New paper: FROM PLEDGES TO PLACES 🗺️

Our paper in NPJ Climate Action shows why spatial data is key for credible, integrated biodiversity & climate action.

We urge UNFCCC, CBD & UNCCD to:
➡️ Require spatial data in reporting
➡️ Enable monitoring
➡️ Support data collection & use

@nieuws.nos.nl revealed that @gcadaptation.bsky.social overstated results to raise funds. As a former researcher, I faced pressure to support hype over science. I left because real research became impossible. Climate adaptation needs scientific knowledge, not spin. nos.nl/artikel/2585...
Nederlands klimaatcentrum misleidde donateurs om geld binnen te halen
Uit onderzoek van de NOS blijkt dat het Global Center on Adaptation zijn eigen invloed sterk overdreef.

Unchecked power has no place in climate adaptation. Granting immunity to @gcadaptation.bsky.social in Kenya, combined with conflicts of interest in Verkooijen's dual role as GCA CEO and University of Nairobi Chancellor does a disservice to global adaptation action.

Een echte internationale organisatie zou niet zelf kunnen besluiten om te verhuizen. Een echte IO zou zulke dreigementen niet mogen uiten.

A real international organisation would not be able to decide by itself to relocate. A real IO should not be allowed to make such threats.

Nederland draait geldkraan dicht van prestigieus maar omstreden klimaatcentrum
Acht jaar geleden haalde Nederland het centrum nog met veel bombarie hierheen. Nu de Nederlandse financiering wegvalt, dreigt de directeur met een vertrek.

🌍 On 2 July 2025, the EU will propose its 2040 climate target—potentially using international carbon credits under Article 6.

Our new #PolicyBrief outlines key conditions to ensure any such use strengthens, not weakens, EU climate action.

At #SB62 in Bonn, I shared 5 lessons from 10+ years of research on nonstate & subnational climate action:

Don’t let cooperation peak & fade
Tackle structural imbalances
Share decision-making power
Nature-based action = inclusion
Deliver on ambition
