That’s the equivalent of 92M tonnes of textile waste pile up yearly. This wasteful system is harming people and the planet.

It's time to rethink fashion & #BeatWastePollution.

Blended finance isnt working. Public resources dominate & the SDGs remain off track. How do we align public-private finance w/ missions like decarbonization? It’s time to rethink how we structure finance to deliver real impact.

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record.

Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January.

But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil.

If you see the atmosphere as a commons - a natural wealth for everyone to access equitably and sustainably - then it's not hard to see how deeply unjust the #COP29 $300bn per year goal from industrialised countries is, when historical responsibilities for excess emissions are taken into account. 1/

We're not mobilising the finance we need to tackle our environmental crises. #COP29 is just the latest example. In our Project Syndicate op ed @jonathanglennie.bsky.social and I argue for a new directed approach where the quality of finance matters as much as the quantity.
