How do societies choose how to respond to climate change? Through science - but also driven by complex dynamics of power, money and attention. In this #OpenAccess perspective in #npj Climate Action, we develop one systematic way of disentangling & measuring these dynamics. doi.org/10.1038/s441...

They also invited 7 ECRs to reflect on papers published in NCC that had a personal impact on them and their careers. I may be biased - but think that's a great way to reflect on *impact* & what that slippery thing actually is... Thanks for having me, @natclimate.nature.com rdcu.be/fc3O0

The journal Nature Climate Change recently had it's 15th birthday - and 'celebrated' by reflecting in stunning visuals how climate change has changed in its lifetime. www.nature.com/immersive/s4... @natclimate.nature.com

Since Nature Climate Change was launched 15 years ago, not only has the journal itself changed but so have the subjects of studies they publish on the Earth system and how societies interact with it. @natclimate.nature.com highlights how the world was different then: spklr.io/63328EJtK8

If you like disentangling complex system dynamics, have a read! doi.org/10.1038/s441... Writing this was a fun journey across disciplines (& their different dialects) with Kirsty Nash, @sarahlawless.bsky.social, @lucy-rhm.bsky.social, Marleen Schutter, David Bellwood, & @proftiffanym.bsky.social

Not long to go now! In just over three months, I'll travel to Vienna to join the first cohort of interdisciplinary scientists at ViCAS at the @univie.ac.at! Can't wait to connect, be inspired, consolidate ideas, eat Sachertorte, and enjoy such an amazing city!

WOW!!! Congratulations to the authors on a timely and important perspective on how we move forward in coral reef conservation. A must read 🪸🐠

"MIMO" is the result of a collaboration that fundamentally changed my career path. Super grateful to my coauthors, @proftiffanym.bsky.social & David Bellwood, the editors at @cp-cellrepsustain.bsky.social & the 4 reviewers, who's "constructive friction" has been a glowing example of peer review!

Doh!

“Without robust governance, we risk repeating past mistakes—implementing ‘solutions’ that are ineffective, inequitable, or even harmful”. phys.org/news/2025-07...

Researchers are warning that the rapid emergence of novel ocean-based climate interventions has outstripped the capacity of governments and communities to respond appropriately. 👩‍🔬🌊🌏 Read the full story here 👉📰 bit.ly/45tSWnb

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Published today in Science: “The pace of new interventions is outstripping the capacity to prevent unintended consequences - because governance systems are not yet in place.” Stop the cowboys before they do even more damage!

🌊 Governing novel climate interventions in rapidly changing oceans Our climate interventions are rapidly evolving, from seaweed farms to engineered coral. However, governance is lagging, and without proper oversight, we risk trading one crisis for another... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Protecting existing coral reefs MUST be our priority. A message that's been voiced several times before by @profterryhughes.bsky.social and others, but one that we should not lose sight of. My short 'News&Views' piece in @natureecoevo.bsky.social Link: tinyurl.com/2jfskntd

This piece covers the new paper by Mula et al. in @natureecoevo.bsky.social "Restoration cannot be scaled up globally to save reefs from loss and degradation" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper: Climate interventions in oceans are popular (e.g. marine restoration, bioengineering & mCDR) but bring social risks. We find foresight and mgmt of such risks are constrained by methods, public engagement & expertise. Governance reforms urgently needed www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
