What the Middle East war has done for renewables? This week’s piece is on the unforeseen consequences of the war in the Middle East. Given the hostility of the Trump Administration to renewables there is a fine irony here, though what will have been gained has come at massive cost in human suffering: in lives lost and maimed, homes destroyed and communities uprooted. Not to speak of the resources spent on prosecuting the war and carbon released by it. Read full article on our site - link in bio

A Ray of Hope - You may already be picking up in the media on this forthcoming conference for which preliminaries start today. Though the coverage may not be widespread, it is hugely significant. It concerns a large group of countries which will come together next week in Colombia to chart a roadmap out of fossil fuels, a course of action denied by successive COPs.

Paying the price of climate change - The worst effects of climate change are being felt in countries which are the least to blame for the crisis and which are, at the same time, the least equipped to cope with it. If you want to read more on the subject I recommend Mary Robinson’s 2018 book Climate Justice: Hope, Resilience and the Fight for a Sustainable Future and Cass R Sunstein’s 2025 Climate Justice: What Rich Nations Owe the World - and the Future.

This week’s piece is on the subject of climate justice. Read full article on our site - link in bio

Why is my chocolate so expensive? Wherever you are you will almost certainly have noticed that chocolate is much more expensive than it used to be, and perhaps, too, that it has shrunk in size. How should you respond? Perhaps by buying less – yes. Perhaps by eking it out, which in the end amounts to the same thing. But may I suggest that when you shop, you buy Fairtrade chocolate? By doing so you will be benefitting those cocoa farmers who sell into the Fairtrade market which guarantees them a fair price and a ‘premium’ for development. Fairtrade also provides training to help them adapt to the uncertainties of the weather made worse by climate change. Read full article on our site - link in bio
