Anyways, if you'd like to understand how academics, journalists, civic groups, and local policymakers can advance and integrate climate and health policy even in an uncertain federal environment, you should join us at @thexylom.com for a candid discussion with experts from @mason4c.bsky.social:

Hard to believe it’s already been two years since I submitted my PhD thesis @ecioxford.bsky.social @oxfordgeography.bsky.social

For anyone interested in how we can leverage extreme weather events as climate communication opportunities, you can find a free copy here: ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid...

Our latest research, led by @finejulia6.bsky.social, suggests:

U.S. federal climate policy & health policy are not well integrated.

Better integration can build support for climate policy & maximize mutual benefits.

Education, coordination & advocacy are needed to advance climate-health policy.

I'm delighted to share our recently published research study on the potential to better integrate health policy & climate policy in the US federal government--for the benefit of all Americans, now and in the future.

@finejulia6.bsky.social @joshettinger.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Those profiting from industries driving the climate crisis try to convince policy makers & public that (i)experts can’t agree, and (ii)policies addressing climate change are unpopular.

Neither is true.

If you want stronger climate action-you are the majority.

It's well documented that people often underestimate how much others care about climate change. In our new paper, we show 2024 UN Environment Assembly attendees underestimate global willingness to contribute 1% of income to climate action by nearly half (37% vs. 69%).

How do Americans perceive the health risks of climate change? Our new report with @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social reveals that more Americans are recognizing the health threats posed by climate change. www.climatechangecommunication.org/wp-content/u...

What are the most effective ways to communicate with policymakers about climate change, health, and their intersection? Our new review in Lancet Planetary Health explores this question by synthesizing the findings of 139 studies from around the world: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

As I think about a friend whose family lost their LA home yesterday, I feel anger at those who, as usual, insist that "now is not the time to talk about climate change" because it "politicizes" suffering. If we want to save lives, we must address climate change.

Two PhD openings in Psychology at the University of Amsterdam about adolescents and climate friendly behavior: one co-supervised by me, and another one more on computational modeling. Thanks for sharing

Do you work on climate and health policy? If so, please consider submitting an article to our new special issue in the Journal of Climate Change and Health. Publishing is free or substantially reduced in cost for researchers in low-income or middle-income countries.

I found this recent episode of This American Life thought-provoking: a newsletter called Tangle is trying to bridge partisan divides by summarizing news from left, center, and right sources. Its readership is 1/3 Democratic, 1/3 Independent, 1/3 Republican.

@colognaviktoria.bsky.social, @nielsmede.bsky.social and colleagues have been publishing loads of interesting research on trust in science – looking forward to digging into these findings

🌍 Hello Bluesky people! I'm a climate communication researcher exploring how we can build support for climate action across diverse sectors. I’ll be sharing resources I find thought-provoking and useful, with a focus on dialogue-based approaches, storytelling, and connecting art + science.
