It’s just too bad. But let’s keep a cool mind and think how to approach the US collapse more constructively. let’s transfer key climate research teams and institutions to Europe and build from there. We must ride this wave. 🌊 🌍09 Mar 2025 12:16 +0000at://did:plc:7gvh4rppsoehae72cs7tl6be/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljwze3pej22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/carlagomes.bsky.social/post/3ljihvfsnuc2qWe definitely need a more balanced approach AND to maximise synergies between mitigation and adaptation, plus biodiversity.

Four years of intense interdisciplinary collaboration, across six European regions, for a sustainable water future💧.

It is still playing second fiddle to mitigation everywhere, including, decades after, at the COP. It just does not look “markety” enough. We will rather end our “civilisation” than move on from the limited imagination of short-term profit.04 Feb 2024 11:54 +0000at://did:plc:7gvh4rppsoehae72cs7tl6be/app.bsky.feed.post/3kklo3gihjs2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/carlagomes.bsky.social/post/3kfxoqnsvus2kClimate & communication people out there: I am looking for experts on the frontlines of digital technologies (VR, 3D, etc) who are innovating on communication about climate change scenarios and extreme events.
