Hi Friends! Getting started on Bsky as my new-COP-cycle resolution. While I wouldn't want to encourage a more siloed conversation, I hope the discussion can be more constructive here (and contribute less to a company whose values I don't share). That said, anyone else overwhelmed by social media?

We still have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between evidence and policy. Program evaluation in particular is often motivated by a desire to make policy better. But how effective is program evaluation itself?Michelle Rao's JMP tackles this question. www.michellerao.com/research

First post and three emotions, off the back of COP29: Betrayal at the failure of developed countries to deliver finance for humankind, rage at the influence of the fossil fuel industry in climate decision-making, and determination to continue as part of our movement for people + planet over profit.

@garynunn.bsky.social interesting article in the guardian today but can you offer any help on how to identify good charities. Is there quick and handy list, leader board or something reliable? The digital overwhelm is real this time of year so can't spend hours researching.

"There’s a false stereotype that hiker-biker trails deliver recreational and health benefits to fit men in spandex alongside a host of joggers. But in the Washington region as elsewhere, they are often used as transportation to jobs and other amenities." ggwash.org/view/97621/m...

Second largest COP and yet the passes for health sector observer organisations were slashed significantly and many heads of state and senior decision makers not attending... Last year featured the first COP health day with a call for fossil fuel phase out. Coincidence?

"Although this outcome avoids the worst, it does not improve the situation, which is further worsened by all the numerous free-wheeling voluntary carbon market announcements that were made throughout the two weeks of the COP"
