- India just cancelled 14 huge coal-fired power stations as solar energy prices hit record low
- Applause for @GretaThunberg and a lot of awkward shifting of positions and discomfort. Air left the room. Truth hurts. Accountability is tough. Her unwavering focus and blistering anger burns. A moment that must tilt action on its axis. #ClimateActionSummit2019
- A new exciting chapter opened for me today. I am looking forward to making my contribution in a different way - working with the faculty and staff of Fletcher and the broader Tufts community - to keep shaping the next generations... fletcher.tufts.edu/dean-announcem…
- This absolutely made my day. Hurrah @climatemorgan. Greenpeace boss Morgan to become Germany's new climate envoy
- Trying not to spoil @nytimes crossword but “clean coal” is not a greener energy source. Clue could have been “expensive and futile delay to just transition”. I am sure there are other suggestions out there. @LFFriedman
- Honoured to be appointed CMG in #NewYearHonours. I stand on shoulders of many. Glad work on climate change leaving no one behind is recognized. We have decade to ensure clean, affordable, reliable energy for all and we can. #SDGs @UN @UKUN_NewYork @SEforALLorg @FletcherSchool
- Not erased. Ignored. Four countries putting fingers in their ears and going “lalalalala”. Young people won’t forgive us. We have to move forward gathering pace while UN process corrects. Climate science on 1.5C erased at UN talks as US and Saudis step in
- Yoda says “Largest pavilions, those with the weakest NDCs have” #cop26
- .@IPCC_CH is final. We await its release. Now is a moment to thank those that pushed for 1.5 in Paris and those that pushed for this report and got it agreed. They had the sense of urgency and moral clarity - the lives that would hang in the balance between 2 and 1.5. RESPECT.
- Having followed #COP24 so far from a distance I think leaders and negotiators don’t understand the tectonic plates beneath them have shifted. Listen carefully to the clarity of thought and purity of message of @ExtinctionR @sunrisemvmt @GretaThunberg, and students in Oz.
- Stunned by @Forbes. 99 men. 1 woman. No wonder the pace of change to a cleaner economy working for everyone is so sluggish when mindset is to rely on half the population for leadership and wall out the creativity, talent and collaboration of the rest. forbes.com/lists/innovati…
