COP29 is kicking off and the biggest issue on the agenda is climate finance.
Nearly 200 states must agree on a new goal to help developing nations tackle climate change. They disagree on nearly every issue

20yrs ago Valdes moved to Bristol and our climate/biochemistry group (BRIDGE) was born. We celebrated our anniversary by bringing back many of our alumni. I love co-leading the group with @OceanFMonteiro - life is a lot of fun when you have such friendly and exciting colleagues❤️

Not only have ocean temperatures been hotter than ever for 12 months straight, each anomaly looks 10* higher than previous isolated record months! If this doesn't have you #shittingbricks (apologies, but really!!), I don't know what will.
