    When the numbers run out (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When the player who completed Oman's comeback against Kuwait pulled off his shirt in delight, the referee booked him, and the caution left Oman and Iraq identical in every column the Gulf Cup could consult, down to 8 yellow cards apiece. The players celebrated at the stadium all the same, believing their disciplinary record had carried them through, until the count caught up with the shirt. After all that football and arithmetic, qualification came down to drawing lots at a hotel in Jeddah aroun

    The sea rises sideways (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Early in my career, I studied farmers along the Batinah Plain, and some of them were thinking about raising fish because the sea had come in under their gates and into their wells. My work with them was to explore this idea by introducing recirculating aquaculture, where fish are raised in tanks and the water is filtered and reused again and again. It was built around the farmers’ response to the salt; where salinated water wells were costing them their crops, the question in front of them was w

    The handovers have to hold: Reflections of Oman Climate Week (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Three days in Muscat, and the halls of Oman Climate Week were full of people who do not normally share a building. Ministry officials, bankers, scientists, students, engineers and people who run village councils, moving between sessions under the theme from vision to implementation. On the first day I was in a session on the implementation of Oman’s Nationally Determined Contribution, representing civil society, when the question came, and it was a fair one: what does an environmental organisati

    Fatalism wearing the clothes of realism (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Some years ago I stood on a TEDx stage and asked a room to close their eyes and picture Oman in 2100. Then I gave them the projections. A rise of around 4°C for this country, against 1.3°C the world had definitely warmed by then. Cyclones every five years, with Shaheen already on record as the first to cross the Sea of Oman from the northeast. A meter of sea level rise, which I measured against my own body on the stage, because a meter is deceptively simple to nod at until it is standing beside

    A feeling with no address (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last week’s footage from Nepal asks the eye to accept something it doesn’t understand. One moment, the valley is green and legible, its river contained between fields, roads and houses; the next, a brown front of ice, rock, mud and uprooted trees is carrying those boundaries away. The camera records what the person behind it has barely enough time to realise. One caption beneath the footage declared that there is no adapting to climate collapse. Grief makes the sentence understandable, and the w
