Here's something we made today in an undergraduate lecture on 'changing climate behaviour in complex systems'.
The class were asked to each think of 1 factor that affects taking international flights, 1 factor affecting that one, and draw connections to what other people added.
Delighted to share this commentary on urban climate action by @MariaLunetto, myself and @SusanMichie. We argue that effective local action can be improved by bringing together tools from #systemsthinking and #behaviourchange fields.

In light of news of further energy price cap increases, Dr Phil Symonds (Lecturer in Machine Learning for Smart Buildings and Cities) evaluates different home energy efficiency measures and how to measure the return on insulation investment. https://t.co/SF5muSEh5w
.@flosips, @MusaAmbia & Javan Onano this morning participated in a talk show on @92Rlv on the #CUSSHEnrichment project’s public engagement with journalists, youth champions, women & youth groups in @KisumuCountyKE
Today, we join @KisumuCountyKE to take stock of the milestones of the CUSSH Enrichment project. As a public engagement study, we have engaged residents of Kisumu on sustainable waste management.
Various women groups from Nyalenda, Obung’a, Manyatta & Kondele displaying their various recycled materials contributing to reducing, reusing, recycling waste materials #CUSSHEnrichment
Journalists in Kisumu, Kenya have participated in capacity strengthening sessions on solutions journalism. The sessions were facilitated by @ScienceAfricaK and have helped to amplify the voices of waste managers in the informal settlements. #CUSSHEnrichment
Healthy Urbanism – now published – a deep dive 'why' & ‘how to’ book that reframes healthy urban development. Equity, inclusion & sustainability are centred, reversing traditional focus on individual ‘lifestyle choices’. Some theory, lots of case studies. https://t.co/mTlV526Bki
Join us to discuss Healthy Urbanism at the book launch.
Speakers from urban design and planning, public health and property development: @julianagyeman@KieronJBoyle@Yolande_Barnes and Iona O'Carroll

In this article published in the #BMJ (@bmj_latest), we argue for systematic large scale monitoring of indoor air to avoid unintended harms to health from home energy efficiency programmes
