What leadership is not:

-Ignoring the pain of the people you serve

-Meeting peaceful protests with weapons of violence

-Demanding respect without paying respects

-Policing reactions to injustice without addressing the root causes of injustice

[Fossil Free Stanford @DivestStanford]

Our resolution in the faculty senate in support of divestment failed 11-28 (6 abstentions). We are disappointed in our faculty for not standing up for our futures, but we will keep fighting until we reach divestment!!

[The Stanford Daily @StanfordDaily]

A week after Stanford announced a school for sustainability the Faculty Senate voted against calling on the University to divest from fossil fuels.

Everest visible from Kathmandu. Incredible. How can we go back to the time of unbearable pollution now that we’ve been reminded of what it was once like?

Use public funds to recover forward, not backward. @NYUSternCSB @TensieWhelan

[NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business @NYUSternCSB]

@PaulPolman and @TensieWhelan agree.

As we rebuild after #COVID19, government subsidies should be tied to investments in #sustainability, such as creating a more secure workforce and retrofitting factories for better energy management.

[NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business @NYUSternCSB]

As we recover from #COVID19, "companies looking to rebuild sustainable, productive #supplychains must move from a transactional to a partnership approach." @TensieWhelan on the S in #ESG and prioritizing #stakeholdercapitalism

Every human being on the planet is experiencing a real crisis, together, right now, in real time. Most of us are believing the scientists, their projections and recommendations. Will this help us appreciate the climate crisis? Or will that be more than we can handle?

[Chet Van Wert @cvanwert]

Social distancing until April 30 (at least) - reminds me that "All man's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone." (Pascal) What crazy things will we all do to avoid that?

Go back 5 years and tell someone that politics ended up crazier than House of Cards and markets ended up crazier than 2008.

Where does food waste start? “The whole supply chain, including the customer—everybody wants everything in stock... So they’ll always have a little bit too much.” Is a world without trash possible? https://t.co/9veR2jiaXe via @NatGeoMag

Building a new, #sustainable #economy: we know what to do; we just have to do it. #InvestNYCSDG @NYUSternCSB @TensieWhelan

[NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business @NYUSternCSB]

$10B from @JeffBezos to fight #climatechange by funding “scientists, activists, NGOs,” but the most immediate investment need is for businesses that are ready to begin building a new #sustainableeconomy today. Read the latest from our #InvestNYCSDG team: https://t.co/zAhbst5IMY

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

Just so we're clear here, a team of economists at THE WORLD'S LARGEST FUNDER OF FOSSIL FUELS is warning that "we cannot rule out catastrophic outcomes where human life as we know it is threatened."
