David Attenborough, the voice of Our Planet: “Things are going to get worse”

Why do voluntary climate initiatives matter? Working with the @retoolproject.bsky.social reminded us! They help cities and companies move faster, test ideas, and shape what policy becomes next. Real climate action often starts before regulation. #voluntaryclimateaction #horizoneurope
