Climate Change, Complexity Economics, Systemic Risks, Cities, Cascades, Ecology. Complex systems insights for sustainable futures. Assoc Prof @ SRI Leeds FRSA https://is.gd/1alYNP + https://is.gd/PfiCiI Wannabe spin doctor on regional systemic risks.

Walkable cities aren’t just sustainable: they’re safer!🚶‍♂️🏙️ But what does walkability actually mean for safety? Check out the eye-opening insights from Pina and team below! 👇

Systemic risk from the Environment to the Macro-economy. Clever use of methods. Nice estimates. I'd say estimates are conservative: 1. indirect effects, 2. secondary impacts, and 3. regional clustering, i.a., would make things worse.

Same #climatechange, different #city heat challenges, and solutions: Humid city? Stop paving and (see +). Dry city? You need wind corridors, shade and (see +). Background climate controls urban heat island mechanisms. + details doi.org/10.1016/j.uc... #academicsky #ipcc #greensky #sciencesky 🧪

LLMs are used widely in the behavioral sciences. But we have no good standards for how to do so. We introduce a consensus-based reporting checklist to improve transparency, reproducibility and ethical accountability of LLM-based research in the behavioural sciences. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌎 This #WorldEnvironmentDay we're looking ahead to #WOHC2026 - dedicated events under the theme of "climate change, Environment, Ecosystems Health" highlight how there's no #OneHealth without a healthy environment. Learn more & register at: globalohc.org/minisite/9WO... #NowForClimate

The most extreme heatwaves physically possible already today could dwarf all events in recent memory. And even more worrying, they occur successively after one or more extreme heatwaves in the same summer. 🔥 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s43... @erichfischer.bsky.social @commsearth.nature.com

'In Defence of Walkability as a Crime Prevention Strategy'. New preprint with @ianloader.bsky.social We challenge the consensus that walkable neighbourhoods are more criminogenic. We highlight two flaws in the literature: i) overreliance on police statistics; and ii) neglect of motoring offences.
