America’s Retreat From Aid Is Devastating Somalia’s Health System Hunger and the diseases that stalk small children have surged in Somalia after the U.S. slashed its aid to the country.

When the Trump administration dismantled USAID and ended vast swaths of foreign assistance to the world’s poorest countries, much of the food aid and health care for children across Somalia were abruptly cut off. Now more children are arriving at emergency centers sicker and thinner than ever.

Klimakipppunkte: „Lass mich raten: Wir werden alle sterben?“ Mit dem Ende der Korallenriffe hat die Erde den ersten Klimakipppunkt erreicht. Na gut, haben halt ein paar Schnorchler nichts mehr zum Schauen. Oder?

Klimakipppunkte drohen nicht mehr nur, die ersten wurden bereits erreicht. Unter anderem das Absterben von Korallenriffen. Die gute Nachricht: Forscher:innen sehen auch positive Kipppunkte. Gerlinde Pölsler seziert den neuen Global Tipping Points Report im #FALTERnatur. ↓

This Year’s Hurricanes Keep Turning Away From the East Coast Why?

In a typical Atlantic hurricane season, at least three storms would have already made landfall in the U.S.

How over- and underrepresented are different causes of death in the media?

Another way to visualize this data is to measure how over- or underrepresented each cause is.

To do this, we calculate the ratio between a cause’s share of deaths and its share of news articles.

In den USA lügt nicht nur der Präsident habituell, sondern auch die offizielle Kommunikationsabteilung des Weißen Hauses:

U.S. Enters 15th Day of Late-Night Jokes About Government Shutdown Jimmy Kimmel told his viewers that in 2018, “Trump shut the government down until they brought back the McRib or something.”

Here's a look at some of the highlights worth watching from late-night TV.

Energy Transition Mining And Displacements In Congo (DRC) – Climate Mobilities Hub | University Of Vienna The true cost of sustainability: As demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy soars, the rush for critical minerals like cobalt is displacing communities in the Democratic Republic of the Cong...

What if the path to clean energy comes at the cost of people’s homes? 🏞️

Our new scoping review by Marlena Niedl explores how the rush for cobalt, copper & other critical minerals in the DRC is driving displacement—and why energy transition must also mean justice.

#WindowFriday with a view of the Gulf of Thailand.
It is so nice to be back in this country, which has inspired much of my research.
Today, we spoke with migrant workers from Myanmar, who are increasingly establishing local roots in #Thailand due to the protracted conflict in #Myanmar.

Our #SummerSchool |Exploring the intersections of climate change, migration, (im)mobilities, resilience & climate futures| has successfully come to an 🔚 We engaged in critical discussions, learnt from leading scientists in our field and connected with exceptional colleagues 💯

We are happy to share that our colleagues, @songlin-wang.bsky.social (AI & climate mobilities) and Ailín Benítez Cortés (climate mobilities in Costa Rica), have successfully completed their FÖPs and have officially become PhD candidates 📝 We wish them all the best for the next few years of research!

I was really waiting for this. #Bluesky has now a bell function which helps to organize and prioritize your feed.

Great improvement!

🚀 After months of hard work, we're thrilled to launch the beta version of the Climate Mobilities Hub — a platform that helps to connect data, literature & case studies on climate & (im)mobilities.
