In our #Readoftheweek, Michael Gonsior, Professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, shares insights on the role of analytical science in climate change – why science needs a seat at the policy table. 🌎 https://ow.ly/aGWi50UhFgi #ClimateChange #AnalyticalScience #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction #ScienceForChange

Land use is one of the best tools we have to lock away tons of carbon dioxide and achieve our climate goals. But it’s also crucial for growing food. Can these two future demands co-exist? Perhaps surprisingly, the answer is yes, according to a new study published in Frontiers in Environmental Science. https://lnkd.in/gyfutvhi

These findings from a NYSERDA study paint a stark picture: temperatures in Dutchess and Putnam counties could surge by 4.1 to 10 degrees by the 2080s, with more extreme weather events on the horizon. Climate change isn't a distant threat—it's here, affecting our communities now. But amidst the challenges, there's hope. The report calls for urgent action to reduce emissions and adapt to the changes ahead. It's a reminder that we have the power to shape our future.

Please submit your abstracts to our session on local climate change adoption #AGU2024. During this session, we would like to discuss bridging the gap between data use and effective policy through co-creation, integrating science with real-world applications. We also hope to explore case studies, strategies, and innovative methodologies that empower local and regional planning. We value insights from both social and natural sciences, emphasizing environmental justice and the integration of indigenous knowledge. #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalJustice #CoCreation #SciencePolicy
