Great collaborative paper led by @RaphaelRiya with #postgrowth welfare team of @lunduniversity. We address main concerns while envisioning sustainable welfare within the #Nordic context: growth and its paradoxical relation with #welfare; inequalities and notions of wellbeing.

European friends: Do not accept lectures on democracy & freedom of speech from an Administration that denies the 2020 election results and is now suing & intimidating news outlets whose reporting they don’t like.
Stand tall against right-wing extremism.

The failure of authorities to issue public warnings in time before the devastating floods in Valencia offer an example of what it means when far-right policies meet environmental disasters.
One of Vox's conditions for backing the PP's Carlos Mazón as regional premier was the elimination of the Valencian Emergency Response Unit.

This is great news! Not only is 2025 the international year for glacier preservation, but we will have a decade on Action for Cryosphere Sciences. We know so little about glaciers, snow and permafrost, especially in high mountain areas, so this is very important.

Today the resolution on the Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences was adopted at the @UN General Assembly! 👏
Launched in the Paris Call of the #OnePlanetPolarSummit, & co-facilitated with 🇹🇯, the Decade 2025-2034 will focus on needed scientific research on the #cryosphere.

University of Copenhagen decides to divest from companies investing in settler colonial complexes in the West Bank.
Good news! And lots of praise is due to the students who have protested and camped on university premises, pushing for this change.

Opdatering vedrørende KU’s investeringer.
KU’s bestyrelse drøftede i april universitetets tilgang til placering af midler i virksomheder på FN’s liste over virksomheder, der har aktiviteter på Vestbredden.
På samme bestyrelsesmøde blev det også besluttet, at KU fremover skal udføre et mere aktivt ejerskab over for sine kapitalforvaltere. Det vil sige regelmæssig dialog om blandt andet de virksomheder, der måtte optræde i de porteføljer, som er på den omtalte FN-liste.
Som følge heraf har KU fra i morgen (29. maj) ikke længere investeringer i fonde, der har Airbnb, Booking[.]com og onlinerejseselskabet eDreams ODIGEO i deres portefølje. Der var investeringer i de tre virksomheder for samlet omkring 1 mio. kr.
Beslutningen om at træde ud af de pågældende investeringer er i tråd med bestyrelsens strategi for finansiel risikostyring og etisk investeringspolitik, som blandt andet beskriver den løbende dialog med kapitalforvaltere om konkrete investeringer. Derudover flugter beslutningen med de refleksioner rektoratet har gjort sig på baggrund af samtaler med studerende og ansatte i forbindelse med konflikten i Israel og Palæstina.
Som tidligere udmeldt, finder rektoratet det fuldstændigt rimeligt, at universitetsbefolkningen har indsigt i, hvad universitetets midler investeres i. Vi arbejder derfor fortsat på, hvordan vi, inden for de gældende aftaler, kan give en status for porteføljen med faste mellemrum.

The failure of the peer review process could not be more evident@NatureClimate in this piece. The authors (and indirectly the journal) claim (and invisibilize) an authority that climate/environmental justice researchers (and activists) have tediously built for decades.🥶

Where’s all the snow gone? The snowy peaks of the #HinduKushHimalaya aren’t very snowy this year. Read our short summary here.
#cryosphere #HKH
Record low snowfall in the #HinduKushHimalaya is raising alarm bells for water security in the region. Less snow means less meltwater, impacting agriculture and livelihoods.
