Over the past few months and through COVID, I was part of the Vancouver Foundation's @level_vf Youth Policy Program. Today, we got to present our policy briefs to our faculty, mentors and loved ones, and celebrate the end of our YPP journey.

“A map is a snapshot of the land, at one point in history.”

In Sarawak, Indigenous communities are using mapping tech to protect their native customary lands.

My piece for @restofworld looks at why maps are important tools for Indigenous land rights:

In 2021 researchers studied why people install solar panels on their roof.

Subsidies, geography, and policy all played a role. But the biggest factor was whether a neighbor already had them on their roof.

As @MJ_Coren puts it, solar panels are contagious.

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects.

I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars.

Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy."

Several people asked if I could share the slides from our #TippingPoints conference session. So I thought I'd put them up here too.

Thanks to all who took part. I look forward to working together to grow our understanding of social movements can accelerate tipping points🧵1/n
