Climate intervention may not be enough to save coffee, chocolate and wine, new study finds
A new study published in Environmental Research Letters reveals that even advanced climate intervention strategies may not be enough to secure the future of wine grapes, coffee and cacao. These crops are vital to many economies and provide livelihoods for farmers worldwide. However, they are increasingly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Rising temperatures […] The post Climate intervention may not be enough to save coffee, chocolate and wine, new study finds appeared first on IOP Publishing.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥

There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️

They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

The 2024–2025 State of Wildfires report shows a paradox: less land burned, but record carbon released.

ECMWF scientists analysed what drove wildfire events and generated air-quality datasets.

Global wildfires burned an area of land larger than India in 2024

"the 2024-25 wildfire season drove more than 8bn tonnes of CO2 emissions"

... which will translate into around $1.5 TRILLION in global societal costs (in net present value)

📊 The IPBES #NexusAssessment Report highlights how nexus governance can address indirect & direct drivers of change as an alternative to siloed approaches.

Learn about the key components of a nexus approach with this graphic.

💡 https://www.ipbes.net/nexus-assessment
An infographic explaining scaling approaches in nexus governance. At the top, four speech bubbles illustrate different scaling types: "Scaling deep" (showing thought processes), "Scaling up" (institutional growth), "Scaling down" (distribution), and "Scaling out" (geographic expansion). The main diagram flows from left to right showing: Left section: Lists indirect drivers (Economic, Demographic, etc.) and direct drivers (Land/sea use change, Climate change, etc.) Middle section: Shows nexus challenges and elements with icons for biodiversity, water, agriculture, and health Right section: Depicts "Key components" of nexus governance including: Decision-support tools Capacities (showing analytical, motivational, bridging, and social networking) Enhanced opportunities for diverse actor engagement Implementation of response options (lightbulb icon) The bottom shows five key components of NEXUS GOVERNANCE: Integrative and holistic framings Inclusive approaches Considerations of equity and accountability Processes for collaboration and coordination Adaptive, reflexive and experimental The design uses a color-coded system to show relationships between different elements and processes.
