The BMC has announced that outdoor climbing, also known as rock climbing, is to be renamed 'Wild Climbing' in line with other pursuits that naturally take place in 'the wild' - AKA the outdoors - such as 'Wild Swimming.' https://t.co/lp4WIC76xi
Looking forward to @edie's #SLF2021 tomorrow! Can someone find me that time-turning watch from Harry Potter so I can attend multiple break out sessions at once? So hard to choose! π
Shifting Baseline Sydrome affects many conversation and biodiversity studies, masking the real extent of species decline. The #IPBES7 report highlights our collective #biodiversity emergency. Summary at: https://t.co/9nFAaspOj5
On #WorldEnvironmentDay here's a cartoon by xkcd depicting Shifting Baseline Sydrome. It's a phenomenon in which each generation of scientists accepts as a baseline the prevailing state at the beginning of their careers (Pauly, 1995).
UK Government has published its consultation response to the future of UK carbon pricing. It aims to be more ambitious in cutting emissions than the EU ETS, and consistent with the UK's net zero commitment. Available at: https://t.co/Rchp372THF

The Inquiry explains why the #WasteManagement hierarchy - seeking *prevention* first - is so important. I found the #psychology of #recycling so interesting! It's well worth 24mins of your Sunday.

@dustin_benton This is a great resource to inspire co-ordinated policy development. Congrats to the @GreenAllianceUK for producing it. The graph could be strengthened by incorporating conflicting policy decisions as well, to reflect net impact.
It could be game changing! If only there was a momentus proposal for new #environmental legislation passing through the @HouseofCommons
that could support #wild swimming with new #river#water quality standards... oh wait, there is ;)

Sir David Attenborough & BBC's NHU win Chatham House Prize for raising awareness of #plasticpollution. I think Hugh & Anita's War on Plastic series also deserves praise for inspiring people to do something about it. #knowledge and #action are two sides of the change-making coin.
Speaking at our mgmt conference this year I observed the lavalier microphone was designed for men's shirts. Clipping it to my female shirt, with buttons on the opposite side, meant the mic pointed downwards.
Thank you @CCriadoPerez for publicising biases that men wouldn't notice

@UKGBC's members announced highly ambitious climate targets on Friday. Now we need action. Our team at @wienerbergeruk look forward to supporting you on this mission.
On Friday, during the #GlobalClimateStrike, we launched our Climate Commitment Platform, an online tool designed to profile the headline commitments and #carbon targets of built environment organisations. Check it out: https://t.co/JbwBaOqt5B
