Climate Change and the Arts
I have worked in arts and culture for 15 years wearing a range of hats from producing projects to developing audiences in different countries. More recently, reading for an MSc in Gender and International Relations and working with organisations focused on social justice, activism, human security, women’s empowerment, conflict resolution, the environment and social enterprise, my appreciation has galvanized for cultural diplomacy and the importance of addressing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Climate change thwarts Canadian climate change study
A $17-million research expedition to study the impact of climate change in Canada’s Arctic was halted off the coast of Newfoundland, and ultimately cancelled earlier this month, when an icebreaker carrying the 40 scientists was diverted to break up hazardous sea ice that floated south, due in part to climate change.

Climate change is causing sea turtle eggs to cook in the sand
From the very second sea turtles are born they are in a fight for survival. After they dig their way to sand’s surface they must beware of every predator and every obstacle in their path to the cool ocean waters. In fact, only an estimated one in 1,000 sea turtles survive into adulthood. And now it appears humans have caused one more obstacle for these tiny creatures, even before they hatch.

Of the 186 countries assessed in a recent survey of climate vulnerability, Chad was rated most in peril. A combination of high poverty, frequent conflicts, and the risk of both droughts and floods means the central African nation is bottom of the list, just below Bangladesh and some way behind Norway, the country least vulnerable to climate change.

Mic ghid de urmat în conversațiile cu prietenii despre schimbările climatice
Cu atât mai mult acum, când Donald Trump a decis să retragă SUA din Acordul Climatic de la Paris privind schimbările climatice, poate ar trebui să fii mai atent la discuțiile despre efectele acestora pe care le ai cu prietenii tăi la o bere, la restaurant sau oriunde se mai ivesc ele. În caz că poate ai dat și tu la un moment dat de persoane care, la fel ca Trump, spun că schimbările climatice nu există, Grist propune câțiva pași pe care să-i urmezi pentru a avea o conversație productivă.

Climate agenda is not just about global commitments, it directly impacts people's lives: Patricia Espinosa
The United Nations’ climate chief Patricia Espinosa is no stranger to challenges. As foreign minister of Mexico she presided over the 2010 UN climate change talks in Cancun, bringing countries back to table, rebuilding their confidence in the multilateral process after the failure in Copenhagen the year before. Now, with the United States on the brink of pulling out of the Paris Agreement, Espinosa is facing another challenging moment, this time as the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Urmi A Goswami spoke with the climate diplomat about India’s efforts to address climate change, the future of the Paris Agreement and the plan to slow down global warming.
