@moodler If this is the racist stance of @moodle I suggest @ETH_en immediately stop using it. Personally I will bend over backwards to not use it in my classes from now on.

She then added “I wonder what kind of leadership we could aim for in 10-20 years ahead from now when all experts on sustainability challenges will be from Africa or Latin America.” Ummm that would be called equitable leadership.

1/9 Should payments for environmental services ( #PES ) be used to implement zero #deforestation supply chain policies? In a recent paper in @WorldDevJournal our team @EPL_at_ETH answers this question: (A thread) @usys_ethzh @ethzWFSC @ETH4D @istp_eth

Just a reminder. An area 1/3 the size of #Switzerland was deforested in BR #Amazon in 2021. We need: 1) improved #publicpolicies in regions that import deforestation-linked products; 2) improved company #ZDCs ; & 3) increased finance to support BR deforestation-control policy

Don’t get mad, get equal… @rach_garr & I have been exploring the pervasiveness of misogyny that exists for many female science leaders & how to create more diverse & powerful organizations for the future. We’d love feedback & ideas on a publication destination. Pls get in touch!

Let’s face it - the elevation of personal liberty above other values in the US is a sickness not a virtue. It’s behind the COVID explosion (anti-maskers), gun violence (right to bear arms), climate change (lack of limits on fossil fuel emitting behaviors), what else?

At every step of the way Universities in the Global North stand in the way of recruiting people from lower income countries- additional language & course requirements, higher fees, probationary periods. All the posturing in the world won’t hide the #colonialityofhighered

I think it’s time for a sigh of relief. Not just for the Amazon and Cerrado, but for peace & stability in Brasil, for some return of rule of law, science, & civility. For food security & poverty reduction. For the climate & democracy.

WRI's newest report provides greater detail on the amount of deforestation linked to different agricultural commodities. Unsurprisingly deforestation for beef cattle is by and far the largest source of tree clearing worldwide. via @qz

You joke but sometimes it does feel a bit like I’m stuck in the academic-industrial complex… so the concept of degrowth applies. We need more quality, more utility, less quantity. Is an h-index any less flawed than gdp?
