Yes. Offsetting by planting trees will never be as effective as the protection of established ecosystems.

I don’t agree with one penny of public money being spent on the Kings Coronation. Apart from wanting the abolition of the Monarchy, 14 million people are in poverty, homelessness is rife, over 2,500 foodbanks. We don’t need the gross spectacle of unearned wealth & power.

I don't understand why this isnt on the front page of every major newspaper - it's an immense historical moment

People are calling these new city region #devolutiondeals as 'trail blazers', just like they called the old ones from 2014/15! It is just spin.

Proud of my time spent working on this project, integrating User-Centric Design into SLES design/ developing place-based practices of engagement. Amazing and imaginative things accomplished since. A testament to empowering place and people in just transitions. Report due soon!

Social media and newspapers are flooded with myths about heat pumps. Let's take them one by one in this thread.

Are you producing/using social science knowledge and approaches in environmental spaces? 🌎🌱🌳🌿🐦🐞🌾🚜🥕 ACCESS Network have launched a survey exploring the positioning and influence of environmental social science in training, research, policy, and practice. 👇👇👇👇

Great idea! Can you give me a list of the beaches you haven’t covered in sewage?

Successful day of data collection today. Sweden is truly a fascinating country with some incredibly complex governance, social and geographical issues at the heart of its unfolding transition towards electrification. Lots of paper ideas brewing…as always, plenty to finish first!

NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university. American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀 Let’s start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years

Delighted to be involved in this session - a research approach which has progressively encapsulated all of the data collection that I do. Dr Caitlin Hafferty and I have big plans for this session - please do submit your paper for consideration at the RGS this year :)

Absolutely gutting
