University of California-UNFCCC

The University of California @UNFCCC observer organization has a new news and info website. If you're student/faculty/staff in the university system, we invite you find out more about getting involved in #COP28 & other international climate negotiations: scripps.ucsd.edu/uc-cop

The latest from #sb58 in this dispatch by @UofCAHealth’s @arianneteherani and @supersaps. Nature-based solutions aren’t just for slowing #climatechange. Remedies like wetlands restoration and urban tree planting are a win for human health too. health.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/perspecti…

The #OceanPavilion co-organized by @Scripps_Ocean and @WHOI will be back for @COP28_UAE. Follow our website oceanpavilion-cop.org for updates on programming and other pavilion activities.

Scripps biological oceanographer @LlevinAnn will speak in the #SB58 side event: ‘The GST & Ocean-based Carbon Dioxide Removal: opportunities, uncertainties, risks & future needs,’ covering ocean #CO2 removal.

The @UofCalifornia is representing at #SB58 in Bonn. From @UofCAHealth comes this behind-the-scenes look at what is going on from @arianneteherani and @supersaps: health.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/perspecti… #climate #PublicHealth

Excited that our paper "Global expansion of sustainable irrigation limited by water storage" that we published last year in @PNASNews was featured in @StanfordWoods "Environmental Research - 2022 Year in Review" report. A great team effort with @RjpSchmitt woodsinstitute.stanford.edu/system/files/p…

Extraordinary radar imagery of yesterday's coastal storm w/ two centers of rotation combining at landfall over San Fran to produce banded rainfall and strong winds. While likely not w/o precedent globally, this likely won't ever happen again in our lifetimes over coastal CA.

Experiencing #climateanxiety or curious about this emerging topic? Tune in Mar. 7 when UCSB's Climate Convos club hosts a panel discussion w/author Sarah Jaquette Ray & LaUra Schmidt, founder of @GoodGriefNetwk, on paths toward a positive climate future. bit.ly/3wXZ1X1

A great account by @zhonggg in the @nytimes of what's next for @Scripps_Ocean's #keelingcurve and the heroic efforts by @NOAA and @uhmanoa to keep the record going at #maunakea. nytimes.com/2023/02/06/cli…

Here is a fantastic model illustrating the protective role of mangroves (from the exhibit hall of #AGU2022). Will keep it in mind for lectures on sea-level rise mitigation.

Misperceptions and low quality information result in polarization when agents learn from shared news---Now forthcoming @QJEharvard!! Huge thanks to co-authors Simone and @Danil_Dmitriev7 (on the market this year!) drive.google.com/file/d/122BwGL…

#COP27 has defined a way forward on a decades-long conversation on funding for addressing loss and damage. Let’s use this success as a springboard to restore trust in our process. Let’s use it to achieve greater ambition and faster implementation.

Older generations and the affluent have enjoyed the feast afforded by a #fossilfuel-based economy for a century, but younger generations, the poor, and people of color are picking up the tab. Watch a powerful presentation from @SERCBerkeley at #COP27: youtu.be/n-XoEZbWJcE

Away from #cop27, the world's 4th largest economy announces this with renowned @scripps_ocean climate researcher Ram Ramanathan providing the science perspective: gov.ca.gov/2022/11/16/cal…

As week 2 of #COP27 begins, let me remind negotiators that people & planet are relying on this process to deliver. Leaders asked for action. Let’s use our remaining time in Egypt to build the bridges needed to make progress on 1.5, adaptation, finance and loss & damage.

Tune in Thursday to the webcast of the inaugural Ramanathan Climate Conversation on climate resilience in South & East Asia featuring @scripps_ocean's own Ram Ramanathan. Hosted by @theNASEM. Details here: bit.ly/3eKrA4M

On #Decarbonization Day at #COP27, Scripps Oceanography students helped spread the word about “Bending the Curve: Climate Change Solutions,” a popular @UofCalifornia resource for educating the next generation of climate leaders.

Happening now at #COP27: Scripps Director @Leinen4ocean discusses how universities are driving innovation during a session on the blue economy. @UCSanDiego-led efforts include seaweed cultivation to help curb methane emissions from cows, eDNA for fish stock assessments & more! 🐟

All in all, a nice closing event for our penultimate day at #COP27  @Scripps_Ocean @AnelaAkiona @oliviaspereira @michelleguri @dnsalcantara

Big day at the #COP27 Ocean Pavilion! 🌊 Supported by @ForumSEC, the first session today featured perspectives from reps & advocates of small island developing states at the forefront of climate change, including @JohnKerry, @ThomsonFiji, @TepaeruHerrmann, @henrytpuna & more.
