We often forget how far we have come: ➡️ Today almost 50% of EU electricity generation is from renewable energy sources. ➡️ It is not long ago that fossil fuels dominated the EU's electricity mix. This year their share is approaching 1/4 of EU electricity generation. Source: @ember-energy.org

A week ago I spoke about the great project I did with Wonderseekers and a primary school at the excellent Communicate conference by The Natural History Consortium. Was good to attend a non-academic conference & discover new terminology whilst also considering same concerns (most apprpriate measures)

Absolutely love that our University of Surrey library does this for our students - hands out "Take a Break" packs. ...just need them to come into staff offices randomly too, to encourage us to have those breaks as well ;)

Very uplifting hearing Dave Lockwood of @bbcsport's account of how ready and willing leading figures in sports are to get advocating for the environment. See Imogen Grant's work on river water quality - and even climate change www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rowing... #Communicate2024

Two+ years on from Valuing Nature UKRI funded network, valuing-nature.net inc our 'Improving Wellbeing through Urban Nature" project, its interesting to hear next phase in debate - how to communicate value of nature to different groups, businesses, politicians. Considering language & varied impacts

Looking forward to the exciting day ahead at #Communicate2024 conference. www.bnhc.org.uk/communicatec... Birgitta Gatersleben kicking it off discussing the news items of the day, and chairing the session I'll be talking in - "Soundscapes: The power of nature engagement through sound"
