This is a big deal! Congratulations @nimetnigeria @sahelconsulting @BiovIntCIAT_eng @gatesfoundation @DrGIScience
I’ve felt for a long time that “doom & gloom” messaging on climate was counterproductive. This #climate #research finding doesn’t surprise me. Hopefully there is some practical import here on how to address the heterogenous impacts of climate and lean into win-win #ClimateAction

Useful.
The Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) method that gets everyone excited, is by far the most expensive.
The cheapest options all suffer MRV challenges.
But how much does MRV cost & can we actually do it?

Ethiopia's agricultural drought monitoring system (ASIS) is now LIVE, hosted by @Ethiomet ethiomet.gov.et:2323/
Wow, a seeming blast from the past. This paper unpacked complex issues around geography, sustainability, and resilience in a computationally inclined manner. Not an easy read but some core foundational concepts are addressed.

It is striking how many daily headlines are talking about events that were exacerbated by climate change. Here is just a short rundown from today as an example of the many many ways climate change is affecting us HERE and NOW. Please add any I missed. (Thread)

#NowReading "Projected Benefits of @CGIAR research" by (formerly @BiovIntCIAT_eng 's and now @gatesfoundation 's) @DrGIScience and (@CIMMYT 's) @gideonkruseman cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/105…
Fantastic to see #foresight front and center on the @FAO agenda.
The computer scientist, Alan Kay said: “The best way to predict the future is to invent it!”
Futures studies, or foresight, is the systematic study of possible, probable and preferable futures.
