For me, this geeky data table is essential for #ClimateWeekNYC

#IPCC's analysis of climate solutions x all 17 #SDG's - health, education, security, economic stability etc.

Darker the blue, the better the correlation between climate action x wellbeing.

That's a lotta blue.
For those looking for the source - it’s in Chapter 5 of IPCC AR6 Working Group 3 report from April 2022.

Here’s the link ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3… and the graph in context with full references

So, is everyone working in sustainable lifestyles/behaviour change on the edge of your seat for IPCC WGIII AR6 SPM 5A????
Because you should be.
Section '5A' of the #IPCCreport is the bit dealing with 'demand side' reduction. And we're all the demanders (aka 'consumers') along with all the organisations that actually use/consume everything. Image
Demand reduction hasn't figured in a big way before in #IPCC reports - especially reducing demand for high carbon goods/services/utilities from consumers. But in the new report - we might all have a role to play.

What can we do with this #COP26 Cover Text beyond the UN process?

1 - ram that phase out of fossil fuel subsidies down the throat of every investor, every insurer and the financial markets. Stranded assets in oil, gas and coal are about to become ‘toxic assets’.
2 - start the pressure TODAY for bigger, better, stronger NDCs next year. We are now in a one year not five year cycle. Campaigners, funders and all of us need to switch to prepping demands ASAP
3 - start speaking about a Loss & Damage Facility as an inevitability - the most affected people and areas require nothing else. Model it, propose structures and even name it. Make it real.

Climate change feels overwhelming. From the sea literally on fire to devastating floods on land. It's breathtaking, and heartbreaking and can be hard to go on.
Stop. Take a breath.
And remember...
Most of the suffragettes never got to vote.
Most early LGBT+ activists never got to marry
Most civil rights activists never saw the first black President.
Inventors of electricity died by candlelight.
These people dedicated their lives for a better future they never lived in...
If you're fighting, working, sweating and trying to solve our climate crisis, you may never see the better world you're trying to build.
That's not how change happens.
It happens because people decide to fight for better KNOWING they may never see it....

1/ There's an environmental metaphor for what's happening right now, explained to me by arborist Sir Tim Smit.

It's called 'death flowering' and it happens when an old tree is diseased and rotting from the inside.

Suddenly, that dying tree will burst, even out of season, into
2/ excessive flowering and fruiting. Or it will suffer from 'epicormic growth' of messy buds and branches on its trunk elsewhere.

The diseased tree is throwing up flowers and fruits as a desperate last attempt to breed and continue itself
3/ the 'death flowering' tree might briefly look healthy and impressive, but it's core is rotten and all the colour and growth burns up the last strength the tree actually has.

It can take years, but the tree is doomed and the death flowering is because it knows it

After more than 2 decades working on climate, sustainability and social justice I’m getting more hopeful and optimistic. Why?

1 - because I rarely have to explain those words anymore (when I started I was asked if ‘biodiversity’ was a type of washing powder)
2 - because there are SO MANY people (especially young people) working, marching, inventing and changing what they can, and sometimes what everyone thought they couldn’t
3 - most big brands have finally realised they might be victims of climate and social breakdown and have decided to do something about that
