🔸Today, we celebrate the World Press Freedom Day, which this year highlights the significance of journalism and freedom of expression in fighting global warming. On Readly, you find several renowned publications with an extensive climate coverage, across climate science, engineering and nudging inspiration - to investigative pieces on societal impact, corruption and current affairs. When pursuing climate stories, some reporters are sadly subject to trust-undermining disinformation or outright threats. We can support them by reading and subscribing to quality journalism. Here are my reading tips for the day: - New Scientist on how global warming affects food prices and inflation. https://lnkd.in/dHdzAX-n - Newsweek about (among other things) Narendra Modi’s climate agenda in the world’s most populous country. https://lnkd.in/ds5RbTpC - BBC Science Focus about a new watchdog satellite that may revolutionize how emissions are tied to their point of origin. https://lnkd.in/dc8HY6py

In Long Problems, Thomas Hale outlines political strategies for tackling #climate change and other “long problems” that span generations. Climate change and its consequences unfold over many generations. Past emissions affect our climate today, just as our actions shape the climate of tomorrow, while the effects of global warming will last thousands of years. Yet the priorities of the present dominate our climate policy and the politics surrounding it. Even the social science that attempts to frame the problem does not theorize time effectively. In this pathbreaking book, Thomas Hale examines the politics of climate change and other “long problems.” He shows why we find it hard to act before a problem’s effects are felt, why our future interests carry little weight in current debates, and why our institutions struggle to balance durability and adaptability. With long-term goals in mind, he outlines strategies for tilting the politics and policies of climate change toward better outcomes. This pathbreaking book is now available.

Can we avoid maladaptation at all? This opinion piece responds to the question of whether or not we can avoid maladaptation, and what must be done. The impact of climate change especially in developing economies has called for heightened global attention to tackle climate change. Yet, amidst the urgency to address climate change, emerging literature shows that existing climate change adaptation strategies have the potential to be counterproductive, further worsening the vulnerability of already fragile and vulnerable communities. Indeed, maladaptation cannot to completely avoided, but it can be substantially minimized. Achieving this requires a strong collaboration between science, policy, and practice interface. https://lnkd.in/ecaJUi7h
