge this.
📜NEW BRIEF: This new @lossanddamage policy brief seeks to bridge the gap between Non-Economic #LossAndDamage (NELD) research and policy by providing specific recommendations on how NELD can be better integrated within the @UNFCCC.

I appreciate the author's idea of leaving quotes in their original language, so that meaning is not lost in translation, and putting English versions in endnotes. But in some places that will just result in unreadable pages where I'm going back and forth all the time.

I keep coming back to the manifesto "Power, Prestige & Forgotten Values" on the Western hegemony in disaster studies and ways forward in how to address it.

You can call me a 'climate catalyst' as well because I'm also not flying private (from the TIME100 most influential climate leaders list).

A small personal win to share. The new Adaptation Gap report, which has a chapter on Loss and Damage, references a technical paper I lead. I assume that people get insensitive for these things for a while, but as this is the first bigger mention, I am delighted :)

What a loss for his family, Bangladesh, and the climate community. So many hearts are broken. Without Dr. Huq, many of us would not have been able to do what we do, or be who we are; his generosity and support seemed infinite. May his soul rest in peace.

Positively overwhelmed by the response rate and helpfulness of professors today. I emailed four more experienced researchers with specific questions about past research and three already replied. Feeling very grateful and motivated.

The Dutch representative tried to exclude civil society from the next meeting of the Transitional Committee on the Loss and Damage Fund.
It is not surprising that someone born into royalty does not see value in voices for ordinary people.

Watching a group of climate activists discuss the killings in Palestine and am astonished to read some of the messages. Fortunately, it seems far to be the prevailing opinion, but how can some stand for climate justice and wish that climate movements be silent to avoid polarisation?
