Climate pals, what are your favorite examples of actions that simultaneously reduce climate pollution and help us adapt to climate changes that we can no longer avoid? Joint Adaptation and Mitigation (JAM), if you will.

I have been letting the closing of @adaptationfutures.bsky.social simmer in my mind for the last day. What did we learn - what do we know about adaptation and what are the big questions? A brief thread to summarise what jumped out at me. 🧵 1/4

I'm a researcher primarily in adaptation. We are not even adapted to where the climate is today. If you think you can seawall your way through a 4°C planet, you are straight up dreaming. Mitigation AND adaptation, or you end up with way more of option 3 for dealing with climate change: suffering.

The @ipbes.bsky.social #TransformativeChange Assessment Report examines fundamental changes required for a future where people live in harmony with nature.🌍🧪 Explore the framework for change in this graphic ⤵️ Learn more: www.ipbes.net/transformati...

A graphic from the IPBES Transformative Change Assessment Report Summary for Policymakers.
Figure SPM.2 The framework of transformative change for a just and sustainable world. Section A indicates views, structures and practices (the inner golden spirals) being strongly shaped by the underlying causes of biodiversity loss and nature’s decline (solid grey ring). Section B shows shifts in views, structures and practices breaking the influence of the underlying causes when they are guided by the four key principles of transformative change (blue ring). Section C illustrates a just and sustainable world, with prevailing views, structures, and practices aligned with the principles of transformative change. This framework can be used by different actor groups to help identify where and how they can promote, accelerate and scale the process of transformative change towards a just and sustainable world.

How to do Managed Retreat, and how not to. First look at how the French are responding to flooding in the Pas de Calais. Houses built on flood wplains will be demolished and the area will absorb water during floods, protecting the higher density city of Blendecques. #Climate #Adaptation

100%. Plus, the discourse has convinced many that 1.5 C is a “tipping point” as opposed to a policy milestone that signifies that we are already experiencing dangerous climate change, and the discourse is laying groundwork for a loss of credibility when 1.50 C turns out to be nothing special.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

Cover from The Economist from two years ago "Say goodbye to 1.5°C; why climate policy is off target". It has a graphic of the Earth with an apple on its head, and a arrow shot through the Earth.
