"You’re facing into the realities of environmental anxiety ...but your victories are so small. You’re told ‘we have this ambition’ but not given the tools to execute it. It’s like being gaslit by your own organisation.” 👉🏼 not just food industry but all ppl working to decarbonise orgs/sectors I fear

This has always been my worst fear about climate change: the worse it gets, the more geopolitical chaos it causes; the more geopolitical chaos there is, the harder it is to cooperate to fight climate change. theconversation.com/a-doom-loop-...

A ‘doom loop’ of climate change and geopolitical instability is beginning
Climate change is driving inflation and instability, which harms climate action. But it’s not too late to escape the doom loop.

The law requires French municipalities to remove parking spaces for motor vehicles within 5 m of pedestrian crossings by December 31, 2026 to allow people to see clearly when they cross. Paris is ahead of the game and plans to do this for more than 40,000 crossings by September 2025.

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

I had to make room on the environmental journalists Starter Pack so I moved the news organizations to their own Pack. Let me know if I’m missing someone.
