@teamlabouruk.bsky.social can we have something positive like this in England a bit sooner? It's over £40 pounds travelling an hour on an overcrowded train from Brighton or Hove to London on a peak train...

🚨Please check out our guide to the Energy Geography Research Group's sponsored sessions for today at the RGS 2025 👇👀

Local authorities are developing new governance tools that take a broader view of the benefits and risks of climate action. Check out our recent case study on Cornwall Council's Decision Wheels!

Great to see a more combative tone from @teamlabouruk.bsky.social on delivering net zero. The conservatives should be ashamed www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This also applies to mainstream education. Choice reforms encourage families to choose schools beyond their nearest option, often based on reputation or inspection reports. Second, market-driven reforms tie funding to enrollment, pushing schools to attract students from wider areas (3/4)

Excluding SEND students from mainstream schools forces them to travel longer distances, reducing their ability to engage in active travel and weakening the school's role in fostering community life. It also contributes to higher carbon emissions and local air pollution. (2/4)

Seeing school travel, especially for SEND students, as just a cost makes children seem like a burden to local authorities. Our research shows that national education policy reforms have made school commutes longer, undermining health and environmental goals (1/4) www.bera.ac.uk/blog/escalat...

Meta pirated eighteen of my publications--an edited book, a book review, chapters and journal articles--to train Llama 3, its AI. Wonder how happy Elsevier, Bloomsbury etc are about that?

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Announcing our third webinar - 19/03, 9-10AM GMT.
@yolandestreng.bsky.social will give a talk on "Digital Energy Futures: anticipating new worlds with design ethnography and scenario planning". Please register here 👇 www.energygeographies.org/event-detail...

“The climate crisis poses a bigger existential threat to this country than Putin does or ever will, so if money can be found for the military there’s no reason why it couldn’t also be found to accelerate self-sufficiency in clean energy.That might really do something for national security”. Spot on👇

📢 How many workers are needed for net zero? A new report by Ian Watt, Faye Wade, @gregmarsden-leeds.bsky.social and Tim Foxon explores:

1️⃣ How many workers are needed by 2030-2035 to deliver energy demand reduction?
2️⃣ How robust is the evidence?

Refreshing to see someone at the House of Lords question the cult of economic growth! Growth at all costs without considering public good is absurd. This outdated mentality is how we end up with projects like expanding Heathrow during a climate emergency 🙃 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Please join us for our seminar today!

Very enjoyable to be up in Leeds meeting colleagues in person for the first time from the Governance and Place themes @edrc-uk.bsky.social. Some great discussions on the place-based well-being benefits of energy demand reduction measures
