Shareholders finally moving @exxonmobil to minimal responsibility. Even under current crazy gains from fossil fuels, climate risks are significant long term financial risks. Long journey ahead. on.ft.com/3lMrlpS

#NotTooLate, a great @RebeccaSolnit project project to invite newcomers to the climate movement, and provide climate facts and encouragement for people who are already engaged but exhausted or exasperated, ‘cause that happens!

Abhorrently outrageous of @HSBC AM global head of ‘responsible’ investing. @HSBC distancing from remarks is not enough. Fire Stuart Kirk & come out with a responsible position on #ClimateChange. Now you cannot just be in the pack, you will have to lead. on.ft.com/3wumjo2

Fossil fuel prices are no black swan, they have always been unpredictable. Now we finally understand they undermine econ stability. So do we just keep admiring the problem? @fionaharvey @guardian @rkyte365 @TimmermansEU @guardian @fbirol @AlokSharma_RDG

#Australia is sleep-walking towards devastating bushfires, floods and coral bleaching events that will become more frequent and dangerous.#Australia needs a genuine and all-encompassing climate action plan.

La empresa que todavía ve un conflicto entre utilidades y sostenibilidad está viviendo la realidad del siglo XX. La empresa que conjugue ambas tendrá la resiliencia necesaria para prosperar en el mundo interconectado y convulsionado de ahora.

Throughout the lead-up to the Paris Agreement, deep listening was key to helping me understand what was in the thousands of stakeholders' hearts and minds.
Wonderful to see EU officials harnessing the many practical benefits of mindfulness for human and planetary health.
I find this incredibly hopeful. I imagine @CFigueres may have had something to do with this wise shift given how much she has shared about the power of @PlumVillage teachings for climate work
The tougher it gets, the more an inside-out approach is needed

In the face of the destruction we have wrought on this Earth, let us embrace the grief and pain, and take principled actions that transform the habits of mind binding us to consumerism, racism, and elitism.

Has Putin's war in Ukraine actually accelerated the energy transition?
After reading @KingsmillBond's thoughts on how the war marks the end of the fossil fuel era, we invited him on so we could put his assertions to the test. Find out if he convinced us: bit.ly/3P1vJPa
