Germany's climate plan for net zero by 2045 shows cost-effective massive decarbonization can be immediately implemented once political will is there:
- Industry to cut emissions 37% by 2030
- Energy sector to cut emissions 61% by 2030

@JuSummerhayes This! And when workplaces punish us for being ourselves we are forced to hide, withhold, withdraw, be fake, and lie.
Not sure I see self acceptance and belonging as mutually dependent - some workplaces force their opposition. Hx
After supreme court rules its climate goals were weak, Germany moves big on climate:
- 2030 emissions cut target up from 55% to 65%
- 2040 target of 88%
- Net zero moved forward by 5 years to 2045

Solar and wind potential 100 times as much as global energy demand and opportunity has only just been unlocked
"Collapse in renewable costs means half of this technical potential has economic potential, and by the end of the decade it will be over 90%"

Big, positive climate and health news in past 24 hours:
-> U.S. to near-double its emissions cut target from 26% to 28% to "at least 50%" by 2030
-> U.K. targets 78% cut in GHG emissions by 2035, to include aviation, shipping

Inspiration requested!
I am putting together a list of films that can help move us towards a kinder, wilder and more sustainable world.
So far:
The Game Changers - top athletes on plant based diet
Kiss the Ground - regenerative agriculture
We The Power - community energy
I'm delighted to say that the inspiring Global Rewilding Alliance have published my poem My Wilding Lawn in their impact report for the inaugural Global Rewilding Day, which is well worth a read:
