Last chance to preorder! Transformative #Adaptation is adaptation that works with, not against nature.

It reduces greenhouse gas emissions and protects us from their impacts. This helps our civilisation build #resilience to our #metacrisis, and makes life worth living.

A small but slightly exciting announcement (at least to me!). This viral short, which was launched exactly two years ago, is going to get a little upgrade, a new preface: watch this space on Sunday night!

Great to see some honesty surfacing at last… As I’ve been saying for the last three years, the #CoP process is not fit for purpose. Moreover, I’d add that it’s really hard to see any way back for it now. The (corruption and) failure appear systemic.
