"There is no neutral path anymore": How can scientists take action and tell stories to avert climate collapse? An afternoon at the University of Sheffield’s Sustainability Symposium saw discussion on the roles of art and activism in furthering serious action on climate breakdown.

"I've increasingly embraced an identity as both a scientist and an activist"

At the @granthamcsf.bsky.social's Sustainability Summit, scholars and scientists explored what roles art and activism have to play in furthering serious action on climate breakdown 🪧

@sheffielduni.bsky.social

On 27th Nov we have a shot at creating a positive societal tipping point towards genuine emergency action on the #climate #nature crisis—action which will make us better off.

Maximising MPs attendance is key. Please enter your postcode to see if your MP has confirmed yet.

How scientists can contribute to social movements and climate action Collective action on climate is crucial. Scientists play an important role in driving change.

Pleased to announce that @tristramwyatt.bsky.social & I have a new article out in @uk.theconversation.com, based on work with colleagues from @scientistsforxr.earth

We outline "How scientists can contribute to social movements and climate action"

Here's a thread with some background & key points 🧵

How scientists can contribute to social movements and climate action Collective action on climate is crucial. Scientists play an important role in driving change.

"It’s more important than ever that our professional bodies and institutions are emboldened by their membership to advocate for the public good that science brings, and the need to defend academic freedom, recognising that often means speaking truth to power."

📣 New post and article on Scientists and Emergency Action 📣

🥼 On the many ways we can take action... and why we're powerful when we do: abiperrin.com/p/scientists...

💬 On how we can support the movements that drive transformation, via @theconversation.com: theconversation.com/how-scientis...

To celebrate 40 years of indie publishing, we asked the O'Mara family to tell us their favourite MOM book that has been published over the years 🥳
