🌍 Climate politics in Hungary have faced significant setbacks in recent years, making it particularly interesting to observe the current public concern about climate change, who is blamed for it, and who people believe should address it. If you're curious about the 21 Research Center findings on the topic, read the article below about our research! 💬 For more in-depth discussion and questions, join us at our event on April 30th and consult with our invited experts. 📝 Register via https://lnkd.in/ea65Ktwn 🗞 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/ekvH5Kvs

I am happy to see that the results of our overheating study have been published in Yle. This piece of news aims to raise awareness in the Finnish society about the adverse impacts of climate change and its associated heatwaves on everyday life. Special thanks to my supervisor Risto K. for conducting the interview and facilitating the dissemination of our study. #ClimateChange #Research #Heatwaves #FinnishSociety

World leaders meet in New York to plot the future of international collaboration. However, how can they solve the problems of tomorrow if they can’t solve the problems of today? Colum Lynch takes a look at what we could expect from the Summit of the Future. #UNGA79 #globaldevelopment

I’m currently listening to a podcast/audiobook inspired by Továrna na lži (The Lie Factory) by sociologist Vojtěch Pecka for the second time while doing some administrative work and prepping for university. This book has captured my attention for a while now, and I recently had the chance to buy a hardcover copy at the Troja Art Book Fair. The combination of deep insight and great art makes it a prized possession. For anyone who understands Czech and is curious about the craft behind climate disinformation, I highly recommend taking a look. In short, The Lie Factory reveals how the production of climate disinformation works through concrete examples from both the Czech Republic and the global context. You may have heard arguments that global warming isn't caused by the increase of greenhouse gases. Some claim the sun or cosmic rays are to blame, while others deny global warming altogether. Occasionally, these claims even reference scientific literature or are made by respected scientists. However, the vast majority of climate science research confirms that human activity is the primary driver of climate change. Yet, accusations of data falsification and dramatization persist, adding to the chaos. Sociological research and investigative projects from recent years have shown that this confusion is no accident. Many findings point to a well-crafted political strategy designed to protect the interests of the fossil fuel industry. Its main tool? The creation of uncertainty and confusion. #ClimateChange

Today, the Dutch Climate Envoy, H.R.H. Prince Jaime de Bourbon de Parme, has arrived in #China accompanied by the Climate Envoys of Denmark, Mr. Tomas Anker Christensen, Germany, Mr. Norbert Gorißen, France, Mr. Kevin Magron, and the European Union, Mr. Tony Agotha. The envoys are visiting Beijing to engage in constructive dialogue and seek opportunities for enhanced cooperation on #climate action. The Climate Envoys will consult with their Chinese counterpart, Special Envoy for Climate Change of China, Mr. Liu Zhenmin, and Vice Minister Zhao Yingmin of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. In addition, they will meet with other Chinese stakeholders, both in the public and private sectors.  The Netherlands is committed to engaging with China to seek opportunities for enhanced cooperation on climate action. Only together can we effectively address the current climate crisis and accelerate the green energy transition.  #ClimatePartners

The effects of war on climate I was delighted to once again be a guest speaker on Al Jazeera Balkans in a recent episode of ‘Kontekst,’ where we discussed a critical and often overlooked issue: the devastating effects of wars and armed conflicts on the environment, and how this impacts global efforts to combat climate change. While wars primarily bring human tragedy, their environmental toll is profound and impossible to ignore. Today, the effects of conflicts extend far beyond the regions where they occur, causing long-lasting damage to ecosystems that further worsens the climate crisis. Forests, water sources, and biodiversity suffer extensive harm, making recovery even more difficult. Wars and armed conflicts contribute to the rise of emissions from military operations, infrastructure destruction, and population displacement, all which hamper efforts to mitigate climate change. The war supply chain, encompassing heavy industries like metal, construction, technology, transport, and over-exploitation of natural resources, fossil fuels and critical materials, add significant amount of emissions. Conflicts divert essential resources, both financial and human, away from climate action, delaying progress on climate adaptation and mitigation, particularly in vulnerable regions. The environmental scars left by wars are long-lasting, meaning that recovery will require not just peacebuilding but also ecosystem restoration, adding further urgency to both diplomatic and environmental agendas. As we continue to struggle with climate change effects, the intersection of conflict and environmental degradation is becoming even more critical.
