In a world of selfish authoritarians, be a plugged-in politician like Mamdani in NYC. Work for everyone, not to grab for yourself.

Governing land, landscapes and infrastructure for a just energy transition [Commentary] India’s renewable energy transition is accelerating, marked by a drop in fossil fuel power generation and a push for green investment.

"Ensconcement offers an epistemological and developmental tool to study and understand past injustices in order to co-create ways to address them — upholding the vital principles of democracy, transparency and accountability to a high standard."

Solar turn holds potential for a significant shift to renewable energy and swift reductions in carbon emissions. Yet, as a land- and re...

In the world of 2025, bet like China on an electro-state future, not like the US on being a petro-state. Wish Norway would embrace the first right proper instead of desperately clinging to the latter as it fades. Today, build like it's for tomorrow, not as you recall from yesterday.

Congrats @adrianhiel.bsky.social, a key role in our time!

Spain responding rightly to an astute and evidenced understanding of the outage by improving technical systems support to continue exponential expansion of renewable energy. The fossil fuel lobby cannot win over facts in a competitive market with informed governance and management of energy systems.

A useful overview of electrification and deep decarbonisation, pointing out the need for a lot more electricity production to move towards net zero targets.

Sounds perfect, see you when you hop off your bicycle!

We do have an 'Owl' set up, but the less IT involved the better in terms of conviviality :)

Can set up an improvised version of that, yes (laptop facing you), and if you have a link to share ahead of time, the Norwegian Grandparents' Climate Campaign might be interested as they have an active campaign: www.besteforeldreaksjonen.no/2025/05/hvor...

Looking forward to hosting @jonworth.eu tomorrow @fridtjofnanseninst.bsky.social - he'll address European railway politics, a theme there's widespread interest in and a cause there's momentum for! Join us at 11 if interested :) (venue: Spisestuen, Fridtjof Nansens vei 17A, 1366 Lysaker)

Beautiful peaceful protest against the man who would be king, a song for a free country.

Beautiful stuff. In a world with so much going wrong, nice to see a few things going right.

Such a treat to witness the mesmerising @buggewesseltoft.bsky.social (twice!), the awesome @harukimurakami.bsky.social with sage reflections, and the one and only Mari Boina who evocatively recited a Palestinian poem and called for an end to the Israeli genocide. Packed house and a standing ovation.

Lovely to be in beautiful Bergen for the kickoff of the ECOBUDGETS project about sustainability budgeting related to municipal work on climate and land use planning. Useful reflections shared to inform my role as an advisor on this @uibcet.bsky.social collaboration with a range of societal partners.

Death of a glacier, climate murder, indifferent = complicit.

Bearing witness: apocalypse now. For this glacier anyway.

This train is gonna gather speed.

Good things come in twos! Here's a nifty summary takeaway and links to two latest pieces by @jeremywallace.bsky.social

A really solid contribution.

Double whammy and the power of cascading effects to amplify system risks.

Hyggeplyndring Hyttekosen stenger fjellet for fellesskapet.

Common wealth, not "walling in and walling out", argues Carmen Mapis in the Frostian tradition of 'Mending wall' in this op-ed against luxury privatisation of Norwegian nature: www.nrk.no/ytring/hygge.... 'Hyggeplyndring' is a cheeky coinage riffing off of 'hytteplyndring' to drive home a key point!
