- Is there a ‘Goldilocks zone’ for climate anxiety? @drdaniellawatson.bsky.social from @climatecares.bsky.social spoke to the BBC to explore what climate anxiety really means, why it’s rising, but also why climate anxiety is a rational response to the world we live in 🧵 buff.ly/VZq3NqZ
- This week biodiversity experts, academics and policymakers have come to Manchester for one reason: biodiversity. Specifically, they’ve come to #IPBES12 to set the global agenda for how businesses measure and integrate nature into their plans 🧵
- Countries' carbon dioxide removal plans pose substantial threats to biodiversity, new research reveals. Analysis by the scientists shows that up to 13% of global areas of high biodiversity importance are allocated for land-intensive CDR deployment. 🧵
- The study also reveals a similar tension in the opposite direction: under strict enforcement of the internationally agreed Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, more than 50% of land allocated for CDR deployment could become unavailable.
- The authors argue that climate refugia, areas relatively unaffected by climate change, and biodiversity hotspots are both at risk. The study also found that non-high income countries have a disproportionately high land allocation for forestation in climate refugia areas.

- Climate change and La Niña combine to create ‘perfect storm’ in deadly Southern Africa floods. New research from @wwattribution.bsky.social shows that the intensity of heavy downpours has increased by 40% since preindustrial times, with some areas receiving over a year’s rain in just days 🧵
