Kees van der Geest

Dear colleagues and friends, I will no longer be actively using twitter/x. I hope we can stay in touch elsewhere, e.g. on Bluesky [@keesvandergeest.bsky.social] or on Linkedin. All the best 👋☮️

📢📢Fantastic job opportunity at @UNUEHS (my job ☺️): Head of a research division studying environmental change and human mobility. I have very much enjoyed this job for over five years and am both sad and excited to pass the baton after the summer.

📢📢 SAVE-THE-DATE!!!

3rd Annual Conference of the Environmental and Climate Mobilities Network (#ECMN3): 8-10 July 2025, Bonn, Germany.

Mark it in your calendars before you make your summer holiday plans!! More info and the call for papers will follow in January. Happy 2025💫

Tomorrow at #COP29, we will be talking about voluntary #immobility in the context of #climatechange. In this short video, I explain what it is and why it is important.

IOM Pavilion, 13:00-14:00. We'll have 4 lightning talks with fresh research findings + discussion with audience

📢📢"The Right to Stay". Join us for possibly the only event about voluntary #immobility at #COP29. What happens when people are told to leave climate-risky areas but want stay and don't give up? Who decides that a place is no longer habitable?

Sat 16nov 1-2 pm. IOM Pavilion
