Looking back to @wwattribution.bsky.social studies in 2025 showed again, in stark terms, how unfairly the consequences of human-induced climate change are distributed. The world does not have to be like this, we have a lot of agency to make it better. www.worldweatherattribution.org/unequal-evid...

I went to this workshop yesterday, which was brilliantly facilitated. My humble opinion is that workshops like this are sorely needed in #Eastbourne area, so if anybody would like to work with me on organising to make them more available locally, please message me.

Yesterday one of our partners, Energise Sussex Coast, ran a fab workshop in #Eastbourne based on The Work That Reconnects Network, to help develop inner resilience to crises like #ClimateBreakdown. Would anybody else locally wish to attend a repeat of this workshop or learn more about the network?
