Thank you to Sophie Howe Future Gen Cymru for a brilliant lecture this morning DCU Institute for Climate & Society. Key message: We're really bad at thinking long-term. This has led us into the #climatecrisis and has allowed intergenerational poverty to persist. But...

What keeps you awake at night and what gives you hope? Exploring the Four (floor) Lenses for Ireland with IDEN at #earthrising festival IMMA What gives people hope…? Community and connection and amplifying the change that’s possible ✊🏼

📽️ Watch the lecture DCU Institute for Climate & Society by Future Generations Commissioner for Wales Sophie Howe. She speaks about the pitfalls of short-term thinking, building a movement, and acting as the conscience of future generations. Future Gen Cymru youtu.be/l40vqwt4z7c

The importance, be it from a historical or research standpoint, should not be underestimated. evergreentrinity.com/2022/10/25/the…

#ClimateChange is one of the top 5 direct drivers of #BiodiversityLoss. 🌡️🌿 👇 See this #dataviz created by @ipcc_ch author Ed Hawkins showing how exceptional the last decades are compared to the last millennium.🔴

The KEY question, I'm asked by students when I guest lecture about the #ClimateCrisis is 'but what can we do?' So I recently rewrote my materials to try & tackle that question head on. Feel free to adapt them. Buckle up - here's a LONG thread🧵about how we can fight back!

Fantastic morning Trinity College Botanic Garden discussing #sustainability in research, education, and operations. As well as wonderful plants 🌳, it has a seed bank 🌱, like @NBGGlasnevin amp.rte.ie/amp/1333060/ And a wormery 🪱

New OECD report on tipping points should frighten everyone. “Recent state-of-the-art research shows that important tipping points are already ‘possible’ at current levels of warming and may become ‘likely’ within the Paris Agreement range of 1.5 to 2°C warming…”

Here we go again... The top 4 - and 6 of the top 10 - most severe risks in the coming decade identified by governments and business leaders in the World Economic Forum 2023 Global Risk Report relate to #climate and #nature. www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Globa…

This is an absolutely astounding piece of work by dedicated botanists working to document Ireland and Britain’s changing flora via a plant census and maps on species distribution.

Stop telling us to “be moderate.” Stop telling us to “be patient.” Stop telling us to “work within the system” and “accept change in increments.” This place we know and love is in peril. Catastrophe is unfolding before our very eyes. We are losing earth. Don’t you see?
