"Universities weren't set up to make people rich. It is time for the FT to turn away from the obsession with money as a marker of human wellbeing ... florists report substantially higher life satisfaction than economists" Nice letter in FT

Really exciting things happening @UtrechtUni - great to meet you all virtually today and looking forward to hearing your progress!

Led a fantastic meeting this afternoon with Joshua Nooij on launching an online course for @climate101net. Multidisc. educ. for @UtrechtUni + others will show relevance of sustainability for f. of study outside the 'sust. bubble'. Great things ahead! @sanli thanks for your help!

FAB news from @KneppCastle/@KneppSafaris with tdys announcement that @NaturalEngland has granted their application to release #Beavers into an 'enclosed area' at #Knepp. We now need @DefraGovUK to green-light their wider acceptance back to the land 🤔knepp.co.uk/new-blog/2020/…

I taught sources and sinks of greenhouse gases today. Afterwards one student said that they had learned more in that 60min lecture than any other lecture at Georgia Tech!
They crave this content. It is meeting a pressing need.
This is a great sign, y'all. #educatingforchange

Apart from the Earth Sciences, Economics and Fashion seem to be leading the way in climate education at university.

Is economics education changing?... Today at the University of Manchester, the 1st macroeconomics lecture for 1st year students included this - kudos to the prof. But is this a passing moment for 'heterodox' thinking, or the start of a new paradigm? @rethinkecon @PostCrashEcon

Please let us know if you spot degree courses in engineering being marketed as "green".
We want to celebrate examples of best practice and encourage those who aren't teaching climate change for engineers to introduce new modules.

Sounds great! However, your website lists 29 modules for a degree in mechanical engineering and not one of them covers climate change. Are we missing something? Are you missing something?

I think US treasury secretary @stevenmnuchin1 -- not @GretaThunberg -- should study Economics. We've got a great MSc programme in Ecological Economics that he could do: courses.leeds.ac.uk/g867/ecologica… theguardian.com/business/2020/…

We welcome the CCC's call to release 22% of land out of agricultural production for long-term carbon draw-down. But #rewilding + the large-scale natural regen of woodland + other ecosystems are absent. Why? Our report demonstrates their vital contribution.

The UK will need to change the way it uses land to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute towards meeting the UK’s Net Zero target. Our new land use report is out today - read more: bit.ly/38pDisG

Thanks to @EnvironmentDave and @payo for telling the #landscapeinnovation conference about Climate101. It is inspiring that organisations like @SussexWildlife and @SussexUni can bring such a great community together to make things happen.

If only I had something like this when I was a student! A great resource.

I struggle to think of a book I've read in the last decade that challenged my assumptions about the world more fundamentally than @ProfTimJackson's Prosperity Without Growth. I wrote about it for @unherd's Books of the Decade: unherd.com/2020/01/prospe…

Understanding is more important than memorization!
Schools should teach the students how to understand, think, doubt, and question. They should be made open to imagination and creativity. 🧠
