Fascinated by this car-free development in Arizona. Mixed-use buildings, walkable community, tiny retail spaces suitable for small businesses (not chain stores). Transit line takes you to the airport; car share program if you need.
Contrary to popular belief, private companies created significantly more jobs, net of attrition, than their public peers in 2022.
Our new report analyses EDCI data to see how private companies ranked in a Social Metrics Report card.

Why do we, a management consultancy, talk so much about #climatechange?
This headline and article offer a window into our thinking.
TL;DR: Because one of climate change’s consequences — extreme heat — lowers productivity across the economy. https://t.co/VUgPeZuKdA
Jaylen Brown is the definition of IT’S BIGGER THAN BASKETBALL. He just signed a $304 Million extension with the Boston Celtics, the biggest contract in NBA History, and his response to what he wants to do in Boston is worth 1 min of your time.
Looking at electricity generation (rather than total energy use) we can see the progress made by wind and solar more clearly.
However, the fossil fuel share has only barely declined and the rapid growth in renewables has been partly offset by a declining nuclear share.
Update of humanity's energy supply through 2022.
Despite the continued growth of wind & solar, the fraction of energy from fossil fuels remains nearly unchanged at 78%. 😠
We have yet to really begin the rapid energy transition that Paris Agreement climate targets demand.
10 years ago, 8-year-old Martin Richard was among the three killed in the Boston Marathon bombing.
His friends from their Boston neighborhood will honor his memory by running together in the race on Monday.
In 1955, Lewis Mumford wrote a @NewYorker essay series titled “The Roaring Traffic’s Boom.”
It remains one of the most searing and prescient takedowns of urban highways.

You may know that President Carter put solar panels on West Wing to heat hot water. But you should read the speech he gave dedicating the solar panels, in front of a crowd on top of the Press Briefing Room. A true visionary. Thank you, President Carter. https://t.co/YV5DhNzesl.
Ghent adopted a new transportation strategy in 2017.
Deputy Mayor: "The plan was to make short journeys less attractive for a car and more attractive for anything else."
During the six years since:
- Biking ⬆️ 100%
- Transit trips ⬆️ 12%

Some great quotes from @rob_by_robwest today outlining the facts and fiction of the global energy transition. Not everyone is going to be happy and there will be tradeoffs.
My annual presentation: trends in decarbonization.
The long view; trends and transience; net zero as evolution and revolution. Everything from surface humidity to Nordic heat pump sales to hydrocarbon gravimetric density to hyperobjects.
