Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me… 🧵 1/n #ClimateCrisis

😍 Check out this great article by @jessicaed at @nesta_uk, which features various orgs and initiatives (including us 🥳) reimagining our climate future: cloreleadership.org/provocat…. Amidst these complex & volatile planetary times, we need artists and creative practitioners more than ever, as they are interpreters, navigators, empaths and architects, seeing beyond the immediate to what lies ahead. Check out this call for a creative reimagination of what is possible👇

Definitely the most entertaining corporate sustainability film of all time. Kudos to @tim_cook & Apple for recognising the power of storytelling when it comes to climate 💚

At Apple, we believe that climate change is one of the world’s most urgent priorities and we are deeply committed to doing our part. Today we had a special guest—a real force of nature—stop by to check on our progress.

Oh Jess, how much you will be missed ❤️ Thank you for your brilliance, your generosity, your boldness. Your excellent suits, your mischievous sense of fun. What an inspiration to have worked with. What an extraordinary legacy you leave.
Yesterday morning, our dear Jess Search died peacefully in London, England, from brain cancer. She was surrounded by the love of her life Beadie Finzi, their children Ella and Ben, and friends. (1/12)
