Mika Peck, Uni-Sussex: The next step in citizen science is “Civic Science” – researchers engaging with local communities without having already fixed research questions. Part of this is training “paraecologists”. @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Shova Thapa Karki, Uni Sussex: Need to close the gap between circular economy ideas and their application to the climate agenda. @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Daniel Kathe, UNU-FLORES: Exciting new UNU international hub to link research on water security & climate adaptation at four centres (Aachen-Bangkok-Chennai-Dresden). @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Anjali Sharma, John Hopkins Uni: Substantial net indirect-job losses when coal phased out in India. Need plans for alternative employment. @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Tejal Kanitkar, Nat Inst Adv Studies, India: Science says reaching net-zero emissions in 2050 is too late. Because of accumulated emissions in atmosphere, actually need to reach net zero earlier in order to stay within temperature limits. @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Mizan Khan, IIED: Locally-led adaptation represents fundamental shift in how society adapts to climate change. Who are local leaders? Do we have to train new local leaders to successfully lead adaption programmes? @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Ebony Holland, IIED: Big gap in adaptation financing to LDCs. And “unclear” whether international financing supports locally led adaptation. 80% intended to support local actors, but not convinced this is happening. @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

John Thompson: Big changes afoot on leadership of climate adaption: More and more leadership at the local level. Now need the resources to make this happen. @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Lisa Hiwasaki, Uni Rhode Island: SDGs on equality and justice not being linked enough to international policies on climate and disaster relief .

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Natalie Jones, Uni Cambridge: Indigenous peoples are agents of nature-based solutions. @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Chukwumerije Okereke, Centre for Climate and Development, Nigeria: Despite broad global consensus that we need to act urgently for sustainability, we are held back by politics (national debt, lack of citizen power, other inequalities and injustices) @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Helena Molin Valdes: Climate & Clean Air Coalition brings together cities, businesses, NGOs, UN, and others to combat climate change and air pollution. Policies that advance both climate goals and SDGs. @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Helena Molin Valdes reminds us that Paris Agreement & 2030 Development Agenda are unprecedented as universal agreements, with both N & S committed to making them happen. @SSRP_UoS @EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Kick off Evidence for Action Symp. K. Jones welcomes. Messages f. Peter Newell & Joyeeta Gupta: Transition to renewables has to factor in power relations & many elephants in the room i.e. holders of fossil fuel assets (pensions funds, philanthropies, others) @SSRP_UoS@EfA2021

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

"Green Industrial Revolution" Excellent goals, but lousy follow-through. Brilliant to tie jobs with greening economy but nuclear not sustainable and not everyone needs an electric car. How about more energy-efficient buses, trains and cycleways? @SSRP_UoS @bondngo @SussexUniPress

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Very happy Sussex Sustainability Research Programme could contribute to the Uni Sussex being named worldwide No. 1 Uni in Development Studies https://t.co/vXIS4HQxmy Congrats to all SSRP researchers in UK and 15 LMICs!

See new findings in @nature: Climate inaction means nations must now cut emissions 2x as fast. But good news is 76 nations are pursuing net-zero targets. Now need to combine actions to rapidly cut emissions with other global goals e.g. reducing inequality https://t.co/X1CcIiezS0

Madrid Climate Conference is history. Next year it’s UK’s turn to host #COP26. Will it be ready? Government action needed to put UK on path to zero emissions in 2050 as promised in Manifesto. #COP25 #Climatechange #Climateemergency @SSRP_UoS

[Joseph Alcamo @JosephAlcamo]

Kind of good news from Madrid – Highest climate change scenarios becoming unlikely even with limited country commitments. Bad news - almost out of time to stay within 1.5 degree target without draconian carbon capture projects. #COP25 #Climatechange #Climateemergency @SSRP_UoS
