This is pretty exciting. Portugal has agreed to write off €12m of debt to Cape Verde. In exchange, the West African archipelago will put the money in a climate & environment fund to invest in the energy transition and prepare for impacts. climatechangenews.com/2023/01/24/por

👀All of us who are calling for #just transition need to call in our expectations for deployment and tie them tightly to a just procurement schedule and #supplychain. #energytwitter #climatetwitter

If the gerrymandering of islands, nations and neighborhoods didn’t scare you and the gerrymandering of education to side step racial equity didn’t scare you than the gerrymandering of local politics to access climate dollars is going to get you all the way . . . 👀

🌾 Can anyone afford to work in a silo these days? Unless you actually move grain on a farm, you’re living on a swivel track the connections between #energy, #climate, #people, and peace because the system is on the fritz and it will take a multi hyphenate view to manage it.

Infuriating. Awful. Another reason to focus on the fossil fuel phase out and not get distracted with offset schemes. "Revealed: more than 90% of rainforest carbon offsets by biggest provider are worthless, analysis shows" theguardian.com/environment/20

☕️It feels like the flavor of the day is fogey fascism, freaky fascism or functional fascism. Believe it or not I’m here for people, our power and I still believe we can beat this wave of irrationality. I believe in all the souls that will, still. #showup #careimperative

Covid is not over. Klear is not real. Class is not race. Sequestration is not cessation. Gotcha is not analysis. The planet is not a debate. & trajectory is not fate. No silver bullets, magic ballots, balloons or measures Close out the year, come back, eyes clear. 🙏🏿

💡There is nothing like a classic rock soundtrack to make quick work of a deadline. Give me some Creedence Clearwater Revival and I will tear right through a word count. Mix in some britrock and classic hip hop and the editor might get more copy than Kinkos.

We are not in a yes/no moment but a both/and generation which requires more than fast tracks and fly over engagement. It will actually take a revisioning of the grid, and massive public engagement on risk. No shortcuts on the how. 👏🏿

We treat conservation as an altruistic pursuit — a special interest championed by a passionate few — but it’s also a selfish cause.
