@courtghoward @TheLancetPlanet A huge thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and expertise on #planetaryhealth and #changemaking, @courtghoward! I certainly enjoyed the great outdoors vicariously through you during our conversation!

Just another example for why we cannot talk about the #environment without talking about #equity

@MoritzKoch_ Paperlapap. Anschnallen tun sich ja auch die meisten aus Sorge um ihre Gesundheit. Warum also nicht auch ein bisschen langsamer fahren?

#Tempolimit nicht irgendwann. Sondern jetzt.
Ein perfektes Beispiel dafür, dass Wissen und Forschung noch lange nicht zu wirkungsvollen Regelungen führen. Oder gibt es irgendein wissenschaftlich fundiertes Argument gegen das Tempolimit? 🤔🤨

Ein #Tempolimit kann bis zu 3,7 Mrd. Liter #Benzin und #Diesel sparen, die Spritrechnung um mehrere Milliarden Euro drücken und die Ölimporte aus #Russland deutlich senken. Unterstützt die Aktion Tempolimit von der @Umwelthilfe.

'Rebellion' and 'Scientist' are not two mutually exclusive constructs! One can be completely objective about one's research and still take a clear stance on what must be done based on that science.

[Scientist Rebellion @ScientistRebel1]

When Scientist Rebellion started in 2020 we were just 2 people

In 2021, for our first global rebellion, we were over 100

This April we will be over 1000

Die UNO hat das Menschenrecht auf eine saubere, gesunde und nachhaltige Umwelt anerkannt! Ein historischer Tag für die Menschenrechte und die Umwelt!!!
43 Stimmen für die Resolution 4 Enthaltungen keine Gegenstimmen.

A little bit of joyful emotion at the very staid Human Rights Council, as the UN for the first time recognizes the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment! (Mask was only off for a moment!)

Voices from all over the world issue an urgent call to action. Humanity's survival depends on the health of the planet. Consider signing and sharing The São Paulo Declaration on Planetary Health https://t.co/bkHjBPFT2o

Ich habe riesige Angst um die Zukunft meiner Tochter, wenn sie in einer Welt aufwächst, in der wir nichts gegen die #klimakrise unternehmen. Am 26.09. Klimaschutz wählen! #Bundestagswahl21

What's an academic's role in the #climatecrisis? Check out our article hot off the press @TheLancetPlanet!
@amandagiang @ubcires, Paul Kershaw @ubcspph, and I argue it is time we embrace realpolitik insights to move our evidence into policy action. https://t.co/1uJGEWlW1l
