I have been letting the closing of @adaptationfutures.bsky.social simmer in my mind for the last day. What did we learn - what do we know about adaptation and what are the big questions? A brief thread to summarise what jumped out at me. 🧵 1/4
“As Ngāi Tahu we migrated south to Te Waipounamu… We have been adapting all our lives.
I think it’s really inspiring as a young person to think back to our ancestors and how they have succeeded because we are all here today.”
The awesome Thomas Blakie at #AF2025 @adaptationfutures.bsky.social
Midway through Day 1 @adaptationfutures.bsky.social - thoughts: There are lots of people here doing adaptation work. Climate change is causing so much labour: research, planning etc. But if we don't rethink development, and our guiding mantra of growth, we will fail. And...
It was a privilege to share my research at the @adaptationfutures.bsky.social conference on #BeyondAdaptation—#Justice and #Maladaptation.
Key message: Need to examine the power and knowledge underpinning the scalar dimension of maladaptation.

There are no red states, no blue states, only purple, from Idaho fuchsia to Vermont violet. And in every state there are children, non-citizens, and prisoners who can't vote. In every state where one candidate won, a bunch of people voted for the other candidate. And so forth.

In Madrid, eight striking artworks depict the pain of the countless mothers in Gaza losing their children to senseless violence.
This is sadly very relevant and we need to talk about it more in relation to how wars and climate change are related
This is the New Zealand Luxon and co are giving us. While the Govt celebrates a reduction in emergency housing the people they have turfed out of emergency housing and/or refused to house have nowhere to go. This is the back on track they are celebrating. #NZpol
