What if climate action started with a map, a game, or a community conversation? Two South Island groups are helping track local climate action, identify climate risks, and build resilience through art, storytelling, education, and maps. 🔗 ow.ly/tzQs50ZW6GJ #ClimateAction #ClimateAdaptation

Just two years ago, the WEO showed China’s surplus staying within a contained range of 1.2-1.5% of GDP, but the IMF has adjusted its expectations every 6 months since as China’s exports continued their remarkable surge.

The Fund is clearly signaling that large imbalances both within China’s economy and globally are here to stay for the foreseeable future.

A standout datapoint from the IMF’s latest WEO forecast was another large upward revision to China’s current account surplus to nearly 4% of GDP per year—or 0.7% of world GDP—through 2030.

DRI is participating in the Great Nevada ShakeOut, tomorrow, October 15th! It is a drill that encourages you to learn what to do in the event of a large earthquake and how to get prepared. #DiscoverDRI #SouthernNevada #EarthquakeDrill #ScienceThatMattersNow

New study by @columbiauniversity.bsky.social and @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social researchers, including LDEO environmental geochemist Beizhan Yan, finds that when microplastics contact water, their surfaces can become chemically reactive. This could be how they get us sick. ➡️ bit.ly/4yqfjW7
