Fresh ideas are emerging: The Maldives is designing an innovative debt-for-resilience-building mechanism that links debt relief directly to progress on climate resilience.
Under this mechanism, countries can secure debt forgiveness or interest reduction by meeting pre-agreed milestones in resilience-building investments

More than half of the children born in 2020 will face unprecedented exposure to heatwaves over their lifetime — even under a conservative projection for how climate change will unfold over the next 75 years.
Under a more pessimistic forecast, that figure rises to 92%, compared with just 16% of those born in 1960.
The extra warmth we’ve experienced raises obvious questions about the influence of human-caused climate change. The warming signal is clear and it’s a sign of things to come

The ConversationIt’s almost winter. Why is Australia still so hot?Why is it so warm across southern Australia this autumn? Where’s the rain? ‘Blocking’ high pressure systems are to blame, but the real culprit is climate change.
The study included lasagne, chilli, curry and teriyaki meals, with the meat-based dishes using beef or chicken, meat-free versions using vegan mince or Quorn, and whole-food plant-based meals employing vegetables, tofu, and lentils.
In all cases, the whole-food plant-based meals “consistently outperformed” their meat-based counterparts on cost, sustainability, and nutrition

Uhhh... I have a small question:
What happens if someone fucks that up?
Is this not massive hubris?
Why don't we just wean ourselves from #fossilFuels?
This idea we're going to parasol the sun instead... seriously?
Nobody is doing a risk-reward analysis here an elementary school kid could raise issues with?

Oil giants are abandoning the energy battlefield, redirecting profits to shareholders.
Major oil companies are not just quitting renewables—they're retreating from energy growth entirely. Rather than investing in future production, oil majors are now diverting more than half of their cash flow to shareholders, a withdrawal that signals "the future of energy is being built around them, not by them."

As part of its ongoing pivot to solar, Zambia’s Ministry of Energy has cut the approval timeline for solar energy projects from over six months to just 48 hours. The move is aimed at attracting swift private sector participation and fast-tracking the country’s renewable energy transition. #solar #renewables #Africa #climate #ClimateChange #environment #zambia

Yale e360As Drought Shrivels Hydro, This African Nation Pivots to SolarAn unprecedented drought has lowered reservoirs in hydropower-dependent Zambia, leading to economically crippling blackouts and spurring a push for solar. With multiple utility-scale arrays now in the works, the country is betting on solar to increase its power capacity by a third.

@f800gecko Well, the pigs are squealing, so that's a hopeful sign. Also, I think #PopeFrancis wanted him as his successor. He served in the US & Peru until two years ago, when he came out of nowhere and rapidly shot up the ranks in Rome. They share the same heart for the poor and #ClimateChange.The last Pope Leo was in many ways ultraconservative, but also made remarks about the working class that you might think were made by a commie if you didn't know any better.

To all those people who probably either muted or blocked me, insisting that it was crazy to re-localize farming or sustain a city on local farming, well guess what?
I think it should be said that if this is entirely possible and it builds resilience and indeed helps decouple us from the energy intensive economy that’s burning the planet down and massively reduce the amount of renewables we need maybe we should be doing this.
Land use is climate change.

Five Patagonian Lakes Are Rapidly Drying, Study Shows.
