🚨 BIG NEWS - *US National Adaptation Strategy* TODAY was transmitted to UNFCCC. That's right - the US has a National Adaptation Plan! unfccc.int/sites/default/… #climate #adaptation #UNFCCC #RebelScienceAlliance

@hannahfluck This is amazing! Do you take commissions? 🤩

Rather pleased with my latest crochet creation. Inspired by 'persian tiles' pattern by Janie Crow.

At 2nd Ministerial Dialogue on Culture-Based Climate Action held in #Baku I called for inclusion of a cultural workshop request in the final conclusions of #COP29. This will pave the way for the much-needed adoption of a Joint Work on Culture & Climate Action Decision at #COP30.

A pleasure to join @WorldMonuments’ @DrMWiggins at the @ICCROM @ackhistory Int’l Training Course on Climate Action for Sustainable Built Heritage & present on the heritage elements of the Global Goal on Adaptation #GGA & the @Future4past Heritage Adapts to Climate Alliance #HACA

👏👏👏👏👏

I know people are leaving Twitter, but the algorithms also seem to be mysteriously (or not so mysteriously) working against some of us. I know that some followers of mine have somehow automatically unfollowed me (without them doing that), and that my posts are hidden or buried. I like sharing science, archaeology and a bit of humanism here. I still enjoy the conversation. So if you can help me find my old followers again by RTing, I will follow you back.

Absolutely massive congratulations to @ClimateHeritage for securing $1.5 MILLION for global climate heritage projects! Cannot wait to see what happens next!

@EveningStandard A fascinating story, and I only scratch the surface of the main building - The White Tower - rather than the wider castle complex. Now in the safe hands of @HRP_palaces (and those ravens!)

@schipper_lisa I did a little happy dance when I saw this!

It will never stop blowing my mind that in our current system decarbonization will happen only if it's profitable. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

‘Through archaeology we can challenge the use of imagined ‘wild’ pasts & understand that this ‘emptiness’ is a modern phenomenon created through unjust ‘improvements’ Archaeology can help put people back into the frame of a landscape’ 👇 digitscotland.com/a-people-less-…

Liberated from taking anything to survive, what happens is smart and ambitious people, as well as smart enough and ambitious enough people, go about freely looking for opportunities they otherwise would not have the time or economic security to pursue, much less consider. Not complicated. Most human beings want to make something of their lives.

Place based tech, stress tested by time, and dynamic, like these houses, have always been our best (and only) hope. Billions of $ spent to undermine their cultural and material essence is at the heart of our colonial and capitalist present. #disasterjustice #pacific

“We’re challenging the concept that bad things have to happen, that species have to disappear, people’s homeland has to be severely degraded, before there’s a recognition that there’s been damage,” said Andrea Carmen, IITC insideclimatenews.org/news/02122023/…

This is the 'Volkswagen 2015' moment for the #COP28 Presidency.   Caught red handed, the COP Presidency has no other option but to now unequivocally step up the transparency, responsibility and accountability with which they lead the process. [1/2] bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
