When pay runs out before the end of the week, it's irrelevant whether the next thing you need costs 50p or £50.

Before getting in an arithmetic tangle over 50p>0, pause instead on what you would do if one week you had to choose between feeding your kids or brushing their teeth.

What a day! And I’m not talking about the weather

Looking for positive, inspiring governance news this week?

Then well worth reading just published @ScottishLandCom & @CLESthinkdo work on natural resources!

Key principles around purpose, innovation, participation, will be vital to informing climate driven changes.

#LandReform

[Scottish Land Commission @ScottishLandCom]

🌍 Land is our most valuable natural resource. But the way we use and value land is changing to meet the twin challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, whilst supporting our vital farming and forestry sectors.

This rapid change calls for innovative and responsive approaches to how we own, manage, and use land, balancing needs and ambitions with delivering wide public, community, and private value.

Research by @CLESThinkDo for the Commission looked at various governance models in Scotland and abroad, offering valuable lessons for land governance.

The report, and summary that looks at lessons for Scottish land reform, are both available now on our website.

In the newly published @ScottishLandCom & @CLESthinkdo report 'Principles for Natural Resource Governance', the Shetland Charitable Trust is highlighted as a case study of an effective mechanism for securing public & community value from natural resources: https://t.co/ZMwP6puqHI

Analysis by @NEF as part of the RORE programme with @CLESthinkdo, @CooperativesUK and @thriving_places exposes the sheer inadequacy of the previous government’s “Levelling Up” programme, which provided just £1.89bn a year –  barely 3 weeks’ worth of the annual investment needed.
