Reconciling climate & nature action, in times of green backlash, really can't happen if real economy actors don't weigh in But it requires strong safeguards and a clear sense of the ultimate goal: keep a liveable planet for all I'm very proud to have contributed to this project with @cisl.cam.ac.uk

Hi @politico.eu , is it on purpose you compared migrants and refugees to "trash" in today's Playbook? Wether it's insensitive, or intentionally insusting, either way that's chocking to read

Le moment est trop grave pour éparpiller l'union de la gauche qui, rappelons le, etait majoritaire lors des dernieres élections législatives legislatives en France blogs.mediapart.fr/emmanuel-zem...

There would be lots to say about the framing ("burden" in the title?Really?), and the vagueness of the prompt (which regulation? What to simplify?) My big takeaway also is the unbelievable amount of citizen replies, pushing against the idea of slashing more nature protection Is it even precendented?

Over the last few weeks, I've spoken to experts to dig into the details of the Commission's proposal for a 90% emissions reduction by 2040 For the series finale, @smorgan.bsky.social joined me to discuss what we've learnt and what happens next. Listen here: foresightmedia.com/story/sTA2kS...

"The risk of saying the wrong thing is real. But the risk of saying nothing is greater. Staying silent limits the ability of business to shape tomorrow's economy. It cedes the narrative to those who profit from breakdown and disinformation." @cisl.cam.ac.uk @climateclg.bsky.social bit.ly/3Ed4kJs

You know you live in a dystopia when the perspective of a new global outbreak sounds actually much better than the threat of upcoming nuclear war, with an historically unprecedented US-Russia coalition firing first eu.usatoday.com/story/news/h...

Qui aurait pu prédire que François Bayrou accepté les violences physiques sur les enfants?

#KendrickLamar and #SZA Paris show is soooo incredibly expensive🤑, but also it feels like an act of protest and resistance against rising fascism, so I feel treating myself with tickets is ok in the end

"We have to do what’s necessary to drive real economic transformation. Renewables revolution [happened] because innovators & policymakers disrupted the system, made clean energy better & more competitive than fossil. We need [...] similar disruption across sectors – transport, buildings, industry."

Hot damn. Lyon Metropole has reduced emissions from its buildings by 36.6% in just 4 years. That's their 2030 objective done five years early.

My son just promised me that for my birthday on Wednesday, he'll get me a submarine, an RV, a carrousel and a whale shark, and I'm slightly worried I don't have space to store all that. The shark requires a huge tank! I mean, my kid is 4, so he has to be serious about these gifts, right?

May 2025 bring you lots of light & colours and beacons of hope through cold rain 🌈💫

Adding another argument to why electric stove is superior to gas: your hot oil doesn't catch fire, leading to half burning range hood Fortunately I put the lid on time& this is the only damage in my kitchen, but oh my, burning stuff is *dangerous*! Irony is: I was cooking tofu to reduce emissions 🫠

YES it's very nerdy of me to notice that BUT - How cool is it for a testing lab to be located on a street named after Fleming?

Nommer Manuel Valls ministre des Outre-Mers, c'est vraiment ajouter l'insulte au malheur pour les Mahorais

No thing says "I'm spending the holidays in Paris" quite like a sign featuring baguette & croissant, indicating that the bakery is closed for a 2 weeks vacation 🇫🇷🎄

Never let anyone tell you "there's no use" or "it's counter-productive." There's a need for action, it has impact, and only business-as-usual profits from no action

Mayotte cyclone: health services in ruins as rescuers race to reach survivors

For the 2nd time in less than 6 months, France is left without gvt. Between geopolitics, climate crisis, massive job losses & biodiversity collapse, I don't see what could go wrong? Can we please not have the slightly reformatted version of the previous gvt again? www.francebleu.fr/infos/politi...

We need more financial actors to step up and call for more investments going into nature and biodiversity - more importantly, we need them to come up with solutions and tangible plans, demonstrating the feasibility and multiple benefits www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

How much does a cheese advent calendar scream "French living abroad"? Whatever the answer, yum (and today I gratefully discovered Tome Vaudoise)

What's not to like about this city?

Postponement & weakening of EUDR is concerning, as it opens new uncertainty & delays deforestation-free supply chains. Legal instability is bad for investment & for trust, impacting businesses & 3rd countries. Sustainability requires leadership, instead of backing away from challenges bit.ly/3ACSKWj

Europe urgently needs a well functioning Commission, between geopolitical upheaval & dramatic impacts of climate change - with tens of thousands of Europeans in dire need of help to rebuild their homes & lives, it's not as if we had time to waste on such power games www.euractiv.com/section/poli...

"It is in business’s own interests to get serious about the scale of the challenge, to reinvent business models & wider industry systems to align with a future economy in which activity that trashes the planet is banned or punished" 👀👇 www.cisl.cam.ac.uk/news/blog/pr...

"Hero projects, long term pledges and disclosures are all part of the solution but are not going to move the dial while it remains profitable to damage nature and society" Really hitting the nail on the head !
