At 2nd Ministerial Dialogue on Culture-Based Climate Action held in #Baku I called for inclusion of a cultural workshop request in the final conclusions of #COP29. This will pave the way for the much-needed adoption of a Joint Work on Culture & Climate Action Decision at #COP30.

A fascinating story, and I only scratch the surface of the main building - The White Tower - rather than the wider castle complex. Now in the safe hands of @HRP_palaces (and those ravens!)

It will never stop blowing my mind that in our current system decarbonization will happen only if it's profitable.

‘Through archaeology we can challenge the use of imagined ‘wild’ pasts & understand that this ‘emptiness’ is a modern phenomenon created through unjust ‘improvements’
Archaeology can help put people back into the frame of a landscape’ 👇 digitscotland.com/a-people-l…

Liberated from taking anything to survive, what happens is smart and ambitious people, as well as smart enough and ambitious enough people, go about freely looking for opportunities they otherwise would not have the time or economic security to pursue, much less consider.
Not complicated. Most human beings want to make something of their lives.

Place based tech, stress tested by time, and dynamic, like these houses, have always been our best (and only) hope.
Billions of $ spent to undermine their cultural and material essence is at the heart of our colonial and capitalist present.

“We’re challenging the concept that bad things have to happen, that species have to disappear, people’s homeland has to be severely degraded, before there’s a recognition that there’s been damage,” said Andrea Carmen, IITC insideclimatenews.org/news/0…

This is the 'Volkswagen 2015' moment for the #COP28 Presidency. Caught red handed, the COP Presidency has no other option but to now unequivocally step up the transparency, responsibility and accountability with which they lead the process. [1/2]

Does anyone understand the logic of these payments? If you restore and manage species rich grasslands you are worse off than if you plough it up and plant a herbal lay?
Why would anyone bother?
Where are the more ambitious stackable grassland options?

"At the time of writing [atmospheric CO2] is 422.36 parts per million. That is 5.06ppm more than the same day last year. That rise in 12 months is probably the largest ever recorded – more than double the last decade’s annual average."

@Claireburgo & I write about our #Maladaptation research 👇🏽
“To be just, climate adaptation requires a counter-intuitive approach. It should prioritise community wellbeing and examine the risks posed by both climate change and adaptation”
