I was on @BBCNews talking about the impact of #StormBert on my local community in South #Wales🏴
"It's so important that not only do we phase out fossil fuels, we must actually also massively now invest in climate adaptation... we need to see that from the government right now"

I think this time around the resistance will be local.
We’ll march and protest, but even more important, we’ll get to work protecting our neighbors and working together to keep making progress on the issues that matter most.
Here’s what we can do on climate 🧵

Call for papers for #BISA2025.
For particular attention of climate researchers, but open to all, if these questions resonate.
I'm organising a panel with @ProfJohnBarry on the role of research in a world of multiple crises.
Please email me an abstract!
ALT Researching in a world on fire: what are we doing? This panel is a reflection on the role of academics in a world that is facing multiple crises. Participants share an interest in rethinking research and teaching to overcome the multiple, overlapping harms that academia perpetuates. To that end, papers accept that the current research model is harmful, and look to explore alternative ways of teaching, researching, engaging with people, and travelling in the context of climate change and global injustices. We are interested in papers that explore and complicates questions along the lines of: 1. How can research be decarbonised? 2. What is the relationship between decarbonisation and decolonisation? 3. How can teaching better reflect the world as it is? 4. Can the academy be decarbonised? 5. How do the pressures of academia perpetuate harmful practices, and can we resist them?

I was delighted to be invited to speak to @BristolBioSci earlier this week, where I made the case for responsible scientific activism in an era of planetary emergency.
I've decided to post my slides, so buckle up this is going to be a long thread🧵1/n

My paper that is coming out soon* is about why massive climate events in the 'First World' still won't lead to mitigation action.
The colonial, masculine fantasy of invulnerability is too definitive.
*accepted 11 weeks ago and counting.

Labour is going to take a lot of flak from usual suspects over its stance on new coal, oil, and gas mines, but the simple fact remains that if we are to stop global warming spiralling beyond 2C with all that entails we need to stop burning fossil fuels. businessgreen.com/news/43345…

The joy of #communityactivism to help restore nature. This event is being organised and run by volunteers along the river. They are motivated by witnessing the decline in biodiversity and water quality but also by the desire to restore it back to its full glory #saveriverteifi

Important report by an important organisation.
Yesterday we produced a report on where we think Wales is with the Water Framework Directive (WFD).
All waterbodies at good status by 2027? With only 44% currently achieving that, there's no chance!
However, it’s @NatResWales legal duty to ensure these targets are met.
