Sending lots of love to the #KyotoPlay company and crew for their Press Night this evening ❤

[Damian Carrington @dpcarrington]

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me…

@GhoshAmitav I’ve sent you a DM. Did you receive it? Keen to be in touch 💚

[Jessica Edwards @Jessicaed]

Thanks for sharing @fine_acts 💚

[Fine Acts @fine_acts]

😍 Check out this great article by @jessicaed at @nesta_uk, which features various orgs and initiatives (including us 🥳) reimagining our climate future: https://t.co/ABIYoE3kbq. Amidst these complex & volatile planetary times, we need artists and creative practitioners more than ever, as they are interpreters, navigators, empaths and architects, seeing beyond the immediate to what lies ahead. Check out this call for a creative reimagination of what is possible👇

[Jessica Edwards @Jessicaed]

Definitely the most entertaining corporate sustainability film of all time. Kudos to @tim_cook & Apple for recognising the power of storytelling when it comes to climate 💚

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

At Apple, we believe that climate change is one of the world’s most urgent priorities and we are deeply committed to doing our part. Today we had a special guest—a real force of nature—stop by to check on our progress.

[Jessica Edwards @Jessicaed]

Oh Jess, how much you will be missed ❤️

Thank you for your brilliance, your generosity, your boldness. Your excellent suits, your mischievous sense of fun.

What an inspiration to have worked with. What an extraordinary legacy you leave.

Second Edition now out "If humanity is to survive & thrive it must become re-enchanted with the biosphere it depends on. Playing for Time is a dance of the imagination...inviting us to look at & feel differently about the world"

@stonecoledfox Agree. Have been thinking abt this for a while too. Do DM if you’d like to compare notes.

[Indy Johar @indy_johar]

Increasingly the issue is not a mere lack of imagination but more fundamentally a lack of comprehension of the scale of the transition we are facing, and thereby a sufficient imaginary to face the reality coming at us.

Jesus calls us to welcome the stranger. I urge the Government to reconsider much of the Illegal Migration Bill which fails to live up to our history, our moral responsibility and our political & international interests.
