Best post-COP analysis..........by a mile!

Technology will not solve the problem of climate change https://t.co/uGDuqHw43X

@timparrique Fantastic, looking forward to it, particularly the question of degrowth as a risk mitigation strategy.

[JMI&SD @JMega_ISD]

Conclusion
The slavish adherence to growth needs to be revisited.
The pandemic response contrasts with inaction on climate change exposing vulnerabilities in a system focusing on short-term financial gain rather than long-term resilience. Read the article https://t.co/KnWnWqIxOd

As the aftermath of COP26 moves attention away from the pandemic JMI&SD’s Carte Blanche offers six lessons from COVID that apply to the Megaprojects trying to adapt to and mitigate climate change. A Thread🧵

[JMI&SD @JMega_ISD]

6. Complete transparency is essential

To encourage informed citizen engagement and to keep people on board for the long term. Good communication can stop misinformation and be clear about the balance struck between factual information and the inherent value judgements.

[JMI&SD @JMega_ISD]

@timparrique Both 1 & 2 were great when can we expect 3?

[Tunde Ajia @Tuibaj]

Without a clear set of env., #social & #economic priorities, our #megaprojects will continue to fail. The 1st critical success factor of any #megaproject is its basis for #construction. We must get our overall goals clear & then choose what kinds of inf/ture can best deliver them

[JMI&SD @JMega_ISD]

"infrastructure is responsible for 79 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions and 88 per cent of all adaptation costs"... Where do megaprojects fit in this picture?
