SEI:s vd @mansanilsson, forskningschef @Perssonasa och experter lyfter högaktuella ämnen i #Almedalen2024.

Hur ska vi nå en rättvis #klimatomställning? Hur påverkas forskning och #bistånd av nuvarande #geopolitik?

To reach #NetZero, heavy industries in all parts of the world will need to deploy new technologies & use the latest know-how.

Looking forward to moderating this roundtable, which will explore ways for the public & private sectors to accelerate this process. #IndustryTransition

[INTOSAI Journal @INTOSAIJournal]

.@Perssonasa of @SEIresearch, shared keynote remarks at the #UN- #INTOSAI Symposium, noting a new era of #climateaccountability wherein #SAIs serve a key role in meeting future #SDG13 goals and #climatetargets, and how scientific academia can share tools with the SAI community.

A very uplifting evening at @KTHuniversity professors’ installation, with lots of sustainability research and innovation.

Excellent to see @Laura_Cozzi_ awarded an honorary doctorate, for the incredibly important work of @IEA in presenting evidence and data for climate action.

New paper🚨

“Global CO2 emissions for 2023 increased by only 0.1% relative to 2022 (following increases of 5.4% and 1.9% in 2021 and 2022, respectively)…

…Although the trend is upwards, the pace of growth has been slowing, suggesting GLOBAL EMISSIONS MIGHT HAVE PLATEAUED.”

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

In a new article for today's @FinancialTimes, our Executive Director @fbirol highlights the economic, industrial, strategic & technological forces driving the transition to clean energy

[Jim Skea @JimSkeaIPCC]

At the #CopenhagenClimateMinisterial, I stressed to ministers that if we do not act now, we close the option of limiting warming to 1.5°C as we will have used up the carbon budget by 2030, even with the current set of nationally determined contributions.

Editorial in today's Times reacting to @CarbonBrief's latest analysis of UK emissions...

"What is perhaps most impressive about the UK’s managed transition towards a decarbonised economy is that consumers will hardly have noticed the gradual change."

Big, big congratulations to you @HeidiTuhkanen ! What an achievement, also while working for SEI. Lucky us to benefit from your insights Dr Tuhkanen. ⭐️

I am excited to announce that I defended my PhD last Friday!

Stort grattis @jrockstrom ! En enorm folkbildningsgärning som gett stort avtryck. Stolt över att ha bidragit till detta arbete.

[Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement @TylerPrize]

It’s OFFICIAL: Scientist Johan Rockström has won the 2024 Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement! @jrockstrom is being recognized for his pioneering work on the “Planetary Boundaries” framework, a scientific guide to help keep the planet in a safe operating space. First published in 2009, the #planetaryboundaries determine the limits in which humanity can safely operate within the natural world, integrating the nine systems that determine the functioning and the state of the planet. They provide life-support to humans, and include systems we all rely upon, such as clean water, a stable climate, and vibrant biodiversity.

Learning so much at the EU integration session @SEIresearch Science Forum. Also loving the creative ways of communicating at the event.

Så upprörande och tragiskt. Lika gammal som mig. Dokumentären om Navalny och hans kampanj efter mordförsöket är bland det starkaste jag sett. Modet hos honom och hans familj! https://t.co/CtRPNFAufP

Användarvänlig grafik i @dagensnyheter idag på kommunnivå, som bygger på @SEIforskning data från Konsumtionskompassen och @SMHI data om klimatförändringar och -effekter.

Former Govt Minister Robert Jenrick had an article in @Telegraph last week on net zero which contains some misleading statements.
