Systematic global stocktake of over 50,000 urban climate change studies - Nature Cities

This study provides an evidence database on climate change in cities, highlighting that small and fast-growing cities, especially in Asia and Africa, are underresearched, which has contributed to bias...

👋Hi! We're #Fairwork, an action research project known for developing groundbreaking insights about the plight of digital workers in 39 countries across four continents. Through rigorous research, we show that better and fairer jobs are possible.

Want to learn more? Read below & visit www.fair.work

An informative and graphic card explaining what the fairwork project does.

The text reads:

Fairwork evaluates the working conditions of companies in the digital economy and ranks them on how well they treat their workers. Ultimately, our goal is to show that better and fairer jobs are possible.

We focus on:

Location-based platform work (like food delivery, ride-hailing, and domestic work);

Cloudwork (or online remote work like filling in surveys, translation, and web development);

AI (like warehouses where AI is deployed and data labelling centers); and

Online sex work (like camming, escorting, and content delivery).

Hello friends. Lovely to find you here.

A mainstay (some might say expert) on the UNFCCC and UN chemicals and wastes discussions.

I research to inform policy, I speak to help foster evidence based discussions. Let's chat.
