A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority.
The “silent majority” for #ClimateAction needs to get loud.
People want action. Smart cities need to go much further, much faster.

Performative neutrality isn’t neutrality. It’s an active alignment with the status quo and existing power structures.

Outrageous.
Ministers should be listening to scientists, frontline communities and those working towards a green transition – not hosting the interests of oil giants in their own offices.
