Amazing: Kasakula, Malawi goes 100% solar powered 🌞 Every home, school, and clinic now have clean, reliable electricity, thanks to the charity I founded @SolarAid and their community-led Energy-as-a-Service model. Proof that universal energy access is possible now. What a team.

Game-changing climate ruling. “The opinion is not formally enforceable, but history shows that once law and science align in this way, social licence can evaporate very quickly. Think tobacco. Think asbestos.” @jeremyleggett.bsky.social in @reuters.com

The international court has fired the starting gun on climate accountability
Last week’s advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is a gamechanger in the long-running global struggle to limit greenhouse-gas emissions. The court’s 15 judges unanimously ruled that governments must act “with the highest ambition”, compatible with the Paris goal of limiting global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
