When even the former Chief Economist at the Bank of England is calling out our leaders' obsession with economic growth you know the tide is turning. https://t.co/eNcBWDnk1f

Love #skiing and #snowboarding? Then you should be all for #ClimateAction! Gr8 session with #ProtectOurWinters NZ recently exploring ways to limit avg global temp rise to 1.5-2 degC using #EnROADS. Great discussion and #insights - need both #supply and #demand #incentives to make meaningful change. And #fast!

Great #EnROADS session last week at @waikato University. Hard realisations that we need to do LOTS. But great discussions about why some actions are more impactful than others. Thanks Céline Louche for the invitate! See their scenario below:

Great #EnROADS #ClimatePolicy #Simulator session with a #Law class @VicUniWgtn a couple of weeks ago.

Managed only 1.7 DegC warming by 2100. Reducing #coal #utilisation, a solid #CarbonPrice, and improving #Buildings #EnergyEfficiency all helped.

Gr8 #EnROADS guest lecture with @waikato uni 300 lvl class last Fri. Really good chat re policies that impact energy supply AND demand. Need much less consumption AND dramatic action. But huge impact IS possible - just need lots of action NOW. 💚🌏👫

Last Tues had a great #EnROADS sesh with a 400 lvl class at @VicUniWgtn. Was great! Lots of good discussion and insights for students. Spoiler alert - need lots of action NOW - BUT dramatic progress IS poss. 🙌💚🌏👫

It's long been a question: could all of humanity actually live within the Doughnut? Thanks to Hauke Schlesier et al it's just been quantified for the 1st time. And the answer is probably yes - if we transform to economies of sufficiency. Read more here: https://t.co/aZjcj1TQ0P

Thanks @otago uni for hosting an #EnROADS climate policy session. Big class, big interest. Powerful use of #carbonbathtub analogy - emissions must reduce BELOW removals/ sequestration to stop GHGs accumulating in atmosphere. 💚🌏👫

Gr8 #EnROADS climate policy guest lecture with uni of @waikato post-grad class. Thx Priya Kurian! Loads of insights. Action needed across multiple policy areas! 💚🌏👫

Absolutely - a healthy environment is at the heart of a more resilient economy

[Justin Connolly @JDConnollyNZ]

Great start to Feb! #EnROADS Climate Policy Workshop with the #ClimateFresk community in NZ. Great insights and discussion. 💚 🌏 👫

Key insights: #urgency required to reduce emissions- reductions now far better than reductionslater. #MultiplePolicyParadox - net impact of multiple climate policies often less than their individual impacts combined - due to overlap.

Growing up in Ngāruawāhia I always knew of QEII’s famous 1953 visit. I was not, however, aware of this context and history. Thank you @vomalley

[Vincent O'Malley @vomalley]

In 1953 Queen Elizabeth visited Tūrangawaewae marae, despite the best efforts of the NZ government to block it.

@moanatribe I’ve sometimes had luck with parsnips and carrots cut up like chips and cooked in an air frier. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The carrots colour are a giveaway, but sometimes the parsnips pass as potato fries! 🥔 🍟

What do we mean when we say, change the system, not the climate?

We’ve teamed up with @Greenpeace to make this handy explainer. More info and examples of how people around the world are rewiring our economies at https://t.co/AUottpu80B

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?

More than half the CO₂ emissions of the industrial age have been dumped into the atmosphere since 1990.

Last chance to apply to this fantastic role in our team.

Applications close Sunday.

Great #EnROADS climate policy session with a Vietnamese delegation at @waikato university last week. Most touted 'solutions' actually have low impact. So we must #ThinkLikeABathtub and #ReduceEmissions - fast! 💚 🌏 👫
