Gen Zs have poor spiritual health - a sense of self-purpose, connection to something larger than oneself. 3x worse than baby boomers, for eg. @McKinsey survey of 41,000 people in 26 countries. These are your new employees.

A key milestone, something to celebrate, >30% of world’s electricity produced by renewables last year, a crucial turning point. Solar +23%, fossil fuels flat(ish). China was 50% of solar growth. Still, a 2% growth in overall energy use. via @EmberClimate

Net zero economy grew by 9% in 2023, with 1,000s of new green companies formed, £74bn in size, 765,000 jobs. Doing good and doing well are not at odds with one another increasingly they are essential to one another.

What a difference 2 years makes. Let's hope @AlokSharma_RDG and the many others still at the #COP28 negotiating table can get a final position that still "keeps 1.5 alive".
I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped get us here today in Glasgow
But this is a fragile win
We have to continue to work together to kept 1.5 alive

.@ACllgnn joined REDO, @PRD_tweets & DC Sustainability to debate local #carbonoffset funds.
“With support from the private sector, public authorities could be empowered to structure local carbon offset funds & enable all stakeholders to achieve their carbon & social commitments”.

Updated @cyclestreets collision data for 2022. Here’s High Street Kensington, just for that period, reported collisions only, on the section @rbkc are doing literally nothing for 🚲 safety because it would “take too long”. It’s a disgrace. bikedata.cyclestreets.net/co…
Greater probability that you will win the $1.4 bn Powerball lottery that we would experience the September global temperature spike that we've seen. Some scary data this year.

Scary to see what is happening at Eath's poles. Antarctic sea ice has broken record minimums in summer for three of the past seven years. #climatechange #ClimateCrisis

This is what we need – a spiritual and cultural shift in the way we relate to the natural world. Waging war on the Earth’s life-support system is mindbogglingly foolish. theguardian.com/world/2023/a…
If I have this right, 6 SDs is 0,0001% probability. For context, we demand “5 nines” (99.999%) reliability for mission critical systems in things like IT,

Great! Very glad to see the campaign to reject @marksandspencer’s senseless demolition of its #oxfordstreet store succeed 2day. Proof that #retrofirst & #carbon matters. Proud to have lent my voice to this alongside @SAVEBrit @ArchitectsJrnal @WHurst1 and others

A really important piece of work released today on #carbon #offsetting best practice. We need tools like this to put the cost of emissions back onto those firms causing them in the first place, and level the playing field for those of us operating buildings at #NetZero
📣UKGBC launches new guidance urging industry to adopt an ambitious approach to carbon offsetting & pricing.
It offers a step-by-step process to deliver responsible offsetting strategies which supports the shift to net zero buildings.
