Make politics progressive and the future green and fair! - Dutch political scientist, asst prof. at Radboud University; assoc. researcher at the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS)
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

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

Sebastian Reyes (Radboud U., NL) #COP29 shows concerning findings on the integrity of #ClimateAction:

"we see concerning trends: effectiveness of [UNFCCC registered] initiatives is going down [...] less than half initiatives have any monitoring arrangements in place."

Ik was onlangs geïnterviewd door @FD_Nieuws over de opkomst van CO₂-tracking apps. Hoewel deze apps bewustwording verhogen, is échte klimaatactie afhankelijk van structurele veranderingen door overheden en bedrijven. #Klimaatverandering #Duurzaamheid"
