“To be clear, the centralized grid we have today will certainly not disappear – in fact, it also needs to grow in size – but it will be consumed by networks of decentralized assets growing around it.” a16z.com/decentralizing…

Post-growth economics got a rare moment in the spotlight tonight, in the fiendish TV quiz show University Challenge - but the contestants didn't get any of them right! Could you have scored those points for your team? Test yourself on the 3 questions they were asked below . . .

Out of respect Dr Auma Obama , Bestselling Author, Founder & Chairwomen, Sauti Kuu Foundation Foundation #Kenya 🇰🇪 gives her opening speech at the #betd24 partly in german and states: 'Our partnerships, are they real ? Are these partnerships where we actually talk to eachother on an equal…

.Shrayana B is spot on here: 'feminising” India doesn't mean counting women in power or valorising women achieving glory, but moving away from the brute language of glory or power towards a paradigm of care and deliberative empathy. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

The #colonialism and #ClimateChange connection

High time our #MacroEconomic system got an update! So glad to see this 💚

My message at today’s World Economic Forum session on climate and nature: pull back on harmful fossil fuel subsidies and use those resources for climate action. With action, we can leave a heathy planet to our children and grandchildren. #wef24

1/2. “What they are putting in the #LossAndDamage Fund is peanuts. It's so little. It's like a mosquito...Developing countries need at least $400bn (USD) a year to address #LossAndDamage . We need to push for this.” Wanun Permpibul of Climate Watch Thailand and APWLD via ESCR-Net / Red-DESC.

🚨IMPORTANT🚨:The new text on the #LossAndDamage Fund has seen #HumanRights DELETED🤯ahead of fifth meeting ( #TC5 ) of the Transitional Committee of the #LossAndDamage Fund.

📢The #ClimateCrisis is a #HumanRights crisis, a #LossAndDamage Fund without #HumanRights is unacceptable!

Denmark insists on bringing back #HumanRights references in the governance text of the #LossAndDamage Fund.

#COP28

A legacy to remember. 💚

His indomitable spirit and determination to champion #LossandDamage discourse to amplify voices unheard is unparalleled.

RIP sir ❤️

Fun fact: in what is kind of the most excellent coincidence I have ever seen, today's economics laureate Claudia Goldin has a new NBER working paper out this morning called 'Why Women Won.'

(This really presumably is a coincidence because not only is it not possible to…

What if we reimagined our #economy with #care ?

What an important body of work!
