Attended the Greening the Screen showcase in Cardiff yesterday. Particularly enjoyed seeing a preview of Who Gives a F**k About Polar Bears? by Gavin Porter - a short film exploring climate stories from a working class perspective. ffilmcymruwales.com/news-and-eve... @ffilmcymruwales.bsky.social

Thanks for sharing @brionylatter.bsky.social. We need to normalise this conversation and break the habit. We need to reframe how we do adventure, which for us, makes a lot of sense for both planet and simply having more fun!

Travel has a huge climate impact but driving isn't the only way to explore the outdoors. I recently had a running holiday in Assynt, the remote north west of Scotland, traveling from Cardiff by train and bus. Required good planning and researching local services (very grateful for 'Dial-a-bus'!)

New climate change campaign #Adapt2Win launched by elite athletes around the world in the run up to COP30 calling for climate adaptation investment. Fantastic to see climate action from athletes including several from the UK - Beth Mead, Keira Walsh, Laura Crane, Raheem Sterling. www.adapt2win.org

Wanting to be part of change but feeling overworked and disempowered: Researchers’ perceptions of climate action in UK universities Big study published last year which I realised I hadn't shared properly here (was before joining Bluesky). Article ➡️ doi.org/10.1371/jour... Some key findings... /1

24/ We must recognize that at present the #ClimateEmergency declarations of universities are mostly rhetorical. As @brionylatter.bsky.social & @stucap.bsky.social have argued in their research looking into this:

Do you think your MP is aware of the full implications of the climate crisis, across health, national security, food security and our economy? Ask them to attend the first National Emergency Briefing on 27 Nov: www.nebriefing.org

I find AI concerning for several reasons, so was interested to read these two reports about (1) news integrity in AI assistants and (2) audience use/perceptions of them. The reports are long but easy to read and have visuals! Also some climate change examples. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Not work related but I've written a blog for @flightfreeuk.bsky.social about my recent holiday (by train) to Spain! Travel is a key research area in @cast-centre.bsky.social and I often think about how to have low-carbon travel conversations, so was really pleased to be asked to write this.

“Every time they put a microphone next to you, there’s always a chance to talk about issues, to just generate conversation […] I can raise my voice” Great to hear this from Hector Bellerin, one of the recipients of the BBC Green Sport Awards 2025 announced yesterday. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Brilliant short video from @veronicaawhite.bsky.social who cycled across England to meet women in farming communities for her research about climate change and the future of farming.

🚀 Britain Talks Climate & Nature has landed! Tell a new climate story, based on what 7,000+ people across England, Scotland and Wales really think and feel about climate and nature right now. 👉 Discover the research & toolkit: climateoutreach.org/btc/2025/ 🙏 Thanks to @moreincommonuk.bsky.social

Happy to share our new research on UK climate politics 🚨 We found Members of Parliament (MPs) use the language of climate "pragmatism" to avoid rapid change. It risks becoming a new discourse of delay. More detail below and in 🧵 1/ theconversation.com/politicians-...

COMING SOON: Britain Talks Climate & Nature! We're launching brand new, in depth insights on what Brits think and feel about climate and nature in 2025, alongside a communications toolkit to help you put them into practice. Sign up for the launch webinar now: climateoutreach.org/btc2025_laun...

This looks like a fantastic event! I will certainly try to attend online if not able to go in person. I remember seeing @georgemonbiot.bsky.social and @climategeorge.bsky.social discussing climate change at an in-person Guardian live event back in 2015 (yikes, 10 years ago!)

We are proud to see our first-ever CAST briefing on the subject of sport, “I would be laughed out the stadium”: How to break climate silence in British football", shortlisted for the #SportPositiveAwards25 in the Research of the Year category. 👏 awards.sportpositivesummit.com/shortlist-20...

Lots of helpful and practical points here! Also a great article in @thierryaaron.bsky.social's thread below to a short and easy to read article by @abiperrin.bsky.social & colleagues exploring in more detail how scientists can contribute to social movements on climate and nature.

Help please 😁. I’m co-designing a new module for 3rd year psychology undergrads on “The Psychology of Sustainability”. I’d love to hear your advice and ideas for making it extra-brilliant by way of: themes, content, essential references, resources, materials.

Great new resources from my colleagues @cast-centre.bsky.social! ➡️ Policy maker/work in climate policy context? This is for you Short, easy to read briefing paper about strengthening evaluation of public engagement with climate change, drawing on work w/ Welsh Government bsky.app/profile/cast...

Fantastic article. “While driving had been habitual for most participants, going car free disrupted their routines and participants’ positive experiences raised their capacity to become less reliant on their cars” But, some found a lack of travel infrastructure and services impeded car free travel

Thrilled to see this important research out in the world! 🚶‍♀️🌆 We loved being part of the project exploring how bold street experiments can help build car-free, people-friendly cities. Find out more👇

Yesterday me & @wouterpoortinga.bsky.social held Academics as Agents of Change, a @cast-centre.bsky.social event at Cardiff Uni exploring climate action in universities, specifically by academics. 🧵 Great thread from @thierryaaron.bsky.social below with photos, key points and links from the event.

I'm excited for this afternoon's @cast-centre.bsky.social workshop at @cardiffuni.bsky.social on "Academics as Agents of Change" organised by @brionylatter.bsky.social I'll be live tweeting as we go... 🧵

Great to see that Climate Reframe has been relaunched and there's an accompanying webinar this afternoon! If you haven't come across Climate Reframe before, it's a really helpful directory of UK climate experts from diverse backgrounds. lu.ma/sx12c683

Always wonderful to meet up with my @cast-centre.bsky.social colleagues in person! Loved hearing about all the great work everyone is doing and having some time to discuss new ideas.

I'm up on the Garth all the time as it's my local hill for fell running - sad news about the fire earlier in the week. And another fire this week on Sugar Loaf (near Abergavenny) though thankfully it was out and just smoking when I ran there on Tuesday...

Great to see the Climate Change Committee (CCC) calling for public figures to “lead by example” on climate change, citing our research. CCC says leading by example increases public buy-in and behaviour change @thecccuk.bsky.social 🚨So, we've made this new infographic showing how it works... 🧵
