We talk a lot about the future of Norway’s green industries but less so about who will actually build them. Maybe it’s time to focus less on the industries and more on the people and skills behind them in the Green Transition.

Regional #development strategies should identify a place's unique assets & potential—not merely echo its neighbours, say Pylak, @jay-deegan.bsky.social & @tbroekel.bsky.social in @regionalstudies.bsky.social.
Innovation thrives on place-sensitive strategies, not on imitation.

How the world’s biggest offshore wind company was blown off course

#Discontent is born of #decline.
#Europe’s angriest regions aren’t its poorest, but those stuck in #development traps—stagnating while others surge ahead.
Europscepticism thrives in economic neglect, as much as culture wars.
The remedy? #Innovation, #education, and #reform.

NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion.
I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.

Really enjoyed reading this, as a geography nerd, particularly the maps and how far and fast we’ve come to where we are 🗺️
I loved writing this, on how we, modern humans alive today, are fundamentally different from all other Homo sapiens that came before us. It’ll likely make you think differently about your life—and how unique it is relative to our ancestors. www.forkingpaths.co/p/we-are-dif...
We are different from all other humans in history
Countless experiences that have become routine for us are unprecedented in the history of our species. Here's why that matters.
