In conversation with Katherine Trebeck (a less than infrequent X user) and Nicholas Frank - discussing the “3 P’s” needed for change: Policies, Practices and Paradigms. To me, paradigms are key in transformative change. We need a bigger and broader vision outside of the traditional economic priorities.

Katherine Trebeck (a less than infrequent X user) answers Ed Jegasothy’s fantastic question regarding the elephant in the room: tax reform. Governments can advance the agenda with this critical lever. Not bailing out firms who use tax havens and focusing on capital based taxes instead of labour are key

@JennClapp straight to the point as always: food systems have been undermined long before the war in Ukraine. High concentration - in both agri-food firms and exporting countries - driven by profit and power, give significant leverage to maintaining the status quo.

Great insights from Megan Arthur on lack if attention to health equity by governments in their climate mitigation policies #HothouseSymposium

Only 1% of terms in government climate mitigation reports are about the social determinants find Megan Arthur and colleagues. The level of democracy in a country is positively associated with equity language. Very insightful at #HothouseSymposium
