70 countries have a national #adaptation plan (#NAP), but less than 40% are tracking its implementation❗ More attention is needed on the quality of adaptation planning & how effective it is in facilitating #climateaction. #PreCOP26 #GST ➡New article: https://t.co/N6QHSqhRAW

@aditimukherji Thank you to 🇩🇪,🇬🇧 & @UNEP for nominating me for this important task! Looking very much forward to working with the @IPCC_CH Working Group II Co-chairs @bart_vd_hurk & @winstontlchow & the team at the Technical Support Unit and fellow authors from @GRI_LSE

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

Delighted to be selected as Coordinating Lead Author (CLA) for the #IPCC 7th Assessment Report (#AR7) to co-lead the Technical Guidelines for Assessing #ClimateChange Impacts & #Adaptation. These guidelines will play a very important role in advancing adaptation worldwide. (1/x)

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

@aditimukherji In co-leading the development process I'll draw from 15 years of work on adaptation in academia, policy, and international development + a decade observing the #UN climate change negotiations incl. on the #GGA and many scientific & practical publications: https://t.co/e4CXcVIqAg

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

Delighted to be nominated as Finalist for @ESRC 's Celebrating Impact Prize 2024! A recognition of my long-standing work on translating research into policy, especially at the #UN #climatechange negotiations. More of my work & publications @GRI_LSE : https://t.co/DrWz5sU2aU

👏 Congratulations to Dr @TimoLeiter for being a 2024 Celebrating Impact Prize finalist!

The prestigious @ESRC prize is an annual opportunity to recognise the success of ESRC-funded researchers in achieving & enabling outstanding economic or societal impact from their research.

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

@Env_Pol @MariaJernnas I need to reject the statement that I would not believe that ideas articulated during the negotiations matter – they do! In fact, I wrote that an analysis of Parties’ submissions “can yield useful insights into the politics and ‘terrains of contention’”: https://t.co/TTm4X1b8vw

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

The Bonn #climatechange negotiations #SB60 saw a lot of attention on #NDCs. Importantly, as a governance instrument NDCs rely on strong #transparency mechanisms. I've outlined five recommendations for research on NDCs in this new piece in @Env_Pol #UNFCCC

[Environmental Politics @Env_Pol]

Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) as a governance instrument – accounting for politics, negotiation progress, and related mechanisms under the Paris Agreement

Really enjoyed co-facilitating the 2024 #Adaptation Forum of the #UNFCCC about collaboration & action toward achieving the Global Goal on Adaptation (#GGA). Recording & presentations: https://t.co/ylNsWnksl1 Thank you to the Secretariat team & to my co-facilitator @cristina_rdr !

[Adaptation Exchange by the NWP @AdaptXChange]

The 10th Annual #Adaptation Forum by the Adaptation Committee on 18-19 March focused on actionable solutions to advance the global goal on #adaptation🌱🌍 Lear more here: https://t.co/gZxbPuRclu

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

@Josh_Gabbatiss A $-figure in the text on the Global Goal on #Adaptation was not a realistic prospect since that is negotiated in the parallel finance items. For further insights into the GGA negotiations, see my LSE commentary: https://t.co/TjUTB1wrkX

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

During my @LSEPhD I published numerous journal articles (including in @Env_Pol), chapters in @ESG_Project & in global environmental assessments from @IPCC_CH & @UNEPCCC, UNFCCC submissions with @GRI_LSE, & reports with @NAP_Network & @giz_gmbh. Full list: https://t.co/0ktRyOwJKD

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

Just in time for #COP28, I’ve completed my *PhD*🎓at LSE on assessing implementation progress of #adaptation to #climatechange! It’s been a very exciting five years including contributing to the #IPCC Sixth Assessment Report & as lead author to @UNEP's Adaptation Gap Report (1/x)

[LSE Geography & Environment @LSEGeography]

Congratulations to @TimoLeiter for successfully defending his viva earlier this week! 🎉

#partofLSE @LSEPhD

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

@UNEP @GRI_LSE My PhD has been informed by participant observation at the #UNFCCC negotiations since 2015 and hugely benefitted from my former job in @giz_gmbh's #climatepolicy team including leading support for national adaptation planning #NAP in #Tanzania (3/x)

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

@UNFCCC What researchers and analysts should know about #NDCs - five recommendations: https://t.co/TTm4X1b8vw

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

@schipper_lisa I am going! I've been co-facilitating three workshops on the global goal on #adaptation (#GGA) this year at the invitation of @UNFCCC. There is a role for experts at the science-policy interface at #COP28. It also informs my research e.g.on #NDCs @Env_Pol https://t.co/TTm4X1b8vw

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

#NDCs are at the heart of the #ParisAgreement. What's their role in the Paris architecture and how do we account for implementation? Here's a summary of the five recommendations for NDC analysis from my recent article in @Env_Pol : https://t.co/TTm4X1b8vw

@AliceVadrot @CambridgeUP @ESG_Project @hanshare @ERC_Research @maripoldata @betsillm @JenIrisAllan @YuliaYamineva @MatPaterson @NoellaJGray @univienna @JenniferBansard Indeed great to present our book at the Earth System Governance conference #ESG2023 ! I featured it in the session on #climatepolicy with fellow book authors @JenIrisAllan & @MatPaterson in the room. Chapter on experiences of studying #negotiations: https://t.co/NX9QTVGXIU

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

@schipper_lisa As I am emphasising in my review article of the adaptation negotiations: "the potential and limits of international law for governing a strongly context-specific subject matter need to be considered": in Carbon & Climate Law Review 2022: https://t.co/8hxB5LyKq2 #adaptfutures2023

[Timo Leiter @TimoLeiter]

@schipper_lisa Thanks Lisa. Indeed, we need to interrogate the purpose of a global #adaptation framework and the diverging expectations around it and ask: How can it be useful without causing unintended side effects? What are the limits of a global framework and what role does it have? #GGA
