A really important piece of work released today on #carbon #offsetting best practice. We need tools like this to put the cost of emissions back onto those firms causing them in the first place, and level the playing field for those of us operating buildings at #NetZero

💥AMAZING NEWS!! 🎉Secretary of State rejects M&S's plan to demolish its flagship Oxford St building. Huge victory for campaign led by SAVE Britain’s Heritage ♻️🌍 #SAVEMandSOxfordSt #SAVEcampaigns

Great! Very glad to see the campaign to reject M&S’s senseless demolition of its #oxfordstreet store succeed 2day. Proof that #retrofirst & #carbon matters. Proud to have lent my voice to this alongside @SAVEBrit Architects’ Journal @WHurst1 and others #buildingforeward

See you there! Thanks InaFieldbyaBridge for organising this, an incredible line up of events not to be missed!

If I have this right, 6 SDs is 0,0001% probability. For context, we demand “5 nines” (99.999%) reliability for mission critical systems in things like IT,

My comment on today’s announcement

This is what we need – a spiritual and cultural shift in the way we relate to the natural world. Waging war on the Earth’s life-support system is mindbogglingly foolish. theguardian.com/world/2023/aug…

Scary to see what is happening at Eath's poles. Antarctic sea ice has broken record minimums in summer for three of the past seven years. #climatechange #ClimateCrisis bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

Roughing it at the FORE Partnership office today. #fridays #dogdays #futureofrealestate

Greater probability that you will win the $1.4 bn Powerball lottery that we would experience the September global temperature spike that we've seen. Some scary data this year. #globalwarming #climatecrisis bit.ly/3rApdrP

Updated CycleStreets collision data for 2022. Here’s High Street Kensington, just for that period, reported collisions only, on the section Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea are doing literally nothing for 🚲 safety because it would “take too long”. It’s a disgrace. bikedata.cyclestreets.net/collisions:fie…

.Aurélien Collignon joined REDO, @PRD_tweets & DC Sustainability to debate local #carbonoffset funds. “With support from the private sector, public authorities could be empowered to structure local carbon offset funds & enable all stakeholders to achieve their carbon & social commitments”.

What a difference 2 years makes. Let's hope Rt Hon Lord Alok Sharma and the many others still at the #COP28 negotiating table can get a final position that still "keeps 1.5 alive".

Net zero economy grew by 9% in 2023, with 1,000s of new green companies formed, £74bn in size, 765,000 jobs. Doing good and doing well are not at odds with one another increasingly they are essential to one another. #buildingFOREward #futureofrealestate theguardian.com/environment/20…

A key milestone, something to celebrate, >30% of world’s electricity produced by renewables last year, a crucial turning point. Solar +23%, fossil fuels flat(ish). China was 50% of solar growth. Still, a 2% growth in overall energy use. via @ember_energy ember-climate.org/insights/resea…

Gen Zs have poor spiritual health - a sense of self-purpose, connection to something larger than oneself. 3x worse than baby boomers, for eg. McKinsey & Company survey of 41,000 people in 26 countries. These are your new employees. #mentalhealth #buildingFOREward mck.co/3KeKvki
