1/29. 📜NEW BRIEF: Today we launch “PASSED THE POINT OF NO RETURN: A Non-Economic #LossAndDamage (#NELD) Explainer” covering what #NELD is, why and how it happens, where it happens, who is most affected, and importantly, how we can respond.

2/29. The brief begins with a foreword by @UNFCCC NELs Expert Group Member @IrfanUllahCDO, who highlights that Non-Economic #LossAndDamage has been largely overlooked in climate negotiations and that urgent action is needed to address #NELD happening now e.g. The #PakistanFloods.
3/29. Then @DLodry of @LossDamageYouth shares the powerful story of his lived experience of Non-Economic #LossAndDamage in #Cameroon called "The Tears Of A Village River And Its Population" which tells how climate-intensified #Drought can lead to a loss of #Culture and #Identity.
🧨🧨Part III of the soon-to-end thread: Why is adaptation more than risk management & climate proofing? Why are measuring approaches such as indicators not going to capture progress?
TLDR: What is implemented as 'adaptation' is not going to help people adapt to cc.

Part II ended ▶️ vulnerability was not the focus of most adaptation projects by the mid/late 2000s. Karen @cCHANGE_OBrien et al's paper on Contextual vs Outcome Vulnerability helped demonstrate the consequences of these different views on vulnerability 2/ tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
Scholars addressed the idea of sustainable adaptation in a Special Issue in @ClimDevJournal in 2011, including in the seminal paper by @sirieriksen7 et al 'When not every response to climate change is a good one' 3/ doi.org/10.3763/cdev.2…
Petit fil sur la manière dont est appréhendée l’adaptation au changement climatique dans les scénarios « Transition(s) 2050 » de l’@Ademe. transitions2050.ademe.fr Cela fait un moment que je voulais partager les qqs éléments que j’y ai picorés (sélection très subjective) (1/21)
Rappel du contexte: en novembre dernier l’@Ademe a publié ses scénarios « Transition(s) 2050 » qui dessinent 4 chemins contrastés vers la neutralité carbone en France. Chaque scénario associe les résultats de la modélisation à un récit cohérent, décliné dans chaque secteur (2/21)
Plusieurs « feuilletons » thématiques viennent éclairer des aspects spécifiques de ces débats sur les futurs possibles. Parmi ceux publiés récemment – un porte tout particulièrement sur les enjeux d’#adaptation (3/21)
I've been asked by many journalists about the concept of #maladaptation in the new #WGII #IPCC report out last week. Since this is a topic that I have been working on for a while, here comes a brief thread with a bit of history and some resources for further insights 🧵👇🏼
Unlike some claims, maladaptation is not a 'new' concept for the #IPCC. In fact, in my 2004 PhD I cite #WGII's Third Assessment Report - chapter 20 by Smit et al is the place to go for that background. Bob Kates and Tony Oliver-Smith are others who have written on #maladaptation
Maladaptation in its most basic form refers to when adaptation strategies go wrong ('mal'). This means that people become more sensitive or exposed to climate change such as closing off opportunities for income-generation or creating new hazards. ++ examples below, 1st reading👇🏼
The IPCC Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability was released today. I'm going to go through the executive summary and post some "highlights". #IPCC #IPCCReport

- #Dengue risk will increase with longer seasons and a wider geographic distribution in #Asia, #Europe, Central and South America and sub-Saharan #Africa, potentially putting additional billions of people at risk by the end of the century
- A billion people projected to be at risk from coastal-specific climate hazards in the mid-term under all scenarios, including in Small Islands. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency
