.@ClientEarth's case against @Shell may have failed, but "it's only a matter of time before directors are held personally liable for not doing enough to manage climate risk" This will be a HUGE tipping point in terms of corporate accountability. bit.ly/3X0uaX8

Research shows that we base our perception of ‘normal weather’ on what we’ve experienced in the last 2-8 years. So we forget what was ‘normal’ before that period and keep resetting our baseline of normal. We all know what happened to that frog. 🎧bit.ly/4jy5uiH

In 2015 @CFigueres didn’t hold back in negotiations but today's news that January was the warmest on record is another stark reminder that the #ParisAgreement isn't fully working. This week we ask why it hasn't delivered the transformation we need. 🎧 bit.ly/4jy5uiH

Many of us are dealing with the pain and grief of seeing that which we love disappearing before our eyes. And how much more frustrating it is to see so much good work undone in the blink of an eye, or in the flourish of a pen. It is all too easy to sink into de-motivation in this fight for the common good - especially when we feel the responsibility to bequeath a safer planet to future generations. So how do we transform that pain, grief and frustration into positive action, rather than letting it become a weight that prevents action? As my teacher Zen Buddhist Master Thích Nhất Hạnh used to say, “No mud, no lotus”, meaning that we can compost those feelings - we can allow them to become the soil that nourishes our interactions, intentionally using them to create the world we wish to see. In fact, those feelings can allow us to access the depths of our hearts and so are the very thing that enables the courageous action we need now. I spoke to @CC_Yale about this: yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/01/what-c… For those interested in learning more about @PlumVillage teachings: plumvillage.org/courses/zen-an…

It's official - the LA fires were 25% worse because of climate change—but is that enough to convince people? As new fires erupt, and thousands more are forced to evacuate @CFigueres explains why the 'messy numbers' are still a warning we can’t ignore. bit.ly/4jy5uiH
