National, regional and local governments are increasingly moving towards the #right (hello #SachsenAnhalt). What does this mean for those working in #climate and #sustainability spaces? Sometime back @mahiryazar.bsky.social, @FayolaJacobs and I reflected on what this means for cities.

MEDIA RELEASE: “The 1-Hour City Conspiracy.” If you are traditional or new media and would like to write, talk, or post about the REAL conspiracy in cities, read our media release, and send us a DM for more information. It’s already making BIG waves! And allies, please help share this. #UrbanTruth
Media release from the Urban Truth Collective on the #1HourCityConspiracy.

“The campaign exposes the truth about those lies, while revealing that the real evidence-supported conspiracy, involving many of the same well-financed actors, is the one that’s created the one hour city. Rather than having life‘s essentials close by, in this one hour city, private sector lobbying and marketing over many decades has led to government decisions that separate and spread our communities out…”

A lot has been said about #Ladakh and Ladakhis in the last few days. For those who know the region and it's people understand the demand for autonomy. For others, @ashishkothari.bsky.social and I provide a glimpse of how Ladakh's demand for autonomy is tightly linked to its ecology and energy future
