Future mineral demand can be met without #deepseamining.
We need to urgently transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, but not at the expense of untouched, biodiverse deep #ocean ecosystems, which are also significant carbon sinks. Read here 👉https://t.co/ZXUzUuYXaf

We need to invest in technological innovation and #CircularEconomy for a green transition so we decrease the material bottlenecks for the growth of low-carbon technologies. Read more in our new report: https://t.co/2RgGdJghGw

How much does oil use need to go down in a 1.5°C scenario, with no or low overshoot?

According to IPCC SR15 scenarios, ~20% from 2020 to 2030 & ~60% to 2050, where I have selected scenarios most consistent with history.

IEA to 70% in 2050, probably since less use of CDR.

@ThomasGibon Regardless of carbon neutrality... Are they really mentioning the UN Sustainable Development agenda?

@ThomasGibon That's too close to home

@sieravercillo @JuliaAngelenPR @greenprofgreen @JKSteinberger Where I'm from (Brazil) every child with 2 parents on the birth certificate gets at least two last names (one from each parent). Sometimes more, I think it's up to the parents (I know people with 3 last names and that's not weird)

Remarkable numbers.
I think the last 20% will be hard, but it is fleet share that really matters in the end, so even holding new sales in this range for the next few years has a big impact.

Sad days for Brazil. It's hard to be positive about #climatechange #mitigation while the #AmazonForest burns. The climate and environmental policies in Brazil have been destroyed. I wish that Bolsonaro's gov effects will be just a short nightmare, and not BAU scenario from now on

Smoke from wildfires in the #AmazonRainforest spreads across several Brazilian states in this natural-color image taken by a @NASAEarth instrument on the Suomi NPP satellite. Although it is fire season in Brazil, the number of fires may be record-setting: https://t.co/NVQrffzntr

#ClimateAction is not a threat to jobs, our new study shows. #Employment gains in most countries due to spillovers from cleaner technologies are higher than losses in "dirty" sectors. However, job losses and creations are not necessarily in same place https://t.co/MWfmXpP249

@IcelandFoods We tried modelling the global biodiversity impacts of the shift between different vegetable oils https://t.co/9oz6G8mnGX Increased use of palm oil has a significant impact on biodiversity loss, but soy is very high as well #palmoil #soy #environmentalfootprints @indecol @TheIIOA

@e_stebb And when you plot your results and get weird things that should not be there, and you can't find where in the code or data is the mistake

[Moana Simas @moanasimas]

@LizyLowe @TimDoherty_ @jamohanlon I constantly-ish check my GS ans Scopus citations count. GS also includes working papers and reports but sometimes they double count publications. I had to write to Scopus to ask them to put some citations they missed that I found on GS. took them over a month to correct it.

We should dream of, discuss, and eventually fight for a different publishing system for sustainability research. I compiled a few ideas of how this publishing system could look like and what the benefits and costs of change might be. New blog entry under https://t.co/28Y5BVuieB
