We face a massive budget gap over the next 4 years and must take urgent steps to avoid running out of money.

Some buildings could be owned by the community through asset transfer. Give us your ideas in this quick survey (closes TOMORROW).

It’s #Financeday at #COP26 in #Scotland we’ve been arguing in Glasgow about $100Bn, it’s a lot of money but it’s a drop in the ocean of the $50Trn to make it to #NetZero “at 3 degrees warming it’s economic Armageddon and 78% of our current infrastructure is not viable.”

[Mettā Network @mettanetwork]

A new agency, new thinking, for the age of the great transition. let’s fill this ship full of incredible humans who have humanity in their heart and our grand challenges as their mission. Also the south of Scotland is stunning:) ⁦@MartinValenti1⁩ https://t.co/0ccxyhXB3j

[Mettā Network @mettanetwork]

An incredible piece of work exploring a way foward lead by DML and amazing partners @ASteiner, @UNDP and @scotgov and great to be mentioned in the @nytimes

[Dark Matter Labs @DarkMatter_Labs]

Reconfiguring our governance to deal with risks & uncertainties requires different institutional infrastructures, agile architecture for policy and regulation, new forms of legitimacy, and radical devolution of power and investment. https://t.co/9xosiuNGYV #AWayForward #COVID19

We're in an age of 'long emergencies' – unknown, uncertain futures that we need to navigate together.

"The whole mental model for the world that we’ve had, that we can plan for and act on something, has fallen apart. We can't force feed a future. Complexity is inherently unpredictable. There are patterns we just don’t know when it will repeat itself." - @M_Heffernan #DeptofDreams

This is a genius geo-political move by @10DowningStreet (don’t think I have said that in years)

No quote tweeting, but if you're a 'life coach' who's on here implying people are losers if they aren't learning a new skill/building a brand while on lockdown, maybe stop. People have challenges you know nothing about. Sometimes getting through something is more than enough.
