The What Works Climate Solutions network aims to bridge the gaps between researchers, policy, funders and users of evidence working towards climate justice #GES2024 @WWCS_summit

Update 2024 signalled @WWCS_summit as a breakthrough event in supporting how we use evidence to address societal challenges. @EvidenceComm co-leads share why the summit surpassed expectations & can influence the @IPCC_CH Seventh Assessment Report youtu.be/uv3BIVEyfdo 🧵1/7

Building on the inaugural WWCS Summit, we are happy to launch the WWCS Community, a collaborative space that exists for scientific exchange around high-quality evidence synthesis on climate policy evaluation. Join the WWCS Community: jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-jis…

Final word goes to Jan Minx #WWCS2024 focusing on what we should all do next - does your next project contain an evidence synthesis workstream? @WWCS_summit

The inaugural @WWCS_summit took place this week to advance the science on #climatesolutions. I am honoured to have moderated, hosting: - 335 registrants across 50 countries (all world regions) - 210 presentations, 44 sessions, & 10 keynotes&panels #WWCS2024 📸: Tina Eichner

Thoughts from the closing panel @WWCS_summit #wwcs2024 ‘The time for talk is over - we need action now’ ‘synthesis needs to provide clear, actionable answers to funders, decision makers’ ‘scale, speed and quality of evidence to address climate change is needed’

The #WWCS2024 is coming to an end... but not quite yet. Join us for the next and final panel now on the future of evidence in climate solutions whatworksclimate.solutions/stream/

The Sahel has become a net carbon sink since the 1980s because of bringing back traditional agroforestry practices. But policies don't recognise the value of these as #naturebasedsolutions. A powerful talk from Chekh Mbow @WWCS_summit nature.com/articles/s4155…

The map helps to identify evidence gluts that can synthesised, and gaps that need filling with primary research - including is Ying the need for more robust research designs @WWCS_summit #wwcs2024 @pilesofsquid

@WWCS_summit 🌎🌲Panel highlight: Emphasising the need for integrating predictive models to meet the real-world outcomes to light the way to net-zero emissions #WWCSS2024

Interesting keynote by @lavisjn and Yeonji Kim on the role of @SDGSynthesis live now at #WWCS2024

“There will be no sustainable development without solving the climate crisis and solving the climate crisis will only be successful if wider development goals are met” John Lavis discussing @SDGSynthesis work sdgsynthesiscoalition.org @WWCS_summit #wwcs2024

Exciting panel this morning!

"Evidence synthesis is key to informing the global goal on adaptation process" @Tabea_CA now live at the #WWCS2024

"The boundary conditions are very important but they need to be complemented by evaluations to be useful for policymakers" @tavoni_massimo kicking off Day 3 of the #WWCS2024
