« Quand l’homme blanc est arrivé, il avait la Bible et nous avions la terre. L’homme blanc nous a dit : "Venez, agenouillons-nous, et prions ensemble". Quand nous avons rouvert les yeux, voilà, nous avions la Bible et il avait la terre. »
~ Archbishop #DesmondTutu, 1931-2021 #RIP

The risk of focusing only on how the world is falling behind on #ClimateAction is that we miss the innovation and momentum already happening in sectors like power, writes @topnigel, former UN #ClimateChange High-Level Champion for COP26 @RockyMtnInst context.news/net-zero/opinio…

With just two months until the pledging conference on 5th October there is no time to lose.
@NRDC is keeping track of how the pledges measure up here: nrdc.org/bio/joe-thwaites/gr…

"School was not easy for me."
Carol Greider achieved success in molecular biology in the same way she overcame dyslexia as a child: with persistence and creativity. Greider is one of many Nobel Prize laureates that have dyslexia.

I feel empowered, angry & ready for action. After @GOVUK approved Cumbria coal mine, I am on #ClimateStrike in London.
I started activism at 14. Now 18 I have learned about systemic issues & intersectional fights. It is time to bring back my education to action #FridaysForFuture
