COP 27 has ended. All may not be perfect, especially on the mitigation front. However, progress made on climate adaptation needs to be applauded. The “loss and damage" fund for vulnerable countries is not only necessary but timely. The fund is indeed a key win of COP 27.

Africa's biggest missed opportunity is its solar energy potential. It has 60% of the world's best solar resources, but only 1% of solar generation capacity. The initial capital investment may be huge but strong political will can set the ball rolling.

Is it possible to quantitatively determine the techniques and skills of indigenous people forecasts? Are indigenous forecasts based on intuition or a rational skill developed over time and with practice? See our newly published paper. lnkd.in/du38yvJ

Interesting projections for the world's economic growth (-4.9%) in 2020 by the IMF. #COVID-19 plays a key role in this recession. Governments need to be more strategic than ever.

Recent ranking by shows #Singapore which imports nearly all its food is the most food secure country; #Venezuela, with huge land & energy resources, the least. So food security results from political commitment to development, nationally (& also internationally!)...
