[Emmy Wassénius @EmmyWassenius]

Are risk assessments adapted for a complex future? In this new #openaccess Perspective piece in @OneEarth_CP, @BeatriceCrona and I unpack this question and how it relates to sustainability risks. https://t.co/67I8OPrt0Y Short summary in thread below. 1/8

[Stockholm Resilience Centre @sthlmresilience]

Academia needs a shift in norms.

Air travel to attend conferences is common among researchers, despite contradicting sustainability values.

We need to rethink how we do research to change the status quo, say centre researchers in a new study.

Our @Nature paper identifies 4 roles #bluefoods can play for better food systems. Better nutrition, lower heart disease risk and carbon footprints and support for livelihoods and economies,-IF pursued in a sustainable way https://t.co/TPATmVhclC

[Emmy Wassénius @EmmyWassenius]

In our newly released article in @NatureFoodJnl we argue that food systems need to be tackled at BOTH local and global scales.

[Stockholm Resilience Centre @sthlmresilience]

We cannot tackle food crises by taking either a local or global perspective – we need both.

The authors of a new study identify 4 ‘aching points’ facing food systems and apply a resilience lens for solutions that support change at all scales.

Very interesting deep-dive by @LHreports into the investments by over 70 major European pension funds into commodity derivatives.

[Lighthouse Reports @LHreports]

INVESTIGATION Some of Europe’s largest pension funds are investing billions of euros in volatile commodity markets, risking the hard-earned income of their workers while fuelling a global hunger crisis, a new @LHReports investigation has found.

Great blog post about lessons learned from hosting a conference satellite to reduce conference-related aviation. Also nice video cameo from brilliant colleague @Bioblancag who attended.

New @wxrisk study: Climate change exacerbated extreme rainfall responsible for devastating Pakistan floods but historically rooted vulnerability and inequality also play a crucial role. https://t.co/hiwzPi6OSl

"We need to stop thinking of plastics just as a waste problem... we need to think of plastics as a climate problem". Great to hear the amazing @PatiVillarrubia explain why at @TEDCountdown

@Daniel_Ospina Yes, I agree that this is an important part in understanding what these figures mean. Working on a paper now to try and fill some of this gap.

[Emmy Wassénius @EmmyWassenius]

Figures that highlight the cascading risks in our globally connected system. From conflict to food security crisis, from regional to global. It is definitely time to rethink how we identify, address and mitigate these risks.

[Victor Galaz has moved to Blsky @vgalaz]

Den här sammanställningen är verkligen oroväckande. Hoppas att världen lärt från den senaste globala matkrisen 2007-2008.

[Emmy Wassénius @EmmyWassenius]

Great work on co-production of knowledge on the water crisis in Cape Town nicely captured in a 17 minute documentary.

[Johan Enqvist 🇸🇪🇿🇦 @johan_enqvist]

Citizens’ voices are important for #equitable #climateadaptation – and not only academics deserve to know!

A thread 🧵(1/6) on why working with activists made our research on #watergovernance more rewarding and relevant.

[Emmy Wassénius @EmmyWassenius]

Great article starting to synthesize the work on different types of "Essential Variables" into the EESVs. As the authors say "The EESV classes will advance our ability to monitor progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals."
