Over breakfast, I began to read 'Sink or Swim' - the excellent new book by @susannahfisher.bsky.social. I only read the prologue but I'm so excited. It's unpicking lots of the challenging questions that are at the heart of transformational adaptation, and the tradeoffs with incremental approaches.

Vivian Depoues from @i4ce.bsky.social showcasing how collaborative work with the French Government where they set a warming trajectory (4 degrees) has been helpful to stimulate discussion on the costs of adaptation #ECCA2025

Paul outlining some of the work costing the UK's adaptation plan, as well as some of the learning. Existing costs are around 1% of public budgets. They show how we will have high costs to deal with existing stock, and that we will have to innovate to get better cost data.

Day 2 of #ECCA2025 - Philippe Tulkins outlines the work of the Adaptation Mission and it's contribution to both sustainability and European competitiveness.

Couldn't sleep properly, so went for a 5am moonlit walk with the dog. It was fabulous! So dark and crisp. When we got back, she went back to bed. Me on the other hand ended up having to crack on with the day. #zzzzzz

Getting the birdfeeders topped up ready for winter. Doing our bit to keep the birds happy. I've already seen a blue tit having a much but I wasn't quick enough for a snap! #nature #birds
