"If we're serious about solving the #climate & #biodiversity crises, & not just swapping one problem for another, we need global mechanisms that take seriously the opps for joint solutions." Will we 'cop on' or 'cop out' of integrated action? @y_buckley irishtimes.com/environment/cl…
"We need to move away from a focus on just relaying facts. We need to involve communities in our ongoing discussions, keeping the greater good in mind and not just the vested interests of industry." @AnnaRDavies #Climate #Biodiversity #JustTransition #ActNow
🌍 Join us on Oct 24 for a special #InternationalClimateActionDay event! 🎓Top academics will discuss how research in engineering, botany, geography, & more is shaping climate policy & solutions. 🔗RSVP now to be part of the conversation - us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… #ClimateAction

"We have immense potential to act effectively & the research community has a real desire to work collaboratively. But we need 'interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary research', & not just the sciences. This is not overly radical - other countries are taking such action." @climpeter
A science vision for Ireland… with emphasis on climate-biodiversity research and being enabled by the right form of AI @climpeter @Researchirel @ucddublin irishtimes.com/science/2024/1…
Is carbon pricing #ethical? 🤔 #proudsupervisor New #systematic lit rev in @Climate_Policy w/ Jeanne Magnetti and Bert Gordijn 👇 doi.org/10.1080/146930… 1. Carbon #taxes are the least controversial pricing mechanism ✅ 2. Good #design can address most concerns 💡 1/2
I'm honoured to be appointed by the Irish government to Ireland's new #JustTransition Commission. Looking forward to working with Commission chair @AliJSheridan and the rest of the Commission to advise government on how to make Ireland's climate transition fair & inclusive.
The Government has approved membership of the new Just Transition Commission. The Commission will have a key role in advising and supporting the Government to ensure a fair and just move to a climate neutral economy. Read more here: gov.ie/en/press-relea…
COP16 on biodiversity is as crucial as climate COPs. Healthy ecosystems regulate climate, store carbon, and enhance resilience to extreme weather. Let's push for ambitious targets to protect 30% of land and sea by 2030! #COP16 #Biodiversity2024 #30x30
“The only way we can start to address mass extinction is if we have more humility in our relationship as part of just one other species in the web of life. We have lost that bedrock of pro-nature values…We need to restore that so we don’t have this casual attitude to ecocide.”
“Biodiversity loss looks complex, but at the end of the day, it comes back to life. As we lose biodiversity, it’s essentially losing parts of ourselves as human beings as well.” theguardian.com/environment/20…
"Recently, a paper by Professor Goran Dominioni of the School of Law at Dublin City University has attracted #widespread #attention in the industry." Great to see my latest paper with @petit_christy in #XindeMarineNews xindemarinenews.com/m/view.php?aid… Full text: doi.org/10.1017/err.20…
