It happened! Cultural heritage was restored as a Global Goal on Adaptation theme - w ref to local, traditional & Indigenous knowledge as well. This is a win for science & helps put the GGA on a more holistic, locally led & just basis. Thanks to all who did this! #CultureatCOP27

We’re disappointed to see that reference to cultural heritage (& cities) was dropped in today’s latest draft global goal on adaptation decision. The critical role of culture in adaption and avoiding maladaptation is made clear in the WGII AR6 report. This is a step backwards.

Best books about grief and grieving? Not self-help/pop psych stuff. Classics. Poets. Essays. Would especially love anything that lets history and politics in or considers grief over the loss of ideals/ideas as well as individuals.

Well, #HamOnt, it's still sinking in, but we really did do it. I'm Councillor-Elect for Ward 2, and I'm really excited about it! I have a lot to share, but I wanted to start from a place of gratitude, and a bit of honesty, about what this result does and doesn't mean.

BREAKING & BIG: California Governor @GavinNewsom has just signed AB2097 which removes parking minimums statewide in transit-served areas. It’s being called the most sweeping statewide parking reform in US history. @DonaldShoup & others championed it. Well done. #ThePowerOfParking

California is finally poised to lift parking requirements across the state. Here's why that would be a huge win for the climate, writes climate economist @GernotWagner of @Columbia_Biz and Matthew Lewis of @cayimby trib.al/O4lt8IB

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people.
Sound efficient?
