@ChrisGPackham @jackseale @guardian @mediaguardian @ContentProper @Channel4 For balance @ChrisGPackham you are a wonderful human which I guessed already but was also confirmed recently when my husband (cameraman) worked with you and said you were brilliant with a rare combination of kindness and professionalism. Keep fighting!

Thank you @CarolineLucas for your support and well done to @madeleinetl_ my brilliant colleague for leading the comms for the young Portuguese people demanding a liveable future. All eyes on Strasbourg later this month.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

This could be big. 6 young people from Portugal are taking 32 European countries (inc UK) to court, demanding national climate policies in line with human rights. Young people deserve a liveable future – it's time Govts worked towards creating one. @Y4CJ_

Proud to #queuefornature today alongside many other business leaders recognising there is no way for business to thrive without the natural world.

[Better Business Act @betterbizact]

The size of the queue demonstrates that businesses want the government to take action. Businesses can’t thrive without climate and nature.

@zoescaman I did exactly this too. My sons are now 8 and 10 and at my old school. It feels strange sometimes but also strangely calming.

[Jo Swift @swiftbyname]

Yes @CFigueres! #stubbornoptimism

[Outrage + Optimism @OutrageOptimism]

As we reach the end of the year, @CFigueres reminds us:
- Society is on an upwards trajectory
- The technology, science, finance & policies to solve #climatechange do exist
- We are capable of bringing them together - we can do this
Any reminders to add?

‘You can not negotiate with nature’ thank you @Ayishas12 for reliving your heartbreak on a public stage for your family, and for our planet 🌍

[Ayisha Siddiqa @Ayishas12]

I delivered this poem at the 11th hour of the conference of parties. Loss and damage means unbelievable loss. We can not come back from the loss of culture. There will come a time when no amount of dollars will be able to bring back what we’ve lost and broken.

Sharing from another stubborn optimist #COP27, a cop take on reasons to feel positive

[Arthur Wyns @ArthurWyns]

In the spirit of stubborn optimism, I'm crowdsourcing a list of COP-firsts.

#COP27 was far from perfect (and that's an understatement!) but some pretty incredible things did happen for the first time ever (please add!)
