Well done to our Grantham Scholar @Liang_Kresearch on the publication of her paper which outlines a resilience evaluation framework for hydrogen supply chains 🙌

Our continued survival depends in part on our relationship with soil 🌱 But what can literature tell us about this complex relationship?

Our Grantham Scholar, Meg Meredith, wrote this insightful @ConversationUK article about the novels that highlight the importance of soil. 📚

This is a really inspiring and insightful article by our #COP29 delegate, Dr Sally Thomas, on the importance of engaging young people with disabilities in conversations around #ClimateChange.

“A low risk [of really extreme warming] is not no risk. That risk exists. If that risk is so severe it’s going to be catastrophic or existential, policy makers need to be prepared.”
One of the quotes from me in this excellent piece from @RTakver discussing the impact of #COP29.

[Grantham Centre @granthamcsf]

This year we sent delegates from @sheffielduni to @COP29_AZ so they can witness global climate policy being made.🌍

But with #COP29 set to end in disappointment, is it time to rethink the whole COP process?

This is a fascinating thread by @nowthenmag 🧵

[Now Then Magazine @nowthenmag]

These are some of the delegates from @SheffieldUni who are attending the #COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan, which closes today.

But how useful really is COP, and does it have any effect on people's lives here in South Yorkshire?

A quick thread 🧵⬇️

“I’m not going to now go around telling people how to live their lives" - #KierStarmer at #COP29 on announcing the UK's new carbon targets.

But can we reach these targets without expecting people to change their behaviour?

Could #COP29 be the greatest failure in COP history? Our delegate, Kathryn, is sharing her insights from @COP29_AZ.

[Kathryn @kathryn_schoon_]

At #COP29 in Baku. Today the mood is despondent. People are calling it the greatest fail of any COP yet. No agreements on an amount to finance to developing countries, and China, UAE and Singapore still not classed at developed and to give money.

[Grantham Centre @granthamcsf]

We're in the final days of #COP29Azerbaijan and negotiations have been slow. Will it have a positive impact on #SouthYorkshire, let alone the world? 🌍

This is a fantastic @nowthenmag article by @RTakver all about COP, featuring experiences from our @sheffielduni delegates.
