Here's something we made today in an undergraduate lecture on 'changing climate behaviour in complex systems'.
The class were asked to each think of 1 factor that affects taking international flights, 1 factor affecting that one, and draw connections to what other people added.

Journalists in Kisumu, Kenya have participated in capacity strengthening sessions on solutions journalism. The sessions were facilitated by @ScienceAfricaK and have helped to amplify the voices of waste managers in the informal settlements. #CUSSHEnrichment
Healthy Urbanism – now published – a deep dive 'why' & ‘how to’ book that reframes healthy urban development. Equity, inclusion & sustainability are centred, reversing traditional focus on individual ‘lifestyle choices’. Some theory, lots of case studies. bit.ly/3wJsm71
Join us to discuss Healthy Urbanism at the book launch.
Speakers from urban design and planning, public health and property development: @julianagyeman@KieronJBoyle@Yolande_Barnes and Iona O'Carroll
