I met with a group of teenagers yesterday. One of their teachers had suggested that I talk to them about career paths because they're all anxious about exams, university choices and future work. Instead of talking to them, I listened, and the actual problem was very different.

New research published in Nature today finds that we are on track for climate damages worth $38 trillion per year by 2050. This is a staggering figure. The damages are projected to be worth 6x more than the mitigation costs of limiting global warming to 2C. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Depressing, important and sadly unsurprising - excellent paper which has wide implications including for the burgeoning biodiversity offset/credit market
Thomas Frederick Johnson@T_F_Johnson

New in @Nature, we show that commonly applied approaches have failed to accurately represent global trends in biodiversity. So what's the problem and what's the solution? nature.com/articles/s4158…

Visitei hoje o local onde a COP30 deve acontecer em Belém. Ótimas discussões com o gov. @helderbarbalho e diretores do @energygovuk, @DefraGovUK e @FCDOGovUK sobre soluções em clima, florestas e transformação ecológica que melhorem a vida das pessoas e apoiem o sucesso da COP30.
