That time back in 2023 when we warned the authors of the UNFCCC's Global Stocktake that complete erasure of any reference to the social and cultural enablers and and barriers to 1.5° pathways was a fatal flaw. #GSTCultureGap #ClimateHeritage #GlobalStocktake

We had the pleasure of visiting the Rock of Cashel this week on a family trip and seeing first hand the conservation and monitoring work happening in Cormac's Chapel. We were luck enough to arrive at a quiet time and get a tour of the site. #climateheritage #climateiretage

Trump doesn’t want you to know that climate change is causing the disappearance of Glacier National Park’s glaciers but he can’t hide it for long: recent science re-confirms that by 2030, the Park “will no longer really have viable glaciers.”

"It didn’t take long to identify the core blockers: policy & financial disincentives (20% VAT on reuse the most obvious one) ... Underlying all of this is a deeper problem: the heritage value of everyday buildings & civic places is profoundly underestimated"

The Court: “It is not disputed that by 2050…low-lying areas of Bonaire will most likely be inundated [where] Bonairean cultural heritage are located…Nevertheless there is still no climate adaptation plan in place for Bonaire, nor is there an integrated climate adaptation policy.” /2 #ClimateHeritage

My carbon emissions swamp your heritage sites. Your displaced persons need homes where I live. Tackling climate change requires concerted global action. As the US govt works to undermine international cooperation on climate & culture, it falls to the rest of us to fill the #climateheritage gap.

In advance of Feb’s @ipcc.bsky.social “Workshop on Engaging Diverse Knowledge Systems,” a case in point.
"This project was special because it brought together [Yirrganydji] knowledge with scientific research, .:: and it produced stronger data & a study more relevant to everyone."

This sounds like a really great project from @aliph.foundation and @wwfkenya.bsky.social!

This is great work. But, as @climatecentral.org acknowledges, their estimates do not yet include costs related to damage to ecosystem services or cultural heritage. The IPCC recognizes these as key areas of climate costs. Let’s work together to get these costs counted! @ucs.org
#ClimateHeritage
Excellent thread. I would just note that values are inextricably linked to culture & heritage. Cultural actors are a potentially potent but sometimes overlooked partner in this coalition. @climateheritage.bsky.social is working to fix that. #climateheritage
