How much carbon can we emit while limiting warming below 1.5°C? It was very little and now it's even less. In a new paper in @NatureClimate we update the @IPCC_CH carbon budget numbers with improved methods and new data. (1/n) nature.com/articles/s4155…

@ErikaCoppolaE @NZazulie @ictpnews Good luck on yet another ICTP workshop Dr. Coppola!

Started yesterday in Kigali the #ICTP workshop on High Resolution Atmospheric Modeling Many interested students will work all the week with #regionalclimate models to complete a small project. @NZazulie Lu Chen, Francesca Raffaele, Graziano Giuliani @ictpnews #climate

Learn to estimate #flood and #coastalerosion risks under a changing climate at our short #course on Flood and Coast Erosion Risk Assessment. Partial #scholarships available. Apply by 20 Oct. More info: un-ihe.org/courses/on-cam… Expand your 💧 network and join the #IHEcommunity!

Climate Change in Data: The Physical Science Basis has been shortlisted among the 25 projects competing for the Rebecca Ballestra Award, honoring top global initiatives raising climate change awareness 🧵1/7 ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1… @CmccClimate

Global air temperatures remaining much higher than normal for the time of year. And El Nino is only just starting. We expect to see more devastating extreme weather events, especially in Australia, South America & Asia in the coming months. Graphic: @CopernicusECMWF

Coastal impacts of sea level rise are not limited to inundation of low lying coastal areas (i.e. permanent flooding). Sea level rise will increase the frequency of extreme sea levels and associated episodic coastal flooding and coastal erosion. @ipcc @deltares @ihedelft

What can satellite data do for you? 🌊🛰️🌏 Our new paper offers ideas on how coastal communities could use satellite data to dynamically adapt to sea level rise. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @bhamlington, @daverounce, @R_Collini, @Lijnonline, @bobkopp, @scripps_climate et al.

Analysis by NASA of high-resolution climate projections concludes that, if global temperatures keep rising and reach 2C above pre-industrial levels, people worldwide could face multiple impacts of climate change simultaneously, with serious consequences. climate.nasa.gov/news/3278/nasa…

@IPCC_CH The IPCC is targeting energy production in the west, while ignoring China - solid evidence that this has nothing to do with climate, and everything to do with hurting western countries. ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual…

Current policies make it likely that #globalwarming will exceed 1.5°C during the 21st century & make it harder to limit warming below 2°C. #IPCC's Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action. 👉 bit.ly/SRYRpt23

Over 9,000 scientists told us about how they use the social-media platform now known as X. More than half of respondents have reduced their time on the platform, and 7% have stopped using it altogether go.nature.com/3sftDEr

The @iaeaorg's Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme is now open. Apply early for funded spots in the MSc in Water and Sustainable Development (Oct 2024). Scholarship deadline: Sept 2023. More info: un-ihe.org/news/early-msc… #womeninstem #ihedelft #scholarships #studyinNL

Post Doc opportunity in Denmark for a climate modeller interested in extremes. Apply before 10 September. efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

We should never forget that low lying island states #sids face an existential threat from climate change. Precisely why we should take ambitious #ClimateAction and not sink into despair. We have agency! @adelle_SIDS is there to remind us in #IPCC .

@OulaAmrouni So when do I get to visit one of these beaches @OulaAmrouni ?😉

There is no doubt: Tunisia Sandy Beaches are the Best 🏖️🇹🇳 #GharElMelh #SidiAliMekki #Bizerte

#IPCC wraps up elections in Nairobi 🇰🇪 During a four-day meeting held at @UNEP HQ in Nairobi, the Panel elected its new Bureau to lead the IPCC through its seventh assessment cycle. Check out the new team here 👉 bit.ly/IP59PR

The Aquatic Ecosystems Research Group of IHE Delft is looking for motivated candidates with a keen interest in applied aquatic ecology for supporting livelihoods and sustainable lake management science in the global south. DEADLINE 6th Sept. join.un-ihe.org/vacancy-public…

@RobertVautard @IPCC_CH My heartiest congratulations Robert! Very very proud of you! All the best!

🔊🚨Finally! Out this week in @CommsEarth our paper shows that as sea-level rise accelerates due to climate change, its multidisciplinary field of science has similarly expanded over the last 3 decades. A🧵on how this research came about and what we found. nature.com/articles/s4324…

Recent research shows that long-term global changes in ocean wave conditions have not produced measurable recession of sandy coastlines. unimelb.edu.au/newsroom/news/…
