‘The outcomes of @COP29_AZ are an insult to poor and marginalised people in developing countries who are at the frontline of climate change but have done little to contribute to it.’ @Lylamehta 👇

We are honored to contribute to this platform that celebrates Mumbai’s vibrant social fabric, while creating space for meaningful conversations about the city's past, present, and future.

Special thanks @rustphase31 @MumbaisMagic and the @Tapestry_T2S team! @stepscentre

[Prof Lyla Mehta @Lylamehta]

We need to accept uncertainty, climate extremes & embrace preparedness. The era of control is over. Unless this is accepted, some will resort to conspiracy theory, haunt meteorologists & claim hurricanes are engineered as in #Florida

‘We need to make economics more human-centred and holistic, more attuned to the inequalities that the current growth paradigm has generated and to the harm it has inflicted on people and planet.” Great interview w @N_Kabeer

[Prof Lyla Mehta @Lylamehta]

So many of these 'rare events' are getting more frequent. Yet it continues to be business as usual on the #Gujarat coast which is dotted with industries & ports & the natural cover from mangroves destroyed. Hope everybody we know from @Anticipate_CC @Tapestry_T2S stays safe.

[Prof Lyla Mehta @Lylamehta]

The Kerela landslide & the huge death toll are terrible tragedies.

Destroying hills, forests, water bodies & wetlands for tourism & commercial developments in ecologically sensitive areas in a uncertain climate must stop

When will authorities wake up & smell the coffee?

[Prof Lyla Mehta @Lylamehta]

With flooding again devastating #Mumbai & other cities replugging this pub led by Hans Adam on why urban governance needs to embrace intersecting uncertainties, incl those from climate change, esp for vulnerable residents @Tapestry_T2S @NIVAforskning

[Prof Lyla Mehta @Lylamehta]

Just stumbled on @Outlookindia print copy on climate injustice, incl. a great piece by @PKashwan. Clearly international climate justice frameworks aren't fit for purposes & instead need to be grounded in local needs, interests & tackle class, caste & gender inequalities

[Prof Lyla Mehta @Lylamehta]

Congratulations to @grassandgreens for her prestigious @UKRI_News Future Leaders Fellowship on reimagining preparedness in contexts of climate uncertainty. Great way to take forward work from @Anticipate_CC @Tapestry_T2S @BrownGold_GCRF. richly deserved & will be v exciting

[Prof Lyla Mehta @Lylamehta]

Just Transition has become a buzzword & legitimises a form of ‘green growth’ that’s often unjust. #JustTransition should be a ‘ broader transition away from the systems of wealth and resource extraction that harm both people and planet.’ #ClimateChange https://t.co/gQJmcU63HI

[Institute of Development Studies @IDS_UK]

Climate change should be central to a transformative approach to development, not separated from development efforts.

After the #GeneralElection, what global action on #ClimateChange should a new UK government take?

On the eve of #UKElections2024, reposting this blog we wrote on global action on #climatechange and policy priorities with @IanScoones @Lylamehta @LarsOttoNaess@ Roz Price @nathan_oxley. Linking climate change and development challenges is essential @IDS_UK
