"A whole civilization will die tonight", llamadme quisquilloso, pero para mí que un dirigente con arsenal nuclear disponible suelte algo así ya sería motivo suficiente para cortar todo tipo de relación diplomática y denunciar en todos los medios, canales e instituciones con extrema urgencia.
In this new paper we introduce the idea of "symbolic power" to show how it affects environmental decision making and environmental values. We refer to symbolic power as the ability to influence what people accept as legitimate, credible, or simply as common sense.

Study shows that planned expansion of renewable energy poses increasing (co-occurring human-induced) threats on terrestrial biodiversity, especially in areas where species are heavily affected by human activities. This implies the need for careful land-use planning.

Berri oso ona: Ehergia erakundea sortu da. Euskal Herriko komunitate energetikoetatik abiatuta eta autokontsumotik haratagoko saltoa emateko bokazioa duen ekimena da. Energia trantsizioa behetik, kooperatibismotik eta udaletatik, sustatzea beharrezkoa da. euskalerriairratia.eus/nafarroa/177...
As a Chief Editor of an academic journal in the field of sustainability I take this as a very serious issue and makes me and the journal to continuously protect a fair and transparent research-to-publish process. Upholding scientific integrity is also a way to fight many forms of denialism. 👇👇
El “pragmatismo climático” empieza a parecerse demasiado a una coartada para aceptar el programa del capital: desregulación, libre comercio y rearme. La transición verde no puede construirse contra la igualdad y sin crear conflicto. zonaestrategia.net/un-progresis...

Great to see this is a strong MEP team. A key challenge will be to turn such multi- to inter-disciplinary vision in all @ipbes.net led global initiatives. Having experienced being MEP member, I know the new MEP members have a great opportunity to engage in cross cultural and epistemic pluralism.
historical oil demand vs secnarios
On the second fossil fuel crisis of this decade (and likely to be worse than the last, fair to say), a few small thoughts
First: global oil demand would be so much lower without climate delay, fossil corruption, oversized SUVs, western overconsumption. Everyone who pushed these holds responsibility

An analysis of 4 million academic documents reveals major blind spots in sustainability research. Much of this research focuses on technological solutions but pays too little attention to the role of civil society, the public sector, and financial actors, the study finds: buff.ly/eHrdPgz
The NYT style guide
Researchers have developed an Ocean Equity Index to measure how fair ocean initiatives are across 12 criteria.
The tool can be used by governments, companies and Indigenous or community groups, and its authors hope it gains global traction.
Experts note equity remains difficult to quantify.
"Thinking through the implications of 4C warming shows that the impacts are so significant that the only real adaptation strategy is to avoid that at all cost because of the pain & suffering that is going to cost. There is no science on how we are going to adapt to 4C warming" @neiladger.bsky.social
Important new @worldresources.bsky.social research shows that agricultural expansion isn’t only leading to forest loss - it’s leading to loss of grasslands, savannas, & wetlands too.
From 2005-20, the 🌎 lost 95 Mha of non-forest natural ecosystems to annual crops, and another 95 Mha to pasture. 1/
