A Statement

Whether you agree with the decision or not, it has clearly been made on a point of principle and it gives the climate the consideration it requires, but so rarely gets, from politicians. For that, Skidmore is to be applauded.

It was a powerful milestone last year to partner with @BAFTA on the Storytelling for Action Pavilion at #COP28. We look forward to their next steps! @Bellona_no @futerra @GreenSolitaire @CarysTaylor @WeAreALBERT deadline.com/2023/12/bafta-…
