What’s the Link between Climate Change and Language? As the environment becomes increasingly more hostile for people living in highly linguistically diverse areas — from sea-level rise along the coast to more severe droughts in desert regions — climate change-induced migration could have serious consequences for some of the most at-risk languages spoken today.

When climate activism and nationalism collide Kemal Derviş While climate activists have built an impressive international movement, broadening their political support and crossing borders, the nationalist narrative has been gaining ground in domestic politics around the world. Its central message—that the world consists of nation-states in relentless competition with one another—stands in sharp contrast to the climate movement’s “one planet” emphasis on human solidarity. And these two trends are on a collision course. Read more »» brookings.edu @Enviro_Climate

Children have been identified as one of the population groups at greatest risk from the systemic shocks caused by climate change. It finds that increased poverty is probably the most important link between climate change and child labour. The damage caused by climate change is significantly affecting livelihoods and living conditions, pushing more people into poverty and degrading the circumstances of those who are already poor and vulnerable. There is evidence that these conditions induce households to rely more on child labour, the paper says. Other key impact channels identified in the paper include: ▪️changes to agricultural productivity; ▪️climate-related extreme weather shocks; ▪️climate-driven migration and conflict; ▪️health issues, hazardous child labor; ▪️destruction or degradation of basic services infrastructure.

The preservation of the quality of the food chain, as well as of life underwater in general is a primary concern for society. However, observing water media routinely is a complex task that remote sensing technology empowered by AI can unlock. © ClimateChangeAI @Enviro_Climate

PETERPENCIL/GETTY IMAGES Human ancestors may have survived a brush with extinction 900,000 years ago About 1 million years ago, our distant ancestors hunted in small bands and gathered their food with sophisticated stone tools. Then, about 900,000 years ago, something happened: The number of breeding individuals dwindled to only about 1300, according to a new study modeling ancient population sizes. Our ancestors came within a hair’s breadth of extinction, and populations remained that low for the next 100,000 years or more, researchers argue today in Science.

Forgotten Species: the fiery Luristan Newt The biggest threat for the Luristan newt is “illegal collection for the pet trade,” explains Dr. Theodore Papenfuss, a research specialist of herpetology (the study of amphibians and reptiles) at the University of California, Berkeley. “Several hundred specimens have been smuggled to Europe in the last few years. Some have appeared in the US pet trade.” © news.mongabay.com @Enviro_Climate

Media coverage of climate change research does not inspire action Ⓒwp.unil.ch Media coverage of scientific advances on climate issues does not activate the mechanisms known in psychology to trigger action in individuals and groups. This is the conclusion of a study conducted by social scientists and geoscientists from the University of Lausanne (UNIL – Switzerland). @Enviro_Climate

Rich nations owe reparations to countries facing climate disaster, says Pakistan minister Rich polluting countries which are predominantly to blame for the “dystopian” climate breakdown have broken their promises to reduce emissions and help developing countries adapt to global heating, according to Pakistan’s minister for climate change, who said reparations were long overdue.
