My new book Beyond Neighbourhood Planning is out from @policypress:

“The best thing I’ve ever read about urban planning. Razor-sharp and cutting through jargon and convention" Quintin Bradley, Leeds Beckett University
Essential reading on localism!
Doing science with citizens at Lancaster university - on climate and many other things!
To kick off the new year, we'd like to celebrate all our citizen scientists working with Lancaster researchers to make the world a better and more interesting place! 👥🔬

New research-based report on priorities for public engagement on climate policy. Would have been useful and important 2 weeks ago, doubly so now!
💡NEW REPORT:
We summarise our recent research on how the public currently feel about climate change – what action they want and what they find frustrating – and offer three priorities for policy makers that will help achieve better climate action. 1/5

More reasons why the new @QUENCHNetwork paper is important...
- Half the world's population live in #urban areas with limited access to #nature.
- Access to nature benefits #HumanHealth, but this is about more than green features.
- Future #UrbanEnvironments must account for environmental functioning too:

Long, worthwhile thread on new report on where we are and where we need to be in carbon emissions. LT;DR: the gap is large and virtually unchanged from last year. NDCs are not adding up to a pathway in line with 1.5 or 2C
Another year, another climate gap. 🌍🔥🌡️
It's the 15th time I joined the lead author team of the @UNEP #Emissionsgap report.
How high are global emissions?
What have countries pledged?
And is this all aligned with the Paris Agreement?
Let’s dig in with a 🧵/1

We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled. We are stepping into a critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis. Read report here doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biae0…

What would community-powered development look like?
Our grid sets out the limits of the existing planning system that gives communities a narrow window for influence.
And what the features of a better system could be - one that fully involves communities in decision-making.

Mañana comienza la Cumbre de la Biodiversidad, la #COP16.
Momento ideal para mirar "the big picture" y dejar de ver la crisis climática únicamente como un problema de exceso de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero.

🌳 New paper alert! 🌳
🌻 Was so fun to be part of @QUENCHNetwork+talk big ideas+ project design with academics+practitioners from across disciplines. Learnt so much through this process+would love to do something similar again
🦋 Read about those ideas 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/ar… – at University of Sussex, England

The rest of England?
£2 price cap (for one journey) is due to end in December 2024. After that, fares will go up!

So the North is now officially just north of the river...
A Parliament which began with promises of “levelling up” ends with money promised to the North being redirected back to London.
Britain needs major change.
