Why do we have such a hard time imagining substantive economic change? I have a new open access paper that explores this question, looking at the ways academic sustainability writing shuts down our economic imaginations - and how it might expand them. https://t.co/lB0767aw9k 1/n

We highlight the different impacts that different sectors can have...

[Dr Simon Mair @simon_mair]

That said the IO table does allow us to contextualise the UK marine economy and we can see that the marine focused sectors cross a wide range of carbon and employment intensities. Some marine sectors are very GHG intensive, others more middle of the road in a wider UK context.

Delighted to join the nice gang in @ices_asc #ICESASC24 Session I at 15:30 to present the @MSPACE_UK #DST decision support system for #ClimateSmart #MSP. Please come along🙌🌊

All of us @GreenpeaceUK appalled at draconian prison sentences just now for @JustStop_Oil #WholeTruthFive activists. Peaceful protest is vital for healthy democracy.

Will the new @attorneygeneral immediately turn attention to stopping these authoritarian responses to protest?

Banning advertising can be a part of climate action. Two recent pieces exploring the links between advertising, growth, capitalism & climate change. 1/4

[Dr Simon Mair @simon_mair]

By banning capitalist adverts we create space for art that promotes alternative sets of values and dynamics that can help deliver climate-compatible economies.

TLDR: Capitalist dynamics that we take for granted (making money as the main motivator of production, consumerism, endless Growth etc) are actively created by cultural forces - one of which is advertising.
