We are pleased to see that our new policy on fossil fuel funding is attracting attention. Hopefully, it will encourage others to take action too. More details coming soon #ClimateChange
Fossil fuel industry funding ruled out by UK university department: York environment department adopts policy “important to students” despite collaboration with Brazilian oil company. (£) @YorkEnvironment

Read our new paper just out in PNAS ow.ly/I4FU50PqmJL highlighting the substantial food welfare benefits of ozone pollution mitigation in India. Policy needs to ensure farmers don't lose out as prices fall within increasing yields and supply @YorkEnvironment @CCACoalition

It hit 49C (120F) in Iran Today! Parts of India are hitting 46C (115F). The Arabian Sea is practically boiling. #CycloneBiparjoy is hitting 105 mph and about to hit land. This is at 1.3C over - How long before this whole region pushes the absolute limits of human survivability?

Reducing methane is critical to sustaining food security. Rice farming is responsible for around 10% of agricultural methane emissions, and also suffers from global warming. Alternative farming methods can use less water and reduce methane emissions. tinyurl.com/2p9cvtam

We're live from Bangkok with the 4th and final day of the #CCAC2023!
We need to slash #methane dramatically to stay below 1.5. That's why the US and the EU launched the Global Methane Pledge in Glasgow at COP26. Hear from country representatives directly: bit.ly/CCAC2023LIVE
Introducing the forthcoming 'cost of inaction' assessment.... a massive effort by @CCACoalition to estimate the cost of NOT acting on air pollution AND climate change. A key aspect will be how to get a handle on the political barriers to implementing adaptation and mitigation.
Can support for the informal waste recycling sector in Africa help reduce short lived climate pollutants and also improve human health for sector workers? @CCACoalition @KevinHicks_SEI #CleanAir
Dr. Chris Malley @SEIresearch highlights the importance of implementing NDCs. In Nigeria, implementing the NDC will see 30,000 fewer people dying from air pollution in addition to benefits of reducing climate change. Great session at @CCACoalition meeting in Bangkok.
Have been looking for 'environment' book recommendations just like these 🙏. Time to get reading 👀...

At our last Scientific Steering Committee meeting, we discussed having a way to pair up IGAC members or others that have air monitoring equipment to donate with scientists or others that could use said equipment (especially in data poor regions). Is this of interest?

Ozone concentrations exacerbated by methane cause loss to agricultural productivity and exacerbate food insecurity. - @embersonL #cutmethane #FastClimateAction
