A bit of bright news in these dark times
One of the world’s rarest birds has rebounded from near extinction after Indigenous communities in Bali committed to protect it under traditional laws, Mongabay contributor Heather Physioc reported.
In 2001, just six Bali starlings were known to live in the wild. By 2021, there were roughly 520.

A miniature political economic analysis of AI corporations that is worth listening too
Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

To all concerned with climate finance! In my article published in @climate-policy.bsky.social, I find that overlooking the influence of banks’ types of equity on sustainable lending narrows the scope of analysis and limits the tools available to reach Paris-aligned portfolios.

Interesting find, although classifying environmental protest as 'cultural' strikes me as odd. Climate change is dangerous for both human rights and the economy, and requires an economic transformation of big corporations to address it
Authors find increase in cultural protest (left: war, enviro, + right: anti-immigrant, anti-EU, and both: Covid pro and anti-containment measures) across Europe and diminishing economic protests, which are typically led by unions. Where is European labor these days?
