A great start at #ISA2025, Chicago presenting on #HumanRights, #ClimateLitigation, the #UNFCCC Negotiations. What a rich discussion chaired by Christina Hoicka, discussions by Farrah Brown, and co-panelists @kmo95.bsky.social, Keith Goldstein, and Yasushi Katsuma.
A great discussion this morning at #ISA2025. Thank you @isaess.bsky.social/IO for giving us a full panel of UNFCCC papers- it was a great way to highlight this aspect of global climate politics! Including @susanannsamuel.bsky.social

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽💻
New public scholarship on my last publication- and a strain of climate optimism on Inauguration Day!

There’s been a lot of “Biden needs to push through policies before Trump” from Dems in the last couple of weeks. A more sustainable Colorado River plan would be a big win for climate resilience in the West!
