Climate, farming, food. Previously digital comms @SciDevNet @FarmAfrica @Chemonics. Now @SunKingGlobal. Views, sadly, my own.

@DanFarmAfrica @FarmAfrica @SNVworld @AGRA_Africa @IKEAFoundation Former FA staffers @anmbatia and I met up today. Singing Mary’s praises. Great to see new country director in action!

Spent a couple of weeks in Iraq training around 40 enumerators to collect large-scale data on trauma, mental health, and violent conflict as part of our @XCEPT_Research. We’re going to do the same in South Sudan, Syria, and Lebanon. Follow along to join our journey.

How do war and flagging global cooperation impact science, innovation and research? What impact does this have on the #SDGs and global development?

After seven years(!), here's my latest piece for @SciDevNet: https://t.co/QfryVXCfIu

I had the privilege to help tell these stories & work with brave 🇺🇦 colleagues over the last few months. From cooking 24/7 to transporting aid to the front, the scale & diversity of support everyday 🇺🇦s are providing to help one another is as inspiring & humbling as it is vital👇

The relationship between #ArmedConflict & #ClimateChange is blurry. It was a joy working w/ @ErolYayboke, @sahar_tabaja & @XCEPT_Research to articulate tech's promise (clarity, triangulation), and pitfalls (data, safety), in bringing the #conflict-#climate nexus into better focus

[CSIS @CSIS]

There is a complex, cyclical, and mutually destructive relationship between climate change and violent conflict.

Emerging technologies should be analyzed and deployed in a conflict-sensitive way to help break the cycle. https://t.co/tSmdJnFyyR

@NikiZWood @UKevaluation Well done Madame Vice Prez, well deserved.

[FCDO Research, Science and Technology @FCDOResearch]

There is a vital need to understand the opportunities and risks of #satellite and #geospatial data.

Last week, @CharlotteHWatts explained how @XCEPT_Research provides just this sort of cutting-edge learning in #ConflictResearch

Exactly 12 weeks from COP26, @AlokSharm_RDG reflects on Glasgow. He flags that we need to accelerate plans to reach the $100 billion climate finance target. “Without [climate] finance, everything else is very difficult, particularly for developing countries.” @Chemonics #CHevents

[Samuel Viney @SamuelViney]

Working on this @XCEPT_Research event has got me thinking! We need to do more to discuss how #tech shapes #globaldev research & policy. Learning from recent fiascos surrounding #SocialMedia companies use of data, we need to lean into these issues rather than respond retroactively

[XCEPT Research @XCEPT_Research]

On 20 Jan, world-leading experts will discuss how #satellite tech & #OpenSource data are presenting both opportunities & challenges to conflict researchers at this @XCEPT_Research event https://t.co/RSCA0frpH0 @nattyray11 @CharlotteHWatts @MoazzamTMalik @hamarquette @FCDOREDGCSD

@sahar_tabaja @Chemonics I'm so glad to hear that we are doing this!
