Biodiversity loss and health are deeply connected. Tackling them together is essential for life.
The cost of inaction? Pandemics, polluted air and collapsing food systems.
Integrated solutions are vital for a safe future. 🌍

In the latest issue of Environmental and Resource Economics, Peter H. Howard & Thomas Sterner conduct a careful meta-analysis of cost of climate change studies, giving a 'best estimate' between 7.1% and 12.6% of world GDP for 3 °C of warming. #Econsky
Methodology Matters: A Careful Meta-Analysis of Climate Damages - Environmental and Resource Economics
Environmental economists widely use meta-regression to combine estimates from multiple studies to strive for consensus Nelson and Kennedy (Environ Resour Econ 42(3):345–77, 2009). Despite its…

Today, EU climate ministers agreed on a 90% net reduction in GHG emissions by 2040. The Council also updated the NDC with an indicative 66.25–72.5% reduction by 2035 The @esabcc.bsky.social contributed to this process by providing independent scientific advice on the 2040 climate target.

'Identifying the safe operating space for food systems'
Highly relevant new paper by Sofie te Wierik et al. in Nature Food www.nature.com/articles/s43...
The paper shows: i) food systems are the single-largest pressure across Earth system processes, ii) all food system boundaries are transgressed

New paper with @glenpeters.bsky.social in Nature Communications today. We show how models and studies with a lot of scenarios in the IPCC scenarios database have a large impact on key findings, including emissions reductions, net-zero GHG year, and coal, gas, and oil consistent with 1.5°C.
Influence of individual models and studies on quantitative mitigation findings in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - Nature Communications
The paper analyses the impact of the uneven representation of models and studies on key mitigation findings in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. It finds that the model with the most scenarios has a considerable influence on several findings.

Conclusion:
Tackling climate change & inequality requires an integrated perspective. Neither challenge can be fully understood in isolation—nor can policy succeed if it ignores their interdependence. We close with thoughts on a roadmap for future research at the inequality-environment nexus.
