Now tweeting as PhD researcher at the IoZ @ZSLScience! Thank you to everyone I worked with @CPRE, I've gained invaluable insight into the world of environment policy - insight I very much plan on incorporating into my research career... I'm now lucky enough to start working

It's day 6 of #COP28 and a new global stocktake text dropped overnight.
Reminder: this is the Paris Agreement reality checkpoint that will affect countries' NDCs up to 2040.
Here's what it says on fossil fuels/energy package:
Last night the dome at COP28 was lit up with the shapes of nature. Nature is more than something pretty to look at, it’s clean air, water, food - essential to our survival. Yet we’re still waiting for it to be valued in policy at COP28. How long until all we have left is lights?
A surreal morning exploring the COP28 conference site in Dubai. Really grateful to @UniofReading and @WalkerInst for the opportunity to be a delegate at such an important event

Have we messed up the marketing of the greatest challenge in history?
“climate change”
“climate crisis”
“climate emergency”
None of these names tells a relatable story about what’s going on.
Great marketing makes every receiver feel smart.
Do you feel smart?

Homemade irrigation “system” for my tomatoes! Feeling pretty chuffed with myself. Now to see if it actually works…

The UK bursting full of amazing wildlife, but today and throughout the year we can all do our bit for nature.
Myself, I’ve made sure that the shared garden in my flat block is taking part in no mo may!

How are we going to hold government's to account on their promises following COP15? The Living Planet Index provides us with tangible way to track progress. A piece I wrote for @UniRdg_Research. research.reading.ac.uk/resea…

As a decision on granting permission for a new coal mine in Cumbria looms, some facts:
- 85% of coal produced would be for export, not domestic use
- two major UK steel producers won’t necessarily use much of the coal, not least due to its composition and sulphur content
Today is the first of the two Solution days at #COP27. Attention begins to turn to the progress made and how we move forward from the conference... One key question is how the most vulnerable are part of the climate action process - those who are facing the worst of CC right now

Check out our latest blog on #climate #finance day yesterday at #COP27 - was the elephant in the room actually addressed?

COPCAS students consolidating their thoughts from today just before starting their blog 👋 # cop27
Global finance ministers now discussing how we are going to fund climate investment. ~$600 billion per year currently mobilised, but if we want to keep the 1.5 degrees alive, we're looking at needing to channel $2.5 trillion PER year by 2030 #COP27
The scale of the climate finance challenge is staggering #COP27
@f_spooner @dannielle_roche @Shammi_ter @WalkerInst
The UK government could take a tip out of France’s book here. Such ambitious climate focused schemes could regain us some respect on the world stage… #COP27

Thank you @KevinkevinMtai at #COP27 for chatting to us at the @WalkerInst. The global north need to act on the climate loss and damage the global south is suffering now @LossDamageYouth.
