🚨Less than one in 12 African cities is covered by more than one piece of climate change research, and many are completely absent from the evidence base altogether, with major implications for climate assessments. A hugely significant study from @efesce.bsky.social and colleagues, in Nature Cities.
Informative & timely report on working conditions in Belgium's 'platform economy' (ride hailing, food delivery, etc.)
By @valepuligna.bsky.social, @claudiamarat.bsky.social and others.

An informative and graphic card explaining what the fairwork project does. The text reads: Fairwork evaluates the working conditions of companies in the digital economy and ranks them on how well they treat their workers. Ultimately, our goal is to show that better and fairer jobs are possible. We focus on: Location-based platform work (like food delivery, ride-hailing, and domestic work); Cloudwork (or online remote work like filling in surveys, translation, and web development); AI (like warehouses where AI is deployed and data labelling centers); and Online sex work (like camming, escorting, and content delivery).
👋Hi! We're #Fairwork, an action research project known for developing groundbreaking insights about the plight of digital workers in 39 countries across four continents. Through rigorous research, we show that better and fairer jobs are possible.

Hello friends. Lovely to find you here.
A mainstay (some might say expert) on the UNFCCC and UN chemicals and wastes discussions.
I research to inform policy, I speak to help foster evidence based discussions. Let's chat.
So great to see more and more climate experts (like Jen) joining us! Definitely give her a follow!
