Congrats to @AIatMeta on tracking and releasing the carbon footprint estimation for Llama 3! 🌎
Also a good reminder that even with current optimization approaches, this is orders of magnitude more than previous generations of models (eg 100T for BLOOM, 540T for Llama 2) 🫠

Brews Soyapi, @KotzeProfessor & I reflect on the SA courts' recognition of Indigenous communities' cultural beliefs & practices in their efforts to protect the West Coast from seismic surveys & fossil fuel extraction. Shell's appeal was heard on 17 May https://t.co/4dD8AUANCW

A post @toniatigre, @NataliaUrzola and I wrote on #gender in the #klimaseniorinnen case - we argue that while the @ECHR_CEDH acknowledges gender as a concern it fails to recognise how gender shapes individual experiences of #climate harm

It's long been a question: could all of humanity actually live within the Doughnut? Thanks to Hauke Schlesier et al it's just been quantified for the 1st time. And the answer is probably yes - if we transform to economies of sufficiency. Read more here: https://t.co/aZjcj1TQ0P

Excited to have co-organised the first of this year's @IISJOnati workshops, along with the brilliant @ProfAoifeDaly, on children's rights & the right to a healthy environment. We have an incredible group of participants talking about intersections and opportunities 🎉

📢We are just days before historic decisions by the 🇪🇺⚖European Court of #HumanRights in 3⃣landmark #ClimateJustice cases
The significance of these cases could not be overstated.
@CIEL_tweets' experts will follow closely & available for comments, see: https://t.co/CM1j5D8kmq

[Louise du Toit @Louisedt]

In this case note, we discuss judicial engagement with Indigenous communities' cultural beliefs and practices and knowledge related to sustainability in recent SA climate litigation.
It was a pleasure to work with Dr Caiphas Soyapi & @KotzeProfessor!

The result of a two year project: an interdisciplinary team proposes the #PlanetaryCommons as a new approach to safeguarding earth’s critical biophysical systems in @PNASNews. A pleasure to have co-led this with @jrockstrom! @RIFS_Potsdam @ESG_Project

[Louise du Toit @Louisedt]

Very happy to have contributed to this multidisciplinary work on the law and governance of short-lived climate pollutants. My chapter considers how the global regulation of HFCs (a greenhouse gas) could be strengthened under the Montreal Protocol.
Available open access! 🎉

Courts are becoming planetary actors and Anthropocene institutions in their own right through their role in climate litigation. They are increasingly relevant for #EarthSystemLaw as we argue in this new OA paper: https://t.co/npXjJB6u3d @ESG_Project @SabinCenter @ESG_LawTF
