Feeling old. I launched the first Biodiversity Action Pan. I’ve also been able to enjoy seeing all the changes. Amazing to see the wildlife in Edinburgh these days.

Loved the colors in this shot. Remember to be kind to your local pollinators! We need them more than they need us. 💖

And there it is. We’re over the tipping point on renewables. Renewables overtake coal and the increase in energy demand. Genuinely historic and world changing - www.bbc.com/news/article...

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

Thanks. Contending with the rise and fall of the boat was a wee bit challenging. Lots of picture of rocks too!

Farne Islands memories. Great to get the opportunity to photograph Puffins, albeit without touching land due to bird flu. I must try and get back sometime. #birds #wildlife

Compulsive reading. We’re nearer the tipping point on renewables than ever, and China is on on around maximum coal. Great news for the climate and ultimately for energy costs.

"We're likely witnessing the moment when global appetite for oil finally starts to wane, driven not by scarcity but by changes in how the world consumes energy," writes TPN member @ianbremmer.com for @gzeromedia.com .

The world’s appetite for oil may be about to shrink

The UN General Assembly turns 80 this week, and the mood is grim. It’s not just the awful motorcade traffic in New York (do yourself a favor, walk or take the subway).

Since 2014, the number of children living in extreme poverty has fallen by 95 million.

This is despite a temporary setback in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
