"A (...) policymaker should be thinking, "What can we do to accelerate the transition in countries like (...) India or Brazil?" Green Impact Funds for Transformation would achieve an efficient, market-based distribution of Global Climate Finance. @ericlonners @CorinneSawers

"Whenever someone says, 'we’ll adapt to climate change,' 100% of the time it’s a rich person. Poor people never say 'we’ll adapt' because they know they can’t afford it. For them, adaptation = suffering." theclimatebrink.com/p/climate-chan…

Great review of a number of climate books, including @SuperchargeUs and @BillGates’ How To Avoid A Climate Disaster, Jan Hegenberg’s @DerGraslutscher The Apocalypse Is Cancelled. I hadn’t come across Jan’s book and excited to read. @ericlonners @agendapub

I am sooo relieved to discover a growing pile of books with tangible proposals on how to address the climate crisis. One of the best recommendation engine rabbit holes I ever fell into 💚 Do you know important similar books that I missed? I’m planning a survey blog post
