on the other hand there is evidence that by integrating ESG practices will be very profitable, both from
market and consumer perspectives! #Asia is now taking the lead embracing ESGs. Great and inspiring talk!

Jessica Peters #CSR manager and member of #ClubofRome CSR, co-owner of an investing fund, introducing the #ESGdays emphasising that companies who embrace #ESG s are more resilient and future prepared than oldskool linear company practices.

Now with entrepreneur and systemthinker Jorge Sousa, architect Renee Wansdronk, Prof Sjoerd Kluiving at the @ESGdays launching our #regenerative business leadership initiative! It’s about exploiting the regenerative power of the #biosphere without undermining it! esgdays.com

#NAEM2025 🧪 Prof Yadvinder Malhi explains that human induced #rat invasions of atolls led to a collapse of #atoll ecosystem as birds and eggs were predated. A pristine atoll is therefore much more biodiverse. Animals play a critical role in shaping ecosystems and climate change #adaptation.

PhD candidate Emma Polman at 🧪#NAEM2025 investigating how water management in #grassland area influences #carbonstorage in the soil by #microorganisms. She sampled in grazed nature reserve in Flevoland.

#NAEM2025 PhD candidate Robin Lexmond @radboud university is researching #hedgerows and their effect on #biodiversity. In the Netherlands a lot of hedgerows were removed since 1950s. This may have led to a decrease in insects since that period.

Prof Turnhout is arguing that neutral science 🧪 can be an obstacle for alternative solutions. Initially participants of different backgrounds should collaborate, but in practice the dominant participant forces and “eats” the others.

#Anthropocene symposium Dr Niek Weilands works on reducing the #carbon footprint and chemical pollution of #healthcare, in this terms the netherlands is number 1 of the world… So healthcare is contributing to unhealthy environments due to #linear-health-economy Dr Weilands established #Green-Teams.

Dr Droog: The “continued influence effect”: when even disproved wrong information lingers around in our minds. Humor can, when used well, could help to reduce and correct misperceptions. Droog concludes: “Knowledge is power but trust turns it into meaningful action”.

Dr Ellen Droog from Vrije Universiteit on the #Anthropocene 🧪symposium The paradox of health communication: why health information is not empowering… health information lead to fear and guilt leading to tune out (people don’t care anymore).

Dr Bauman explains why lobbying of companies to delay the governmental prohibition of dangerous chemicals is also related to the economic interests and #consumerism!
January 30, 2025 at 2:44 PM
Dr Bauman argues that currently we found out that exposure to pollutants is more damaging to lower doses than previously. Sadly there is entrepreneurial activity to delay restrictions in their use, through #lobbying etc. In this case hard to understand: lobbying even when our babies are threatened.

Dr Baumann Endocrine disrupters #EDCs are pollutants (insecticides) that affect our hormon systems and principle processes in organisms eg feminisation in fish, decrease in reproduction… Especially pregnant women are vulnerable to exposure to EDCs, affecting #fetus the Global North…

Dr Lisa Baumann #ecotoxciologist on #anthropocene symposium about the global increase of chemical pollution and our increased exposure to them, with a recent huge increase in chemical solutions in our environment; affecting our fertility (1 to 6)! and life span 😬

Attending the #Anthropocene 🧪symposium. Invisible threats and expectations in a visibly ruined Planet: the #Guineas.
Anthropologist Prof Marjo de Theije introduction, the Guyanas are islands compared to the rest of S America,no common language. Recent oil discoveries bring hope. But who will profit!

Ndoye identify a key pathway how to #built trust between the global south and north (see pic). Key elements are: community engagement, interdisciplinary team building and regular meetings.

Now Yarin Eski in the #Anthropocene Symposium wrote a book on the #criminology 🧪of human species, whereby he argues that we humans are responsible for our actions and do quite a few bad criminal things… His talk now addresses about our extraterrestrial intentions to colonise #Mars
January 30, 2025 at 10:04 AM
Wallenhorst argues we should use the #anthropocene as a conceptional tool in education. Based on his study he concludes the following: we should take radical actions, aiming for #degrowth; we swear by the global market undermining our biosphere.
January 30, 2025 at 9:10 AM
Now at @Vrije Universiteit, the #Anthropocene Symposium, opening lecture by Prof Nathanaël Wallenhorst Université Catholique de L’Ouest #France presenting a critical theory of collective action to meet the challenges of the #anthropocene. 🧪It starts by listening to others, to the world and nature.

Palaeontologist colleague Julian P Hume crafted this beautiful painting of fighting solitaires. A giant pigeon species that became extinct only three centuries ago. It had fighting clubs on its wing ends, both males and females! how did this evolve?

For me the baseline would be 13.8 degrees celsius. From a celsius perspective 10%warming since then… But philosophically it is interesting because it’s about what humans can relate to and find impressive. If we can warm the MGST in 100 years, and striding to 1% celsius per year…

Our colleague Dr Jasper Croll modelled the demography and interaction between aggressive individuals and non-aggressive. He found that aggressive individuals are always in minority, but when the island shrinks beyond a critical size, all individuals become aggressive, a #tippingpoint!

We modelled how fast the island Rodrigues would shrink when sealevels rose since the ice age 18.000 years ago. We found it shrunk so fast that solitaires had to move landinward as their territories drowned. This may have triggered aggression. But how could it evolutionary persist?
