Gen Zs have poor spiritual health - a sense of self-purpose, connection to something larger than oneself. 3x worse than baby boomers, for eg. @McKinsey survey of 41,000 people in 26 countries. These are your new employees.

A key milestone, something to celebrate, >30% of world’s electricity produced by renewables last year, a crucial turning point. Solar +23%, fossil fuels flat(ish). China was 50% of solar growth. Still, a 2% growth in overall energy use. via @EmberClimate

Net zero economy grew by 9% in 2023, with 1,000s of new green companies formed, £74bn in size, 765,000 jobs. Doing good and doing well are not at odds with one another increasingly they are essential to one another.

What a difference 2 years makes. Let's hope @AlokSharma_RDG and the many others still at the #COP28 negotiating table can get a final position that still "keeps 1.5 alive".

[Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma @AlokSharma_RDG]

I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped get us here today in Glasgow
But this is a fragile win
We have to continue to work together to kept 1.5 alive

.@ACllgnn joined REDO, @PRD_tweets & DC Sustainability to debate local #carbonoffset funds.
“With support from the private sector, public authorities could be empowered to structure local carbon offset funds & enable all stakeholders to achieve their carbon & social commitments”.

Updated @cyclestreets collision data for 2022. Here’s High Street Kensington, just for that period, reported collisions only, on the section @rbkc are doing literally nothing for 🚲 safety because it would “take too long”. It’s a disgrace. https://t.co/2NouuicYun

Greater probability that you will win the $1.4 bn Powerball lottery that we would experience the September global temperature spike that we've seen. Some scary data this year.

Scary to see what is happening at Eath's poles. Antarctic sea ice has broken record minimums in summer for three of the past seven years. #climatechange #ClimateCrisis

This is what we need – a spiritual and cultural shift in the way we relate to the natural world. Waging war on the Earth’s life-support system is mindbogglingly foolish. https://t.co/EwuDgVZlKb

My comment on today’s announcement

[Basil Demeroutis @Basil_FORE]

@ProfBrianCox Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Science will prevail in time.

[Basil Demeroutis @Basil_FORE]

If I have this right, 6 SDs is 0,0001% probability. For context, we demand “5 nines” (99.999%) reliability for mission critical systems in things like IT,

[Christiana Figueres @CFigueres]

No words.

[Basil Demeroutis @Basil_FORE]

@MachinStuart1 The key learning ? When you're in a hole, stop digging. You've done more £ damage to the M&S brand through this smash-and-grab development deal masquerading as altruism for the high street than you would have made from building it. Yes we're ok with not having you as a tenant btw

[Basil Demeroutis @Basil_FORE]

See you there! Thanks @inafieldfest for organising this, an incredible line up of events not to be missed!

[TBC LONDON @tbc_lndn]

This weekend, #LondonBridge is the place to be for @inafieldfest with #sustainable activities including:
🌱Food by 10 passionate cooks @beyondfooduk
🌱50 second-hand designer makers
🌱Ecological art with artist @AlisaRuzavina.
🚲 Pedal-powered stage supported by TBC London

@therealarchie @standardnews This was never about M&S's altruism around Oxford St. With less than 20% of the building set for retail, this was a classic smash-and-grab property deal that was set to net M&S a cool £100m, more than its quarterly net income from the rest of its global operations.

[SAVE Britain's Heritage @SAVEtoReuse]

💥AMAZING NEWS!! 🎉Secretary of State rejects M&S's plan to demolish its flagship Oxford St building.

Huge victory for campaign led by SAVE Britain’s Heritage ♻️🌍

[Basil Demeroutis @Basil_FORE]

Great! Very glad to see the campaign to reject @marksandspencer’s senseless demolition of its #oxfordstreet store succeed 2day. Proof that #retrofirst & #carbon matters. Proud to have lent my voice to this alongside @SAVEBrit @ArchitectsJrnal @WHurst1 and others
