This is a compilation of short contributions from a diverse set of perspectives about what more-than-human city means and how it would like. Including my and Gloria Lauterbach’s piece about darkness. #morethanhuman

Another booket list 📚🤓

A picture showing how every country voted. The resolution was supported by 93 states. The United States, Russia, Belarus, Israel, and several other countries voted against it.

BREAKING: US supports Russia and votes against UN resolution initiated by Ukraine and Europe.

Seismic statement that the US administration now sides with Putin.

Interesting list of books :D #sustainability #geek 📑

Science under threat | Royal Society The Royal Society will use its voice and the expertise of our Fellows to resist the various challenges to science.

Science advances our economic, physical, and social and cultural wellbeing, and is key to a sustainable future. However, we live in times of great change, and the values that have driven science for the benefit of humanity are under threat. Read our statement here: royalsociety.org/news/2025/02...

It's very interesting that today I came across both this article and your new website at the same time. The article was highlighting the importance of water diplomacy in improving EU-Iran connections and perhaps a relevent discussion of the time . Thanks again.

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order. A table version is available here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LZN7QnbSyFfUZJG8Sn1MWpK0VnfBtb0OSyZ1jxP3xBk/edit?usp=sharing

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..."

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

These challenging times require courage and ambition for the European project. We no longer have any time to lose 🇪🇺

What does the more-than-human city look like?

More than 15 voices explore this question in TNOC’s latest Virtual Roundtable. Together, they reclaim cities as spaces of multispecies justice, care, and interdependence.

The wisdom of Persian Gardens shows us that the path to sustainable urban futures lies not in conquering nature, but in remembering our place within it.

Here I wrote about Persian Gardens as an example of NbS that integrates green spaces with symbolic spiritual and cultural elements. Like many aspects of Iranian heritage, these gardens are heavily underrated!

Machine learning map of climate policy literature reveals disparities between scientific attention, policy density, and emissions Current efforts to reduce emissions fall far short of what is required to keep global warming well below 2° as established in the Paris Agreement1. In fact, global carbon emissions continue to rise, despite requirements to reach net-zero emissions within the next 30–50 years. To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, countries need to increase the ambition of their emissions reductions pledges, and to close the implementation gap between pledges and current policies. Only decades remain before CO2 emissions need to reach net-zero in mid-century2 and achieving this will require rapid learning from evidence on which policy instruments work

An infographic about the European Parliament's agenda for 10-13 February 2025. It list three points: Heading: Russia's war on Ukraine Text: With the war about to enter its fourth year, MEPs will assess its impact and reiterate their support for Kyiv. Heading: Competitiveness Text: MEPs will discuss the recently proposed EU strategy on boosting competitiveness with representatives from the European Commission and the Council. Heading: Trade with the US Text: Parliament will examine how the EU could respond if the new US administration decides to impose tariffs on the import of EU goods. Behind it is an image of two hands held up indicating they are approving in favour of something.

ℹ️ Coming up in the EP this coming week: marking three years of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine, debating how the EU can make itself more competitive, trade with the US, opportunities for peace in the Middle East and healthcare labour shortages.

Misinformation and misleading, or let's say, leading by highly biased and curated groups, have left young people voiceless and victim to the situations, which in the presence of right support (inside by knowledgeable and wise people, and outside by the global community) would have been better. 🌎

Social media is feeding them with contents that makes them angry and makes them feel like a victim, unable to make any change. They are constantly comparing themselves to other people's lives outside the country, and are not empowered in a right way to solve the problems collectively.

Social media is hitting differently these days, especially Instagram. Wild how those algorithms are designed to emotionally manipulate us without us even noticing. Been seeing too many of my friends back home( in I r a n )struggling with their mental health because of this digital roller coaster.

A photo of Arlie Wiesel with a black box & white text with the quote: “Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

In honor of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, I remember & strive to live accordingly:

I had Twitter since I was 15 (2012) till I was 20 (2017) and I never came back to X. Once again, hello Twitter, my old blue bird 🐦flying in a blue sky!💙
