Britain has become an "electrostate" — and that means energy bills will come down, says @chrisstark.bsky.social. He's the man leading the country's charge to a clean power grid by 2030 www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

Shocking and worrying.

☀️As #RenewableEnergy goes from strength-to-strength — prices falling while growth keeps pace with demand — #FossilFuels remained mostly flat, with a slight decline in China & India. A successful #GreenTransition is more possible, & more probable, than ever. #Sustainability #ClimateChange #GreenSky

💧💧💧💧💧 Everything is fun and games, until you can't rehydrate. Fresh water is more important than oil! Sacks of water should never, ever take water for granted in their lives, politics, and environments.

The key takeaway from this fascinating survey is that we (educators) should stick to familiar terms that people understand: Use #GlobalWarming when referring to rising temperatures and #ClimateChange for overall changes in the climate. 🔗 theconversation.com/if-you-want-... #EduSky #GreenSky

💦 New research from UCL, Watershed Investigations and the Guardian has shown that Europe’s groundwater reserves are drying up. There is evidence of climate breakdown in the data. www.theguardian.com/environment/... #ClimateChange #GreenSky

"If a bunch of liberal rich people invested in non-profit independent radio across the country twenty years ago we would live in a fundamentally different country"

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy. Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.

Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds #Climate

🇮🇷 Iran will be moving their capital due to #water shortages (what will happen to the 10 million residents of Tehran is unclear). Major cities such as Cape Town, Mexico City & Jakarta are also facing “#DayZero” scenarios. The move is expected to cost more than $100 billion. #ClimateChange #GreenSky

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

We are delighted to see the GCSE in Natural History highlighted in the just-published government’s Environment Improvement Plan. Never has it been more important than to teach the next generation about the natural world. We protect what we love, we love what we know and we know what we are taught.

This is welcome news!

Scientists are hoping by studying Surtsey — a new island — they can understand how nature works without human interference, and therefore how to rehabilitate ecosystems damaged by war, pollution or exploitation. Full story: www.theguardian.com/environment/... #ClimateScience #GreenSky #EduSky

#ClimateLoans are intended to help poorer countries adapt to a hotter world. But a recent investigation has found that the money is seemingly being used for other purposes... For the full story: www.theguardian.com/global-devel... #Sustainability #GreenTransition #GreenSky #EduSky

Last month, our co-founder, Joanna, was featured on the consulting and #sustainability podcast, ImpacTalks. They discussed #ESD, sustainability in hospitality, and #GreenFinance. Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0pr9... Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i... #GreenSky #EduSky

The consultation is open to all. It takes around 15–20 minutes, and every response will help to shape future EU law. Please take part! #AnimalWelfare

Realtors know that, in many parts of the country, if you educate people about climate risk, the housing market will collapse. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/c...

A carbon market — where #CarbonCredits are bought & sold — always sounded counterintuitive. A promise not to pollute does not equal a reduction in #pollution. But schemes existed. Now that credits have lost their credibility, what happens to these communities? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

At #COP30 Arab delegates, together with India, opposed references to the IPCC and to specific findings from the WMO. This was part of a “consistent attempt to weaken the reference of the IPCC as the provider of the best available science,” according to Bangladesh delegates. #ClimateAction #GreenSky

🏭 During the fractious #COP30 talks, Saudi Arabia said targeting the energy sector was “off the table”, according to reporting from @carbonbrief.org. The lines have been drawn, with regard to both committing to the #RenewableEnergy transition and climate disinformation. #ClimateAction #GreenSky

Great to see our UK director Anna Krajinska interviewed by @jeevanvasagar.bsky.social for this piece in @theobserveruk.bsky.social on how the UK’s green transition is shaping up, and what’s at stake if we don’t keep up. observer.co.uk/news/busines...

🔥 As #COP30 ends, it is almost incomprehensible to hear the UN openly acknowledge that we are engaged in a battle for the future of humanity, with opponents who either deny the scientific data or have succumbed to nihilism, choosing immediate wealth over a shared future. #ClimateAction #GreenSky

Oh no, free energy. How can we possibly afford to phase out fossil fuels?* *Bitter sarcasm.

We’d recommend this superb initiative from Earth Charter offering “a professional development opportunity for participants to deepen understanding, knowledge, & skills to integrate #ESD and Education for Global Citizenship into their work...” Register here! earthcharter.org/courses/onli... #EduSky

this is a deeply unsettling fact to have learned at 1am

It has been, yet another, depressing COP. We'll look more closely at the outcomes through the lens of #ESD next week. But this is alarming ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/environment/... #COP30 #ClimateAction #GreenSky

☀️ #SolarPower has already been great for Australia, now the “Solar Sharer” program will offer free electricity during the day — which can be used to charge a battery or schedule laundry — reducing demand in the evenings after the sun sets. Brilliant! #ESD #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy

Oh this isn't good...

Some good news... yes, it does happen.

Hey! Northern hemisphere folks: this is my annual reminder to myself and perhaps also to you that if you have the schedule autonomy to permit it, get out for a walk or whatever during daylight hours! It's important! You can work more when it's dark but you need whatever sunlight is available!

🌱 C40 cities say they have cut emissions five times faster than the global average. Phoenix Mayor Gallego said, “we have 50 cities from the U.S. that are here, all committed to ambitious #ClimateAction. So, while our national government goes backward, these cities go forward.” 👏 #GreenSky #COP30

Approaching #COP30, @unep.org has said, “this has the potential to be one of the most consequential climate COPs of the last decade, but there is no doubt: we are facing some serious headwinds.” #Sustainability #ClimateAction #GreenSky

It’s now a decade since the Paris Climate Agreement, and most countries are failing to meet their national targets. #RenewableEnergy is now cheaper in most places than polluting fossil fuels. Yet the UN predict global temps will exceed 1.5°C, very likely within the next decade. #COP30 #GreenSky

#HigherEducation institutions are facing increasing pressure for greater integration of #sustainability into their programs. We can help accelerate that process. The EDuC Label guides an overall sustainability strategy, while giving visibility & credibility to ongoing efforts. #ESD #GreenSky #EduSky

A worrying development, not least because pollution is now a partisan issue?! 🤷‍♀️ www.politico.eu/article/us-a...

This is so important ⬇️ People want action, but the media wants clickbait — so they "both sides" the issue every time.

📚 #ESD covers what we learn, how we learn it, and the environment in which we learn. It is a lifelong learning process that is an integral part of a quality education. The EDuC Label helps #HigherEd institutions to integrate ESD into their curricula. #Sustainability #GreenSky #EduSky

🪲 Around the world, #biodiversity is collapsing at an unprecedented rate. Creating and effectively protecting nature reserves is vital. In environments where development cannot be avoided, it is important to find ways of repairing and limiting the damage. #SDG15 #Sustainability #GreenSky #EduSky

It's called trickle down! "New report on funding to slash carbon emissions finds startlingly low engagement with the people affected" #earth #climate

According to UNEP, around a million species of plants and animals are being are at risk of extinction. They range from the critically endangered South China tiger to “common” animals & plants, such as giraffes and parrots, oak trees, cacti & seaweed. #ESD #Sustainability #Biodiversity #GreenSky

☀️ The IEA stresses that #renewables “inherently strengthen energy supply security”, because they generate electricity domestically. Wouldn’t it be nice not to be energy-dependent on petrostates? #ESD #Sustainability #GreenSky #EduSky

More people are getting sick due to sand and dust storms that are now more intense and frequent, contributor Sean Mowbray reported for Mongabay. The intensifying storms have exposed many millions more people to dangerous levels of particulate pollution across the world.
