The final paper from my PhD research is published! Using a national, randomized cross-sectional survey, we found that hundreds of thousands of young people in Canada are experiencing clinically relevant levels of climate change anxiety (3.51% of youth). doi.org/10.1007/s105...

Did you know that most young people in Canada feel negative climate emotions? In our new cross-sectional national study, we found 95% of young people feel worry and 88% feel some hopelessness. These results show why climate action & climate-emotion support are so critical. Check it out below 👇👇👇

Our new study shows that grieving climate losses together isn’t just about sorrow—it can also help build the collective strength we need for change. This is one of my favourite papers. Check it out 👇👇👇

Attention US scientists: The @ipcc.bsky.social has issued a call for expert nominations for upcoming workshops on Engaging Diverse Knowledge Systems and Methods of Assessment. If you wish to apply via the US Academic Alliance for the IPCC, do it here, before July 11: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Aims of the workshops

Specific aims of Workshop 1 on engaging wider knowledge systems are:

to address how Indigenous Knowledge systems could be accessed and assessed by the IPCC, in particular considering effective and equitable engagement of Indigenous Knowledge holders and building on experience built up in other fora as appropriate;
to address how Iocal knowledge could be assessed by the IPCC, building on experience built up in other fora as appropriate;
to make recommendations for funding agencies as to how to support the engagement of knowledge holders in the IPCC programme of work.

The specific aims of Workshop 2 on methods of assessment are:

to make recommendations as to how systematic review methods could be applied within and outside IPCC assessments and how they could contribute to strengthening established assessment practices including uncertainty assessments;
to make recommendations to the IPCC, the Bureau and authors as to how new and extended methods of assessment such as artificial intelligence might be built into the IPCC programme of work;
to address how ex-post evaluation evidence could be assessed by the IPCC, building on experience built up in other fora as appropriate;
to identify precautionary measures or limitations that might be necessary to ensure adherence to IPCC’s principles and procedures for the preparation of reports; and
to make recommendations for scientific communities as to how new and extended methods could be used to develop literature which can more easily be assessed by the IPCC.

The goal across both workshops is to make recommendations as to how new and extended methods of assessment could be applied to different types of knowledge systems (such as scientific, Indigenous, local, practitioner).
