Great to meet King Charles with the #TideTurners in Kenya today. He was impressed, saying that we need to do more to get youth involved in our growing climate challenge. Big thanks to @KenyaScouts & @KenyaGirlGuides who were with us…

@maddyjorr @LboroSportBiz @SportEcoGroup @UNEP @GRIDArendal @uk_protect Well done!

Pretty chuffed with this. It's all about teamwork, so shoutouts and congrats are due to the @LboroSportBiz team, all my collaborators at the @SportEcoGroup and Lboro's SCAN cluster, and of course our partners who help us make the magic happen @UNEP @GRIDArendal @uk_protect🙌👏

@Zoe_Flood How long are you here?

Room with a definite view. Oxford, you are so beautiful.

And the winner is… @Xbox! Congrats on winning Green Studio of the Year at #ONL23 with @XboxP3 collecting the award @gamescom tonight.

@LewisPugh Go well Lewis.

I leave for the Hudson tomorrow. Is there anything I’ve left behind? 🏊‍♂️🇺🇲😀 #HudsonSwim2023

Our climate has gone haywire: so many of Earth’s vital signs are blinking red But we're also in the midst of an unstoppable transformation of how we power everything: Renewables take over before 2030. Nothing is more important than running faster: Speed is justice THREAD
