The figures themselves are adapted from @bonpote.com and by the Pathfinder initiative report (@sarahwhitmee.bsky.social)

I love a good infographic, thanks for sharing!

Two ideas:
I’ve started to move away from the phrase “co-benefits” as I’ve seen discussions on how it can be too wonky + can be perceived as diminishing the justice aspects of the solutions. I often use “win-wins” or simply “multiple benefits” instead.

Second, I suspect the greatest health impact of climate change might lie in its exacerbation and acceleration of refugee crises, which will in turn have a huge impact on Europe both socially and politically. It is an indirect effect, but I think it could be worth mentioning.

Ongoing (and important) debate on the term indeed ! The IPCC has somehow popularized the concept and term, but I agree it's important to weight the pro and con, and not get stuck with it. Similarly to the "win-win", I like the phrase "no regret strategy".

Right?! So freakin infuriating! Time to do that disaster medicine course i guess? Also plan to keep interacting with like minded people like yourselves to address our mental health needs going into this inevitable time. Let’s keep sticking together and supporting for change
