Deep humanitarian underresourcing in Somalia & Niger after a four year drought. Seasons rains have not come again & children are dying in masses. This is but a glimpse of a future warming planet, coupled with radical wealth inequality. We must be better than this & must do MORE.

If you need some perspective this AM, consider this podcast w real world hero Mary-Ellen McGroarty. The unrelenting brightness in this remarkable woman’s voice, considering the abject travesty of the regions & individuals shes served, is testament to the best of the human spirit.

Nearly one in 11 people around the world go to bed hungry each night. Hunger is a crisis driven largely by conflict, climate change, and chronic inequality.

Companies like @Microsoft are being proactive on their sustainability journeys, developing and enacting internal polices before government requirements. Great podcast on examples of how companies are pricing carbon emissions voluntarily.

Last year, I walked out of a lush rainforest onto a sun-baked, degraded pasture & made a split decision to again give up beef. Haven't missed it a bit! Instead I get hits of joy when I remember! If you can't quit, at least be judicious & STUDY UP, folks.

In most sectors, Scope3 emissions avg 3-4x that of Scope1 & 2, & if included are oft under-reported by 80%. In closing the global emissions gap, companies who assume more leadership for Scope 3 will take much bigger strides than those who view it as a responsibility to b shirked.

In contrast, the UN @globalcompact SBTi @sciencetargets initiative requires NetZero commitments to at minimum set scope 3 reductions in line with the percentage reduction of absolute GHG emissions required at a global level over the target timeframe.

Dear headscratchers: scroll down. "All net-zero references in this announcement apply to emissions from oil sands operations (defined as scope 1 & scope 2 emissions)." Scope 3 (up & downstream emissions) -ie in the use of the oil itself, are not included. #thedevilsinthedetails.

Preparing work groups in advance for 'layered ambivalence' and designing strategies to parse brainstorms, data, exchanges, interventions, and metrics can help folks tie their collective-action to outcome more efficiently. & w less frustration among peers. 3/.
