Are we a racist society? The majority of us say no – but science begs to differ
Although greater awareness of prejudice would suggest we are less bigoted than ever, empirical evidence indicates not

The climate crisis isn’t a projection. It’s happening now. Every single day there’s loss & damage somewhere in the world. Adaptation is urgent but LIMITED unless we cut our emissions.

My reflections on #COP29 from the ground in #Baku.
1/ The #climatefinance deal: Annex 2 (wealthy) nations pledged "at least $300bn/year" for developing countries by 2035. Far from the $1.3tn/year asked by the Global South, it’s a compromise that feels deeply inadequate to those most vulnerable.
