In June, for the first time ever, solar was the largest source of power in the EU.

Cool job! The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security is looking for an experienced and enthusiastic research fellow to lead its climate portfolio and advance the mission of centering women in all global policy and debates on climate change.

Former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate, is campaigning on an energy platform that supports robust renewable development and continued use, as needed, of natural gas.

“As governments... around the world consider responses to economic uncertainty, climate change, and digital disruption, it is essential that Africa – a continent of 1.4 billion people and home to some of the greatest untapped opportunities in green energy and innovation – is not left behind.”

Pbs should hire Colbert to do the late show but have it as a pbs passport only show.

Cancel Paramount+ and give that $ to PBS/NPR.

My latest at Quitting Carbon: You've likely heard about the boom in so-called balcony solar in Germany. I recently spoke with Meghan Wood, co-founder of Raya Power, a startup working to bring that kind of small modular solar to market here in the U.S. www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/bringing-sma... 🔌💡

Trump & GOP's Big Beautiful Bill will lead to big greenhouse gas increase, according to four separate emissions modeling firms. House & Senate versions lead to 8-12% increase in 2035 greenhouse gases relative to projected Inflation Reduction Act levels. www.scientificamerican.com/article/repu...

READ @antoniajuhasz.bsky.social: An EPA employee confided with me that the result will surely be that more people get sick and die. “There’s no way that couldn’t happen,” she tells me. “There’s just no way, scientifically, that there won’t be an increase.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Solid Sunday read via author @csafina.bsky.social in NYT "As individuals, we cannot always formulate the full fix. But we can be a part of a movement to forge one. And I believe a fix to correct the depredations of the White House’s current occupant is coming."

Helpful, succinct overview of ecocide - "an act of violence which is to nature as genocide is to people" - and the campaign to establish it as a crime under international law By @damiengayle.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm delighted to share that my dear friend, Kathy Eldon, has released her inspiring new book. This award-winning filmmaker, author, and activist has poured her wisdom into creating a creative and courageous companion for navigating life’s wild terrain. Highly recommend! kathyeldon.com/boundless

So wonderful to talk with President of Iceland Halla Tómasdóttir about the need for more women in politics in a fireside chat at a screening of the film “The Day Iceland Stood Still” at the Scandinavia House in NYC yesterday.

The new math: 2 +2 ≠ 4. And power plant emissions don't contribute to climate change.

I am reading (and loving!) a book gifted to me by one of my co-founders of @projdandelion.bsky.social, Ronda Carnegie. These simple yet profound stories frame a worldview that is distinctly different from the ones at the roots of so many of our global challenges. I urge you to gift it to yourself!

🔥 Must read interview with @frediotto.bsky.social, the attribution scientist who has a great new book that just came out: “Climate Injustice: Why We Need to Fight Global Inequity to Combat Climate Change” #womenleadclimate (@projdandelion.bsky.social)

This new report assesses women’s power and influence in the US, comprehensively analyzing the economic security and well-being, health and safety, civic engagement and political inclusion, and public policy and legal protections for women in each state futureforwardwomen.org/wp-content/u...

“@projdandelion.bsky.social’s mission resonates deeply with me. Like the dandelion, our work may start small and quietly, but it spreads with purpose —pushing through concrete systems and planting hope wherever it lands.” - Lynne Odiwa, Nature's Best Green Culture in Kenya 💚

Three Steps to Better Climate Conversations with Katharine Hayhoe via Sightline Institute #climatesecurity #climatesolutions (www.sightline.org/2018/07/05/t...)

What makes climate personal to you? This Earth Month, we asked — you answered. From clean air to future generations, dogs to grandkids, your words remind us what’s at stake and why we keep going. Earth Month may be over, but this work continues every day.

👏 Congratulations to director Angela Patton and the whole team from the "Daughters" documentary, which was just awarded with a 2025 @peabodyawards.bsky.social Award! Last year, I asked Angela to guest post on my blog after the film premiered at Sundance. Here's what she wrote:

Thrilled to moderate the @projdandelion.bsky.social panel “Women, climate, and the nature of power” with Trish Malloch Brown, Lyana Latorre (@rockefellerfdn.bsky.social), Maria Lopez, Vasser Seydel and Adriana Soto at the Women Working For The World Forum this week. #ww4w2025 #MujeresUnidas

If you celebrated the first Earth Day in 1970, this group has a message for you: Your work isn’t done. Last year, we spoke with two leaders from the organization Third Act about the important role of older adults in the climate movement.

@msmagazine.com: “Nearly 90% of Us Want Climate Action. What’s Stopping Us?” By @patmitchellmedia.bsky.social Despite overwhelming global support for bold climate solutions, a dangerous gap between public will and political action persists. #The89Percent

I am thrilled to see this year-long initiative from @coveringclimatenow.org that aims to shine light on #The89Percent of people worldwide who want their governments to take action. The voices of this “silent majority” are often missing from media coverage and political debates.

Important new project from @coveringclimatenow.org centers on the fact that most people on earth want climate action now! 89percent.org

Now more than ever, we need to be able to talk about the climate crises with folks who don't know what to believe. Join us for "Don't Say Climate? Bridging Divides" with Katharine Hayhoe on April 30th at 8pm Eastern/ 5pm Pacific www.eventbrite.com/e/dont-say-c...

Mayor Mondale Robinson envisions a day when Black people in his community are able to live a life of pride, freedom, and economic stability. He believes solar, a weatherization resource center, and a gleaming new resilience hub will play a central role. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

I joined Christiana Figueres for a special International Women’s Day episode on her well-names podcast, Outrage + Optimism. Listen here!

“A crucial truth: the only power that Trump, Musk, etc. have is the power to give orders—they don't do much of anything else themselves. The other 300 million of us have the power to not obey them and to support and encourage others who don't.” www.meditationsinanemergency.com/people-get-r...

Get Together. Get Inspired. From #IWD to #EarthDay, @projdandelion.bsky.social has partnered with Doc Society and Kinema to offer free screenings of MRS ROBINSON around the world. Join us and sign up to host a watch party for your community. Learn more + plan a party: kinema.com/films/mrs-ro...

“I'm horrified by what the Trumpists are doing and by the moral ugliness of it; but I'm moved and exhilarated by what a whole lot of the rest of us are doing, and the moral beauty of it. The horror and the wonder can coexist, just as the worst and best of us do.” @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

On this International Women's Day, sharing a hopeful message from myself and the great TEDWomen founder @patmitchellmedia.bsky.social from our #TEDNext conversation about leadership. Let's all join forces to plan, support, and DO something! Let your voices be heard. www.ted.com/talks/lynda_...

Some folks have asked, given recent news, “how do I show my friends/family the impact of NSF?” We have some easy Fact Sheets for you! Here’s a brief thread about this website: new.nsf.gov/about/fact-s... which hosts a ton of useful one-pagers.

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

I interviewed Jalonne White-Newsome, the White House's first federal environmental justice officer about what happens now that the movement is a target of the Trump administration. 19thnews.org/2025/02/envi...

Four years ago today in a runoff election, Georgians elected their state's first Black and Jewish senators. It was a triumph of democracy and good organizing and better angels, winning the Senate for the Democrats, overshadowed by the grotesquely violent coup attempt on Congress the next day.
