Thanks all for sharing🌳4C's exciting opening for a Research Assistant to evaluate carbon project impact! Working link to the advert here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/42998/
🌳#ResearchOpportunity! Join us to fight for a greener future.🌿We're looking for a Post-Doc to quantify the impact of forest restoration in Brazil. Partnering with @trustedcarbon and re.green 📢Apply jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/42667/: #ClimateResearch #EnvironmentalScience
The closest I can get - for now at least. Thinking of friends so near but so beyond reach. This, too, will pass.
You'll remember the investigation by @guardianeco into forest carbon credits? Today a group of academics working in this space published a letter in Science highlighting the threat that lack of credibility in forest carbon credits poses to forests. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Looking forward to participating at this event.
If you've been following the (somewhat heated!) discussions about the quality of forest carbon credits kicked off by @guardianeco investigation, this panel will interest you. I'm looking forward to an open & informative discussion. Great panelists who really know their stuff

Want to contribute to the future of landscape regeneration in the UK? An exciting opening for a postdoc in the Conservation Research Institute at Cambridge working with Andrew Balmford and fantastic colleagues at the RSPB @Rich_B_Bradbury @CCI_Cambridge jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/38821/
“We can't prevent catastrophic #climatechange w/o a step change in forest conservation and we can't stop #deforestation w/o real financial flow into the system.” Our @Tomswinfield on why we focus on #carboncredits in support of efforts to #decarbonise. 4c.cst.cam.ac.uk/news/spotlight…
I’m with Sandi
Can relate…
Job alert 📢We have 2 openings for research assistants at the Cambridge Centre for Carbon Credits. We want to build a diverse team, so don't be shy, apply... or DM me to find out me. 4c.cst.cam.ac.uk/news/hiring-re…
Q: When I raise the #ClimateCrisis in everyday discussion I am met by a wall of silence. Why do people feel uncomfortable having it pointed out? How can we normalise these important conversations?
Done deal: @UNBiodiversity #COP15 to be moved from Kunming 🇨🇳 to Montreal 🇨🇦. Will take place 5 - 17 December. Official announcement tomorrow or Tuesday. Phew!
I'm looking for high resolution data on per capita income to evaluate psotive impact of benefit transfers. Any ideas? #hivemind

I'm so impressed by the depth of this investigation by @guardianeco. I'm a co-author on one of the research papers they draw on & they've done such a thorough job (thread....)
NEW: Forest carbon offsets approved by the world’s leading provider and used by Disney, Shell, Gucci and others are largely worthless and could make global heating worse, a new investigation finds. With @hannahknuth , @herrfischer & @lukewbarratt 👇👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…
Fantastic to speak with @AndrewMarr9 on LBC about our carbon offsetting investigation
I couldn't agree with Julia more; we're working in @trustedcarbon to leapfrog the credibility gap of additionality claims via remote sensing, but there remains much work to be done on questions on livelihoods and the impact of these projects on local inhabitants.
On balance however, sunlight is the best disinfectant & the clear failures in the forest carbon credit world revealed so expertly in the recent investigation need addressing. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Interesting interview on how to protect forrests, nature and wildlife with @Tomswinfield highly recommended read.
“We can't prevent catastrophic #climatechange w/o a step change in forest conservation and we can't stop #deforestation w/o real financial flow into the system.” Our @Tomswinfield on why we focus on #carboncredits in support of efforts to #decarbonise. 4c.cst.cam.ac.uk/news/spotlight…
So, so proud to see @Beibei__Zhang’s first PhD paper out today @Biotropica! In it we explore how logging and subsequent forest regrowth alter not just the number and size of tropical forest canopy gaps, but also their spatial configuration and geometry. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bt…

Hoping for the best. But, as we’ve seen before, the reprisals can be terrible. The irony is that we saw this stuff at the end of the Shah’s despotic rule and it led to this regime. A vicious, long-term circle. Time for REAL self rule. Free Iran.
This is incredible - Iranians are fighting back like I’ve never seen before.

Incredible we have to revisit this discussion again. No, calling for individual action by the privileged is not a deflection strategy that serves big oil, in opposition to achieving systemic change, or a key cause of climate anxiety! ft.com/content/7135e4…
I'm just emerging from a month-off from Twitter so I could focus on research, and this is the post that cropped up! Removing twitter from my phone and mostly using it on the desktop seems to be a sweet spot -- I love following the feed but it's overwhelmingly distracting as well
I do not have “magical” discipline and focusing ability — I struggle with distractions like everyone else. Often it is better to just remove the option to distract yourself instead of fighting he urges. When I decided to get serious about my AI work, I made a few changes: \
I love this - if only we treated nature with the respect something that affords such peace and beauty deserves
Amazing! This is what conservation scientists, meeting in #ECCB2022_Prague, think is the value of nature! Mainly beauty, peace, life, diversity, health, calmness and well-being. Great talk from Eszter Kelemen @IPBES. Monetary and instrumental values are hardly seen here
