Currently at a panel featuring WRI, LifeStraw, Xylem and Millenium Water Alliance that is focused on the existing state of carbon-financed water resiliency work globally. Pretty impressive and generally unheralded health outcomes to date - but so much opportunity for growth! #climate#water

Spent 5mos away from bsky but ready to get back at it - any other climate folks at World Water Week in Stockholm this week?

Happy World Water Day to all who celebrate - we just published the report ‘Decarbonizing Water’ here: static1.squarespace.com/static/63ffa...

So how’s this place holding up as an unwalled garden

We’ve got to decarbonize water - 10% global emissions are from the water sector! I was part of a team writing a report getting introduced at COP28 tomorrow, here’s info: “Unlocking Voluntary Carbon Market Investment in Resilient Water Systems: A High-Impact Dialogue."

Never stops making me mad every time I see it: if we had begun the process of eliminating fossil fuels in the 1990s, it would've been a relatively shallow curve. Climate deniers and delayers have put us in a position where the same temp limits require a cliff-like drop in emissions.

As a fan of both vinyl records and climate action, I endorse this graphic!

The title says it all.

I have been writing about climate change for 15 years and this year I have been experiencing more deeply disturbing cognitive dissonance than ever before

One thing I think not enough people know is that the US is the biggest oil producer in the world and this year, eight years since the Paris Agreement was signed, will be the biggest single year for US oil production in history. 2024 will break that record.

Major Fossil Fuel Producers Are Likely to Blow Past Climate Change Targets

Countries including U.S., Russia, and China are set to blow past production goals in spite of pledges to reduce fossil fuel dependence.

the world will need some really expensive, but *inherently uncertain* infrastructure-scale projects to solve climate change. can companies sustain the support to build them? fascinating @emilypont.bsky.social profile of a company that’s trying to do just that:
