Our Director, Prof. @chuks_okereke recently gave a Keynote Speech at the Earth Systems Governance Conference in the city of Oaxaca in Mexico.
The Earth Systems Governance Conference is one of the most prestigious conferences for scholars working on global environmental politics.

Isn't this remarkable? To have a zero-emission street is something that should be replicated in a wider scale and in many more places.

We found this photo quite engaging in many ways and we thought we should share it. Time is running out. Let us all work together to save our planet, today.

We know it’s sometimes hard to explain the link between bushfires and climate change with your family and friends. Here’s a quick guide, backed by science, for how you can have a conversation about these issues.

Every time a media outlet gives updates on GDP growth, they should be made to also give updates on emissions, global temperatures, deforestation, soil depletion, insect biomass and species extinction.

It’s challenging for women to lead, to be at the table, to have a voice, to be women “as well as.”

I think that when you’re in a room that you’re privileged to be in & you’ve finally made it but all you see opposite you is a bunch of men, ask the question: “Where are the women?”

On Friday, I published a column exploring what I see as a likely narrowing of the window of possible climate futures this century. It’s kicked up a bit of dust which, I think, obscures the meaning of the column... https://t.co/SI4IWQM7JZ (1/x)

Why the world need to take urgent action against #climatechange and invest in #climateresearch - but because the poor is largely affected, it seems we do little. #ClimateActionNow

The magic and powers of trees.

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

A single tree can absorb 10 pounds of air pollutants a year. So each native tree we plant - and each established tree we protect and treasure - is good for our own health, as well as for wildlife, biodiversity, and tackling #climatechange 🌳🌳🌳

We should talk more about #climatechange
We should galvanise more and take more action.

Kenya is battling for Africa’s UN security council seat with Djibouti, which also has experience of dealing with food and water shortages as a consequence of changing weather conditions partially due to climate change: https://t.co/S0SWxwryNN

Did your school have electricity?

Imagine if it had not...68% of primary schools in low-income countries are without electricity. This puts them behind schools which do, and which have more access to more technology and learning resources.

Large-scale, immediate transformation is needed to keep the #ParisAgreement goals in reach. #GHGemissions must be slashed by roughly half by 2030 to avoid pushing temperature rise above 1.5 degrees C. Learn more: https://t.co/6ZwWz5CvTh #StepUp2020 #ClimateAction

At the #Cop25Madrid2019, African delegates pushed for support for climate finance to build resilience against the impact of #climatechange and for special consideration for #Africa around targets contained in the treaties under discussion.

France to invest millions on new bike paths. We need initiatives like this in #Nigeria and in the rest of the world.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

#France is going big on #bikes investing over 350 million on new bike paths along with a range of other pedal friendly initiatives.

Solutions to the #climate crisis are everywhere. Let's implement them #GreenNewDeal

@fmeclimateng has said it is mobilising stakeholders for campaign on environment and #climatechange.
It's interesting to know that Nigerian government is increasingly taking seriously the issue of #climatechange.
