What a voice! What a band! Huge tunes. @MissMargoPrice at @LondonLafayette this weekend. In many years of gig going this was one of the very best. Hope it’s not another 6 years before she’s back in the UK.
It's getting real now! The first of our #UCLEast staff inductions at #EastBank, against the backdrop of our fabulous new @UCL campus in the Olympic Park.

Where are we after #COP26? In this episode of the #UCLGenerationOne podcast @helenczerski hears from UCL experts @profkatejones, @pritiparikh73 and Ryan Phillip on the key takeaways and what the problem is with western countries causing damage and expecting others to fix it.
"The issue of climate justice will be unavoidable for rich countries… who is responsible and who should pay for the consequences of climate change can no longer be ignored" says Prof Lisa Vanhala @CCLAD1@uclspp@UCLSocHistSci#COP26#UCLGenerationOne https://t.co/t5Bp7TaskT
The latest text on a proposed deal at #COP26 is an "important staging post" meaning "we can ratchet up pledges from countries every year - it was never going to happen in one meeting - to slowly help everybody decarbonise" @ProfMarkMaslin tells @adamboultonSKY#UCLGenerationOne
"The UK, the small island nations & some of the least developed countries are all pushing for more ambition. It's a trust thing - that we in the developed world ARE going to help poorer nations decarbonise." @ProfMarkMaslin@BBCBreakfast as #COP26 talks continue #UCLGenerationOne
#COP26 Draft Glasgow declaration - very depressing
1. All mentions of fossil fuels deleted
2. Temperature target below 2°C - little mention of 1.5°C
3. $100 billion promise will not be met
4. New NDCs for COP27 and annual NDCs not mentioned in text
Signs from #COP26 that rich nations are finally ending the deadlock over the US$100bn a year promised to help nations on the frontline of climate change deal with global warming & compensate for damage done, have been welcomed by UCL's Prof @JacquieMcGlade#UCLGenerationOne
Taxing the super-rich to pay for the energy transition has the big benefit of also squeezing the colossal emissions from their colossal consumption. Makes the transition affordable, fair and easier to achieve. What’s not to like?
