The Colegio de San Ildefonso in CDMX has a very interesting expo on cities and the environment, including an exhibit on the reconstruction in Acapulco after Otis and another one on community oriented housing in Barcelona. There’s a big opportunity to raise awareness on climate issues via art!

Excited to announce a new @pnas.org publication on the Social Cost of Carbon. We integrate evidence from the literature and expert survey to provide an SCC distribution inclusive of both parametric and structural uncertainties. Our mean 2020 value is $283 per ton CO2 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

There are crucial connections among the different environmental crises facing the world. The Nexus Assessment Report of IPBES is a fundamental resource to study them

I am starting a series of threads on some of my favorite environmental politics and history books and articles 🌳 Today, let’s talk about “Political Landscapes” from Christopher Boyer (2015), which explores the intersection between state land policies and community conservation efforts in Mexico 1/4

Going to a new gym is like going to a new supermarket: it’s all momentary angst and confusion, as in “are these all the barbells?” Or “I cannot get through my list without X machine?” And “oh wait, I hadn’t seen this before, it’s kinda cool” But at least I got a new record with my pull-ups 😎

How common is opposition to wind energy and what predicts where it occurs? My new open-access research in @PNASNews looks at wind energy opposition across North America between 2000 to 2016. We find opposition is common and growing over time. THREAD🧵 www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....
