Hemos sobrepasado 7 de los 9 límites planetarios

Pero, ¿todos contribuimos igual a este forzamiento?

➡️Mientras que los países más ricos y de renta media sobrepasan varios límites, los países más pobre (42% de la población mundial) están dentro de todos los límites.

🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher. Out TODAY in Nature Climate Change: the first systematic look at the science of "health impact attribution" 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change," a brief communication in the journal Nature Climate Change. There's a map showing regions of the world, and pie charts of relevant studies as they apply to different health impacts like "heat-related deaths" and "maternal and child health"

This is the face of a recalcitrant toddler about to have a meltdown. Or that of a spoiled teenager who's never been told, "No."

Screenshot of RFK Jr's face puckered up like he's about to spit out that brain worm. Or - probably - just more lies.

🎉 New paper: Introducing SocSES 🎉

Why SocSES, and why now?
1️⃣ Over the past three decades, the SES field has grown from a set of pioneering ideas into a vibrant, globally connected field, with approaches that are used across disciplines and regions to address pressing sustainability challenges.

2️⃣ As the field has matured, so too have its challenges. SES research remains institutionally fragmented and reliant on temporary networks and precarious funding. The focus on complexity that makes SES research valuable also creates tensions that require shared spaces for reflection, coherence, and ethical engagement.

3️⃣ SocSES is a unifying platform designed to support existing SES networks and initiatives by coordinating learning, supporting younger researchers, and amplifying collective impact. It offers an institutional home for a field that is both deeply grounded and rapidly expanding.

<<The shift away from the United States should be a wake-up call for Europe, says Leptin. “Why does Europe have to act to attract scientists only at a time when life is made miserable for them in the US? Why aren’t they coming here anyway?” she says. “That’s what Europe should be thinking about.”>>
