Honest question USA friends — what happens from here? I am concerned for you and globally. How can you/we get a step ahead and minimize any harm on the horizon caused by the Republican Party handlers? 💰🛢️🍊 #peace #strongertogether #elbowsup #unity #noplanetb #usa #republican #GOP #demoncrat #trumptax

“Modern money is backed by confidence in it” - #MarkCarney in his Value(s) (2021) @mark-carney.bsky.social #elbowsup #canadianstrong #bettertogether #wegotthis #equalityforall #SDG #canada

DEI rollbacks in the U.S. echo the struggles of LGBTQ+ individuals in the 1950s Lavender Scare, when thousands lost jobs due to systemic discrimination. Today’s cuts strip talented groups of protections, but hope for a more inclusive future keeps us rising after every setback. #DEI #community

Finished reading the book Value(s) by #MarkCarney — I am impressed with Carney’s accomplishments, education, and values (economic, ecological, and social). We have a tremendous opportunity to give him a strong agenda and pitch in. #vote #canadastrong #elbowsup

Fellow Canadians 🇨🇦 — an import ask. Please vote. It’s so important that we show up and bring as many friends and family as possible. #elbowsup #electionscanada #MarkCarney #iamcanadian #sustainability

Anyone with tips using AI- #Perplexity for nutrition plan? I use AI sparingly. I’m recording my food/drink this week — plugging it in next weekend w plant based preferences. I run & CrossFit so into performance & health plan. Any learning suggestions welcomed! (Seeing a pro nutritionist in summer)

We have been poor custodians to Mother Earth and it is our duty to step up climate action right now.

So much opportunity to be had in every community and nation. While we transition the grid to green energy, it’s not enough to secure a livable future for our children and many currently. We have the knowledge for a sustainable world. So many are doing the amazing work that unites us🌍 #climatechange

António Guterres reminds us of the triple planetary crisis we are living in - with the threats of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, pollution and waste - enhancing urgency for climate action and the need for countries to recover better together.

73% environmental grads work outside sector. NASEM’s 2025 workforce report calls for curriculum reform.

A large portion of my family work as farmers and fishers. This idea touches my heart deeply. 🫶 “Waste is only a resource in the wrong place." Communities are the key to a thriving future. -> youtu.be/wZ9l7ekJMO8?... #innovation #climateAction

“We need to waste nothing.”With this, comes tremendous opportunity. Synthetic fibers have been found in an alarmingly large amount of human blood samples. Innovation in clothing is happening now. Thrift and quality first. And demand change and it will happen fast! youtu.be/_08jLhNaGMo?...

Kalundborg achieves 90% waste reuse. EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan benchmarks progress. →

More of this please 🇨🇦 canada! 👏 while our 🇨🇦 C02 emissions per person is as high as the average 🇺🇸, and the 🇺🇸 pulled out of the Paris Agreement, the world has to make-up for them for the next 4 years(+?). Global standard of living impacted but we can do this! climateinstitute.ca/investing-in...

If you want to understand the growing interest of the UnitedStates in Greenland and Canada, you need to shift your perspective-literally. Look at the world from the top down, from the Arctic. It is becoming a central arena where environmental change, economic interest, and global strategy converge.

Tropical forests = 33% needed climate mitigation but get 3% funding. Boreal forests/km² store 2x Amazon’s carbon. Let’s fund nature’s solutions 🌍 🔗 buff.ly/Yc3PkIc

The Paris Agreement is our best hope to combat climate change! It unites nations in limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. But action is key—emissions must peak before 2025 and drop 43% by 2030. Are we on track? Let’s hold leaders accountable. Learn more: UNFCCC Paris Agreement

The NDC Partnership is a global initiative to accelerate climate and development action -- ensuring countries have the support and tools they need to achieve ambitious climate and sustainable development targets as fast and effectively as possible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRL_...

The DestinE project creates a digital twin – a virtual Earth that simulates natural processes and human activity. Observing such replicas can help to understand and anticipate climate change, as well as shape policies to mitigate extreme climate-related risks to society.

The latest measurements are in: CO2 concentration has reached 421.73 ppm in 2024—the highest in human history and 50% above pre-industrial levels. 2024 was officially the hottest year on record, with temperatures 1.28°C above the 20th-century average. Found out more: buff.ly/KAry7mG

🚨 Scientists warn that we’re running out of time to stay within a safe carbon budget. Exceeding it means irreversible climate damage. What can we do? ✅ Transition to renewable energy ✅ Cut fossil fuel subsidies ✅ Support climate policies 📖 More here:

We used to regard many areas as too essential to the public good to be commercialized; they were protected by tradition and regulation. Now, everything is becoming fair game -- land, oceans, air, water, education, health, energy and social assistance. Where do we draw the line?

Oil money investment in the USA president has paid off — the new mission statement for the EPA doesn’t protect the environment. open.substack.com/pub/morethan...

Challenges in transitioning towards lower carbon: Governance are challenged by the presence of giant corporations, often with operations across national jurisdictions with power to advance their interests. Out of the top 30 global entities in terms of revenue, 1/3 are corporations.-> buff.ly/Jw0euAR

Humanity’s Ecological Footprint exceeds Earth’s biocapacity. Humans use as many ecological resources as if we lived on almost two Earths. This erodes our planet's health and humanity's prospects. WWF Living Planet Report 2022 buff.ly/Eu1MCnV

The UNDP has also come up with a five-step framework to help guide countries in planning and implementing just transitions. Just transitions are complex processes that should apply a whole-of-society approach, ensuring that all voices are heard. View:

If you're frustrated with the world, you're not alone. But frustration without action keeps things the same. Turn frustration into fuel. Get involved with your local community is the best first step into action.

A just transition is one that is managed in such a way that environmental sustainability, as well as decent work, social inclusion and poverty eradication, are ensured. This is what the Paris Agreement requires. Watch:

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. - Arundhati Roy

In 2015, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has developed guidelines for a just transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all. A just transition requires strong institutional arrangements and policy coherence. Read more: buff.ly/YOfuBET

Belgians challenge local governments climate policies: In 2021, three subnational governments had breached their duty of care under the Civil Code by failing to take necessary measures to prevent the harmful effects of climate change and comply with their mitigation targets. buff.ly/DC0uQvH

Fifty days as president, Trump has delivered another blow to climate action-this time, by pulling the US out of the Loss and Damage Fund. The fund, a hard-fought victory at COP28, was meant to provide financial support to climate-vulnerable nations dealing with the devastation of climate change.
