How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

Paris shows what’s possible when cities prioritise people over cars 🚲

As Dr Audrey de Nazelle notes, what’s often missing isn’t solutions, it’s courage.

A decade of bike lanes, greener streets & bold leadership has transformed how Parisians move.

Turning science into action with BES Fellows, Dr Caroline Howe and Niru Dorrian

What does it take to turn ecology into real-world impact? 🌍

In this episode, Dr Caroline Howe (CEP, VP of the BES) and Niru Dorrian (UN Ocean Decade Ambassador) share their very different journeys to becoming BES Fellows, and a shared passion for turning science into action for conservation 🎧

The strategic role of systemic transition intermediaries: A cross-sector perspective on voluntary standards for net zero The transition to net zero requires coordination across public, private and civil-society sectors. Systemic transition intermediaries play a central r…

The authors don't think this tension can be resolved. Instead, they look at ways to tackle it in the wider voluntary standards sector. Read more: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @smithschool.ox.ac.uk @oxfordgeography.bsky.social @granthamicl.bsky.social @oxpolicyengaged.bsky.social

Instead, they encourage moving beyond narrow psychological framings and codesigning research, measures, and policies with people most affected by climate change.

They conclude that the lived experiences of young people are far more complex than terms like eco‑anxiety can capture.

Eco-anxiety: how do young people relate to the climate crisis? New research questions the “eco-anxiety” label and whether it really encompasses the complexity of the emotional, mental or physical distress young people feel over the planet’s woes.

Eco‑anxiety: how do young people relate to the climate crisis?

In @uk.theconversation.com, @drdaniellawatson.bsky.social and Dr Emma Lawrance @climateoxford.bsky.social review evidence on young people’s experiences and awareness of the climate crisis 🧵

However, careful choices about locating land-intensive carbon removal may avoid negative impacts and could even provide biodiversity benefits.

Based on current plans, land-intensive carbon removal strategies would take place in up to 13% of global critical areas for biodiversity.

In @theconversation.com @rubenpruetz.bsky.social, @joerirogelj.bsky.social, Sabine Fuss and Gaurav Ganti write that carbon removal strategies may conflict with biodiversity conservation in many instances: for example, planting trees and energy crops in pristine ecosystems such as savannas.

Large-scale removal of carbon dioxide is necessary to achieve the Paris Agreement, however many strategies land-intensive carbon removal plans threaten biodiversity, new research shows 🧵

Planting trees to remove carbon can harm the environment – or protect it: study highlights trade-offs Carbon removal strategies may conflict with biodiversity conservation, but careful choices could bring benefits.

🌍 Cutting carbon emissions isn’t enough – we also need carbon removal. But planting trees or energy crops at scale can clash with biodiversity.

Careful planning is key, says Professor @joerirogelj.bsky.social and colleagues. 🌱

Easter Eggflation bites as prices soar by two-thirds New research shows dramatic surge in price of chocolate eggs: comment

"Easter Eggflation bites as prices soar by two-thirds"

Research by @wwattribution.bsky.social has shown that dangerous levels of heat and drought in southern West Africa, which produces around 60% of the world’s cocoa, have been driven by climate change:

Guest post: How declining cloudiness is accelerating global warming - Carbon Brief How the decline in global cloudiness affects the Earth’s “energy imbalance” – the difference between absorbed solar energy and heat radiated into space.

Learn about cloud cover and climate change in Dr Paulo Ceppi's blog post for Carbon Brief: buff.ly/WfHn0bC

New research finds that the decrease in cloudiness over the past two decades has been primarily driven by human activity 🧵

This decline in global cloudiness has disrupted the Earth’s “energy imbalance” – the difference between absorbed solar energy and heat radiated into space, which results in global warming 🧵

⚠️ Declining cloudiness is accelerating global warming

Clouds act as the Earth’s “sunscreen”, they keep the climate cooler than it would otherwise be, however over the past two decades they are on the decline...🧵
