Please see the thread below for new research highlighting the human cost of war in Yemen! We updated our previous analysis through 2021 and modeled recovery scenarios. By @taylorlhanna @dkbohl and me in collaboration with our colleagues @UNDPYemen: ye.undp.org/content/yemen/… 1/

Amid converging global crises, the world remains dangerously unprepared for shared risks. But we are not powerless. The first-ever @UN Global Risk Report sends a clear message: our future depends on global cooperation to address these threats. unglobalriskreport.org

Our topical collection on social science & sustainability technology, edited by Leaf Van Boven & myself is out. Intro here: link.springer.com/article/10.100… Papers here: link.springer.com/collections/fa… Great contributors incl. @maxboykoff @moyerjonathan @GernotWagner @SGonzalezCoffin & many more!

📢New Research A #sustainable-development-oriented world may trigger changes in the geopolitical landscape & spark new international conflicts @moyerjonathan @josefkorbel cell.com/one-earth/full…

🚨New research🚨 A #sustainabledevelopment pathway could cause #geopolitical instability via multiple transitions in regional & global power @moyerjonathan calls for sustainability scenarios to better integrate #internationalrelations as drivers of change cell.com/one-earth/full…

The IRA has the potential to significantly reduce US emissions, as @JesseJenkins, @JEBistline and others have shown. In a new @NatureClimate paper, we discuss the supply, demand, and polarization challenges that could get in the way. 1/ nature.com/articles/s4155…

Using new data on the 90 largest service-provision INGOs, @moyerjonathan, @austinsmatthews, J Evans, J McPhee & W Kettlun, explore how these alter aid strategies based on security conditions, finding that threats may limit the amount & types of aid bit.ly/gini-new @isanet

You can’t love your neighbours with bombs.

@PhilippeThomazo @vietkrmpzh @robespiegle What’s wrong with the population projection in figure 3?

@vietkrmpzh @robespiegle (Rien que la figure 3 sur les projections de population ne colle absolument pas avec les projections mise à jour... Ses prévisions d'augmentation massive de l'extrême pauvreté plaide par contre pour la non faisabilité).

Ça y est, on va avoir des politiques natalistes. Ce qui explique aussi le temps de latence pour l’inscription du droit à l’avortement dans la constitution.

Great discussion. Thanks to @adrianshahbaz and @StaffanILindber for making the trip to Denver, and to @josefkorbel @UofDenver for organizing a fantastic summit. #DenverDS2023

This year’s insane heat has coincided with (perhaps driven?) a bit of a wedge between two leading “climate urgency science narratives”… 🧵

.@moyerjonathan et al.: "How many people will live in poverty because of climate change? A macro-level projection analysis to 2070" Stay tuned for the rest of the collection, coming soon! 2/2

@sorin_cristescu @mtaa324 @RogerPielkeJr Consuming doesn’t mean they’re finite

@moyerjonathan @mtaa324 @RogerPielkeJr That's ridiculous. Food is not going to "end", Malthus was proven wrong. Aside from energy, "consuming" makes nothing disappear. Services are not going to disappear because we consume them! These "resources" are not "finite" for Pete's sake 🤣

New paper argues that degrowth doesn't save the climate but kills 10s of millions of people by 2100 Can we just stop with the degrowth nonsense? nature.com/articles/s4159…

@lone_pine_games I’m not sure I follow your point

@moyerjonathan Why are they out of order?

Can we talk about the legend on these charts?

🚨IMPORTANT PAPER🚨 @moyerjonathan published one of the first globally quantitative estimates for #degrowth emission impacts and health outcomes. READ👇👇👇

@sorin_cristescu @mtaa324 @RogerPielkeJr You consume food, materials, energy, housing, infrastructure, services, ICT, transportation, on and on and on...

@mtaa324 @moyerjonathan @RogerPielkeJr What "resources" do we "consume" ? We consume energy which we use to transform matter.

@HMcJeon But these don't do much to change the long-term socioeconomic costs. My conclusion is that degrowth remains very important as one component of policy strategies to address the balance between development and climate impacts. It's a messy-middle-path approach.

@HMcJeon But then you have the problem of pretty terrible socioeconomic outcomes, even with dramatic transformations in social policy. I tested eliminating military spending, increasing cash transfers significantly, and making the world as equal as Albania.

@moyerjonathan is there a new paper you want to tell us about?!?
