Mark your calendars, folks. ICLEI and local partners are putting on the Kingston Climate Summit June 4-5, and have asked me to provide the keynote on further & faster #ClimateAction through better city-building, in particular smarter land-use and transportation decisions. See you there! #Iclei

1/3 Sometimes I desperate a little bit about Mastodon. I read often the nagging that #media wouldn't do enough against #ClimateCrisis. I search the great idea #the89Percent or #89Percent and find 1 post only!
It's a project led by 500+ media outlets from 60 countries that aims to amplify the “silent climate majority”—the 80–89% who want urgent #climateAction but don’t realize they’re not alone. Many great and important articles. A great idea published around the globe in many languages. You can

The countdown has started:
On May 15, we will launch the 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿, a new dashboard using open, high-resolution data to inform local climate action.

Today, we introduce 𝗵𝗶𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸, one of the dashboard’s key tools, which assesses the walkability of cities and towns.
With hiWalk, you can evaluate the safety, accessibility, pleasantness and convenience of pedestrian paths.

In my previous post ( https://climatejustice.social/@breadandcircuses/114387045860351957) I mentioned that when a canary in a coal mine dies, it means the miners are in extreme danger and must get out immediately.

For us, the canary is coral reefs, and they are now dying.

But where can we go? We can’t escape the “coal mine” we live in.

We have to stay on Earth. There's no running away to Mars, a ridiculous Tech Bro fantasy that will never happen.

So we're stuck here, with each other. But there is some good news. We *can* help each other.

Here is a place to start learning how...

Keen to listen to Novara Media's new series interviewing climate activists that went to prison for standing up for what they believed in. I marched with Just Stop Oil a few years ago, and whilst I chose not to get arrested, I admired the courage of those who put the cause above themselves. https://novaramedia.com/category/audio/committed/ #JustStopOil #ClimateAction

56% of the global population live in cities.

Cities, therefore, are powering a formidable climate movement and policy that is having a real impact.

Electing leaders committed to climate action ensures cities adopt strategies that drive meaningful environmental change.

Announcing our newest mini discussion guide for The Crisis Scientists — just in time for Earth Day! This powerful short film profiles seven extraordinary people working to galvanize policy makers and the public to act on climate issues. It's great for teaching civic action, earth science, environmental education, human geography, and social studies. 1/2

“A huge 89% majority of the world’s people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the climate crisis, but feel they are trapped in a self-fulfilling “spiral of silence” because they mistakenly believe they are in a minority, research suggests.” Most of us want #ClimateAction.

Empire Wind 1, a major offshore wind project off the coast of New York City, is officially underway!

Empire Wind 1 is slated to finish construction by 2027, and when it does it will power 500,000 New York homes, according to the project’s website. It will also play an integral role in helping the state achieve its legislatively mandated target of 70% renewable energy by 2030.

I wish more people had these two terms in their active vocabulary:

1. Carbon intensity of electricity: gCO2/kWh
2. Carbon intensity of transport: gCO2/km

Algeria and the other Saharan countries could literally lease a patch of the desert to other countries to generate their power.

We could have started on this with the Kyoto accord in the 90s.

We would have a global clean power grid by now.

But instead investors have fossil fuel companies and we have climate catastrophes.

We’re so smart.
