Farewell friends, sad to be leaving Twitter after 10 years on this key knowledge exchange platform. Please join me at @kitmacleod.bsky.social

[Kit Macleod 🇺🇦 @KitMacleod]

I am back enjoying sharing what I find interesting in the worlds of environmental monitoring and adaptation, data engineering, and software engineering...even the occasional post about outdoor fun and my day job at #UKCEH. @kitmacleod.bsky.social.

Farewell friends,☹️to be leaving Twitter after 10 years on this key knowledge exchange platform. I will gradually start using https://t.co/Jftk8OLcJc. Twitter has been great for keeping up with tech + env news, learning about your work, + was an impt social geodata research tool.

Revere and Respira are already working with landowners in the Cairngorms with a view to issuing the first carbon credits under this facility during the current year. Revere and Respira believe that this work will encourage other landowners to use this.

Fascinating to hear about ecometric's soil carbon MRV working with Respira International to sell Blaston farm's voluntary carbon credits @BBCFarmingToday @JYeluripati @aitkenhead_matt

Yes important list of potential headline indicators, scored according to their level of development and the
capacity-building requirements

[JNCC @JNCC_UK]

We’re delighted the Expert Workshop on the monitoring framework for the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework identified our indicator of the global environmental impacts of consumption as a potential headline indicator for #COP15 to consider adopting!🧵

Good news😀: results for 2022 show numbers of breeding waders have remained relatively stable over the last five years, contrary to declines elsewhere. https://t.co/jsSe1wdwdd

The latest profile in our series highlighting #Scotland's #Conservation Scientists is @JamesHuttonInst's @RobinPakeman, who runs the amazing #GlenFinglas grazing experiment in @lomondtrossachs. Read it here: https://t.co/EisYkwNnqx @naturescot @WoodlandTrust #COP15

Next up in our series of #Scottishconservationscience profiles is @RobBrooker1 of @JamesHuttonInst. Read about his fascinating research in plant-plant interactions supporting sustainable #farming and #foodsecurity: https://t.co/dk42B0t7Os @naturescot

[Kit Macleod 🇺🇦 @KitMacleod]

Impressive message: renewable are the cheapest, renewable deployment is staggering, need to flip to exploit near-free power (the data centre must “dance with the grid”), so FLOPS per watt is not necessarily the only way to decarbonise. Found through @gsfcommunity podcast Ep1 thx.

I am looking forwards to these updates and discussions at this #COP27 event.

[Green Software Foundation @gsfcommunity]

We don't want #greensoftware to turn into a buzzword, nor do our member organizations.

We have accomplished a considerable amount this year. For #COP27, join us on November 10th to hear the latest innovations and milestones to decarbonize software: https://t.co/jtvESs7ysY

To address this 22% wedge of global emissions, the SBTi FLAG Guidance:
A whole sector approach covering all corporate land-related emissions+removals across ag+forestry
11 mitigation pathways for major commodities with significant carbon footprints incl. beef, chicken, dairy etc

[Science Based Targets initiative @sciencetargets]

Today, we’re launching the world’s first standard target setting guidance for companies in the forest, land and agriculture (FLAG) sectors, covering corporate land-related emissions and removals.
🧵Here’s why this is so important.

Secretary General António Guterres was speaking in New York ahead of a major climate conference in Egypt.

"There has been a tendency to put climate change on the back burner," he said. "If we are not able to reverse the present trend, we will be doomed."

[David Shukman @DavidShukman]

There’s a “promises gap” on cutting carbon emissions, says ⁦@antonioguterres⁩ so we’re heading for catastrophe. The UN chief talks to ⁦@BBCJustinR⁩ https://t.co/ZbrbuLS8zA

The Lancet Countdown report says the world's continued reliance on fossil fuels increases the risk of food insecurity, infectious disease and heat-related illness.

Climate impacts on global health are intensifying, especially record heat - latest ⁦@TheLancet⁩ report. A major theme for #COP27 next month. https://t.co/14pYRSRu8v

If interested in learning #iOS #SwiftUI development, then @twostraws #100DaysOfSwiftUI is excellent. Several marathons..a grounding in how #Swift simplifies development compared to #UIKit..a massive expanse of old and new APIs to understand and use to unlock amazing iPhone +APIs.
