It's time to draw a line to end a decade of government pulling against its people, its environment, climate and own leadership. @andyburnham.bsky.social as PM raises inspiring hope of not only good leadership, but more collaborative leadership with the public. That matters. youtu.be/Um0c8QkWP0o?...

@proflinds.bsky.social we should certainly have a chat about this next week!

@phoebebarnard.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 2:09 PM

#Nature is still really the only game in town able to stabilise our climate. In York next week as guests of the wonderful @yesiuoy.bsky.social team, we'll also screen our documentary 'Ecosystem Restoration' in the 2025 series 'The Climate Restorers' Tues 6 Oct, 5:30 pm. www.theclimaterestorers.com

Yes. And universities can and should lead this transition and these dialogues - both themselves, and in support of civil society leadership (and wherever possible government leadership!).

@phoebebarnard.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 9:23 AM

Excellent - thank you @mazzucatom.bsky.social and colleagues. Precisely the kind of conversations and policy pathways we need to navigate these urgent crossroads of humanity.

@phoebebarnard.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 8:13 PM

I hope specific jaguar corridors can be proposed to governments. My colleagues Lucila Castro in Argentina and her team at Natura Argentina have been working with Gerardo Ceballos and others on protected area expansion strategies. ❀️

So sorry to have been at NY Climate Week - would have loved to hear this. x

PΓ₯ engelska : "What a piece of writing.

"How have we ended up in a world that is so fundamentally designed for some and not for others?"

Yes, how? And how do we create a better world? A world that is for everyone?"

Great summary. I'd have been curious to chat with you about that Monday climate investors' summit, where we also spoke (about preparing wealthy folks to navigate the planet- and climate-repair-focused economies of the future). It was great to see you there and in the Ukrainian one. Breathe out! 🌬️

@phoebebarnard.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 6:46 PM

🎯 A wonderful comparison, Bill. ⬆️ Erudite, succinct, damning for the civilization that is excruciatingly falling apart, and glowing for the one for which we are all straining to give birth.

@phoebebarnard.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 4:59 PM

Please do make sure you know what's headed our way, and prepare for it. At the very least. And at the very best, throw your weight into the efforts to reverse environmental and societal unraveling.

@climateeforum.bsky.social is well worth following and sharing.

@phoebebarnard.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 4:57 PM

🫀 - right. And now chasing its tail without using its head.

@phoebebarnard.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 4:43 PM

Right. And almost equally, i'd say that China has also embraced both of these, at least for a time.

In our film 'Ecosystem Restoration' in The Climate Restorers series, we note that while both China & USA had catastrophic ecosystem collapse, China learned from theirs. www.theclimaterestorers.com

🎯. And for those involved in strategy at different scales, this may be of some help in framing, and in local adaptation, mitigation, and restoration brainstorming. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

@phoebebarnard.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 4:29 PM

Yes. Thank you for this as I had never heard of her. But here are two sublime books on awe and wonder which I hope everyone under 40 or 50 will read. ✨

@phoebebarnard.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 4:25 PM

There was a time when one or two of my graduate students might have challenged me on this. But not today. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« One day soon I trust I can read this! Thank you @ingridrobeyns.bsky.social 🎯

@phoebebarnard.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 4:23 PM

Yes, but there will be such cleverness. Because they can. Like, wow.
