Our newly published OA paper in @OneEarth_CP proposes three criteria for evaluating the success of migration as adaptation based on a review of global evidence: well-being, equity and sustainability.
Happy to see my @boell_eu@IOM_MENA@epc_eu Policy Brief out!

🚨Once again, we are sending out a Red Alert.
📈The #StateOfClimate update confirms that 2024 is on track to be the hottest year on record—hotter even than 2023, which smashed all previous records.

In a newly published OA paper in npj Urban Sustainability, we suggest that building social empathy between urban planners and #migrants can lead to inclusive and #sustainable cities and facilitate recognition and procedural aspects of urban #climate_justice.🧵
These findings demonstrate that that the participation of marginalised actors in urban planning can be an important first step towards addressing the multidimensional and multilevel persisting inequalities that impact urban sustainability.
💥 NEW REPORT💥
The climate crisis is a human rights crisis.
A few days ahead of @CIJ_ICJ's historic climate hearings, read how the #RightToRemedy applies to #LossAndDamage in the context of escalating climate harms: https://t.co/JiojIRWnHb
A thread 🧵👇
This is outrageous that the UNFCCC is now restricting INSIDE ACTION in the venue, in the 3rd COP host country in a row that already does not allow any protests outside of the venue, like big climate protest marches. But civil society will not be silenced! #payupforclimate
1/7. 📢COP 29 WEEK ONE SUMMARY: Here is our summary of what happened under discussion on #LossAndDamage 🔥⛈️🌪️ and the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (#NCQG) during the first week of #COP29. 🔎

My comment as the COP29 reaches its midpoint.
"As we reach the midpoint of COP29, it is deeply disturbing to witness the climate finance negotiations come to a standstill. Developed nations continue to display a disturbing level of apathy, viewing vital climate finance as mere investments rather than the lifeline that developing countries urgently need.
“Their reluctance to commit to the scale of the new climate finance goal and ensure it is provided in the form of grants rather than loans and investments not only undermines the success of this conference but also casts a shadow over the integrity of these wealthy nations. Their chronic failures underscore a preference for promoting their economic interests at the expense of providing real support to those enduring the most severe effects of climate change.
“As developing nations strive to implement critical climate actions, they are unfairly coerced into committing to the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy without the necessary financial and technological support, even as developed countries ramp up their own fossil fuel extraction. This situation is not merely unfair but starkly unjust, compelling vulnerable nations to confront monumental climate challenges alone, while their populations remain without basic energy access.
“It’s time for developed countries to step up, fulfill their obligations, and make a genuine commitment to meeting the climate action needs of developing nations. We cannot afford to let this COP fail—there's far too much at stake.”

📢📢"The Right to Stay". Join us for possibly the only event about voluntary #immobility at #COP29. What happens when people are told to leave climate-risky areas but want stay and don't give up? Who decides that a place is no longer habitable?
