📣 The COP Conference of Youth, starting on Thursday, will gather over 400 young people from over 120 countries to draw up their demands of world leaders. While the UK government refused to fund this vital platform for young people, @scotgov has stepped up to fund it itself.

Why government intervention is required, from ⁦@devisridhar⁩ - “When this is left to individual discretion, many assume masks aren’t necessary (otherwise the government would be enforcing them) and stop wearing them.” theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Ich bin total schlecht in Marketing, weil es mir um Content geht. Aber wenn Ihr von meinem Content profitiert, könnt Ihr ja mein Buch kaufen. Da erkläre ich vieles viel ausführlicher als hier und gestern hörte ich, es sei versöhnlich. Trotz #mutterwut. mutterwut-muttermut.de

Climate, a culture war in which only the young care? Ask the old (some people have). Of course, the young will see more of their lives impacted, but we all need to work together on this heraldscotland.com/opinion/1…

Only the young care about climate? Half of them think control can wait.

WE’RE often told it’s the young, not the old who care about the future. The youth are what drive us to recognise that our house is on fire and we need to act. But I’ve never really bought that line....

🗞 Weekend Read 🗞 There is a lot of talk about ecofeminism, but the concept still seems poorly understood. Author Jeanne Goutal explains the fundamentals of ecofeminist thinking + how the movement sets out to challenge the dominant system as a whole. 👇🏼 greeneuropeanjournal.eu/figh…

Fighting the Patriarchy to Save the Planet

Ecofeminism seeks to tackle all forms of exploitation. Can identifying the strands of thought linking all forms of domination help us to better fight against them?
