SPHERE (Study of the Planetary Human-Environment Relationship): The Rise of Global Environmental Governance is an ERC research project based at @kthuniversity
How did the entire planet become a governance issue? The SPHERE project seeks to write an integrative history of planetary-scale environmental sciences and politics since 1945. Follow us here for continuous updates!
excellent analysis of current situation by @JeppeKofod who managed the first Greenland crisis in 2019 when he was Denmark’s foreign minister https://t.co/6dbwEUvPTf
just published by @cambUP_History book I co-authored on Stockholm’s central role in evolution of global environmental politics & science over past 70+ years. Print & Open Access download available at https://t.co/FodBDtc6fD
Is Russia’s geological reseach in the Weddell Sea legitimate scientific activity, or a pretense for oil and gas prospecting in Antarctic waters? And what does this mean in the context of the Antarctic Treaty? Analysis by @klausdodds on new podcast episode: https://t.co/GerWyXsyeT
Can Antarctica serve as a model for governing outer space? No, really.
@ianbremmer joins @polargeopol to discuss how the Antarctic Treaty could provide a precedent for the governance of outer space.

@ianbremmer pres & founder of @EurasiaGroup & @gzeromedia joins podcast to discuss polar geopolitics, influence of climate change on future of Antarctic governance & the example #Antarctica can provide for governance of #OuterSpace https://t.co/CefVzUB4Xg
before climate records could be broken, temperature data had to be collected across centuries and around the world to construct global average temp—the basis of @UNFCCC climate policy. @isbergerik & @ericpaglia explain the origins of political temperature https://t.co/1QLhTnov1l
Listen now to the first episode of EHL's re-launched podcast Intervention! With guest James Dunk, acting EHL director @AdamWickberg_, and podcast host @ericpaglia, in a conversation on Planetary Health.

Saddened by the passing of Prof. Will Steffen, a pioneering Earth system scientist and extraordinary science communicator. Here he is explaining the global environmental importance of Antarctica https://t.co/4QjN0PWRYW
Extremely sad news that the pioneering Earth system scientist and incredible science communicator Will Steffen has passed. More than anyone, Will popularized and explained the #Anthropocene concept. I had the great privilege of interviewing him many times
