The 2026 @iom.int World Migration Report is out. Even more interactive this year, it's a treasure trove on how we increasingly move around the world. Interesting to see who gets to move freely around the world, and who does not. Who decides who decides? worldmigrationreport.iom.int/msite/wmr-20...

Wellbeing economics is not much of a thing in the US of A methinks... From 'Good Economics for Hard Times' by nobel prize winners Abhijit Banerjee amd Esther Duflo 👇

The hourglass version of the conflict curve is particularly telling right now, when opportunity for political solutions narrow. Having authored Ch 10 of the 'Understand to Prevent Handbook', it's sad to confirm that we're still going to need a lot of security & defence reform in years to come

There's never a lack of opportunity to point out that conflict prevention & de-escalation are a thing. Conflict & violence occur in many ways, often lingering longest below the radar where cycles of conflict pass on through families, societies & states... Behind every aggressor is a world of pain.

...World Happiness Report and search for your country's ranking, remember it's more than just a gimmick, more than just about social media use ("isn't it ironic") - we can change the way we value progress, happiness & wellbeing if we focus on the right lever. files.worldhappiness.report/WHR26.pdf

...institutions and governments got the message? Clearly not yet. But a few are implementing alternatives, and I can hope in my lifetime to see a world that abandons the use of GDP as the primary measure of 'progress'. 6 nations have adopted wellbeing economics to deliver... weall.org/wego

Happy World Happiness Day 🙂 For many including the UN explanation of World Happiness Day, today is about awareness for “a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes the happiness and well-being of all peoples.” But there's actually an important shift going...

Veggies are so varied and so versatile. Not sure if it's a lost art, but Insta is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G for veg and vegan recipes. My attempt here at battered artichoke heart 'fish'. Delish.

Happy International Women's Day 2026 to you all. This is an amazing 'first' photo of women at every rank in the British Army. It's built on the effort of all our women, together with the effort of all our great guys because the thing about equality is that it takes everyone 🤩 Have a fab day all 🥳

or lower... Never forget that national security is built on human security. And human security is built on ecological security as our foundation. We depend on ecological security for our survival. Not the other way around.

Happy Wildlife Day from my garden. Wildlife is so resilient. If we give it a fair chance. Great to see the rights of nature progressing. We must continue to partner with nature. It underpins our survival.

Meanwhile, what's going on in geopolitics right now is an adverse reaction to an advance in the expectation of social contract that the Administration can't get out of, try as it might. It continues to push in the wrong direction. It will end in tears.
