A big change in Amsterdam's real estate game: I've noticed many more electric bikes cruising the streets in the last 2-3 years; they have become mainstream. What created something surprising: a dozen people around me started to buy/rent houses in the purple circle. Something

We can’t just AC our way out of #Climate. 🌳 provide carbon negative cooling that will help save lives, money & GHGs. #TreeEquity brings cooling & other benefits of 🌳 where needed most, and 🇺🇸 is showing the 🌎 how to do it. My take in ⁦@TIME⁩.

Making progress correcting #Forests4Climate narrative! 🙏 to @Newsweek for nuanced look at 2 new studies with insights on how to get reforestation right for #climate + #biodiversity, and giving me the chance to put these studies in correct context.

We owe @BillGates⁩ 🙏 for his leadership on #Climate. So it is with respect that I say Mr. Gates is eroding his legacy by ignoring a HUGE body of science showing how #reforestation can help. Like this from ⁦@forestservice⁩: https://t.co/hsYAiKfqUA

Who is for the trees? Anyone? Even Bill Gates has turned on the trees. With only 3 trillion of 6 trillion trees remaining who will love the trees? Who will value the 200GT of CO2 that that every trillion trees sequesters? Who will conserve them? Who will protect them? Who

We are not making progress. Face existential challenges. And need a transformative action plan. Following another - politically flat - SDG summit & NY Climate Week, here is a @TIME 100 Voices OpEd on implications of the Latest Health Check of the Planet

Finally out! 1st diagnosis of the entire Planet. All the 9 Planetary Boundaries quantified defining Our Safe Operating Space on Earth. Bad news: 6 of 9 PBs breached. Good news: Window still open, we know what to measure, we can return and we win if we do!

Transgression of planetary boundaries by human activities have now brought humanity well beyond a “safe operating space.”

Great new RMI research shows EV sales are projected to surge up to at least two thirds of total car sales this decade. By 2030, EVs are likely to be as cheap to buy - and cheaper to run - than petrol cars in every market. Read more:

Due to hundreds of uncontrolled wildfires across Canada, New York City looks like a post-apocalyptic hellscape. If you want a prelude of what the world is going to look like if we do not address man-made climate change — this is it. #ActOnClimate

The number of people displaced by conflict & drought in Somalia has reached a record high. Most of them are women & children. @UN teams in the country are working to address immediate & long-term needs. The international community must not forget this crisis.
