Geopoliittisen ja planetaarisen kriisin juurisyynä on produktivistinen talousjärjestelmä, joka keskittyy talouden ja tuottavuuden kasvuun. @yhys.bsky.social -juhlakirjan päätösluku osoittaa suunnan ulos antroposeenista ja ihmiskeskeisestä tutkimusorientaatiosta: edition.fi/yhys/catalog...

Minna Santaoja & @ninavnygren.bsky.social pohtivat ’muunlajisen’ elämän jäämistä yhteiskuntatieteiden ulkopuolelle ja kurottavat kohden monilajista tutkimusta, joka korostaa ihmisen ja muun luonnon yhteenkietoutuneisuutta. Hieno artikkeli:

Tina Nyfors, Erja Laakkonen & @rubenvezzoni.bsky.social nicely open the contents of sufficiency-degrowth-kohtuus programmes addressing the planetary crisis. Most critically, we have to turn reducing the scale of societal matter-energy throughput! See the inspiring article: edition.fi/yhys/catalog...

Torrential rainfall in the Brazilian city of Belem flooded pavements outside the venue for the #COP30 climate talks. Scientists say climate change is making extreme weather events more common.

What would it look like if the world came together to prevent the fossil fuel industry from obstructing science-informed public policy and its implementation? UCS's Kathy Mulvey decided to imagine what a COP free from fossil fuel industry influence would look like. act.ucsusa.org/4hSh9IA
Imagining a COP Free from Fossil Fuel Industry Influence
COP30 will be a pivotal moment in global efforts to limit the worst impacts of climate change and advance a just transition centering workers, communities, and Indigenous Peoples.
