Encouraging to see a Climate Education Bill to integrate #climatechange and #sustainability into UK's national curriculum 🏫🌎🌊 by

So many facets to explore (I mention a few below!)

#Indigenousknowledge and perspectives, children's thoughts, feelings and ideas on climate change, inequalities re emissions and impacts, what decarbonzation looks like, connections with nature, #biodiversity, human health, #water, agriculture, land use, diets, transit, housing...

It can be difficult to articulate just how inextricably linked human well-being is with #biodiversity.
🐟🌳🐞
Here's a study that puts it in no uncertain terms: biodiversity decline is associated with 500k early deaths/year globally.

The deaths are attributed to loss of access to affordable nutritious food due to a loss of pollinator species populations...which is caused by a host of anthropogenic activities (e.g., habitat loss, intensive farming, harmful pesticides use, #climatechange, etc).

Concentrating urban growth inward (intensifying) is key to tackling #climatechange and Canada’s #housingcrisis.
As far as I’m concerned, ‘intense’ neighbourhoods are just more fun to live in too. Here’s my view from #Mumbai 🏡🛺🌆 #sustainablecities

Here's an article I wrote on my experience living in a typical Mumbai neighbourhood, where everything is close together, its advantages from a sustainability perspective, and the obstacles to creating compact communities in Canada.

The Inquiry - Is India becoming too hot to live in? - BBC Sounds. I spoke to @BBCWorld on heat waves in India along with @_chandnisingh @rocksea and @NavrozDubash @IWMI_ @IWMI_India bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct39…
Excited to share that my article on the #extremeheat in #Mumbai has been published by @globeandmail
Let's hope the increased media attention on these topics translates into swifter #ClimateActionNow

Thrilled to hear about a new #MPA in BC, established by and governed according to the laws and stewardship responsibilities of the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation 🐠🌊
Hopefully a new conservation paradigm for Canada!

An important report on the devastating impacts of #climatechange on Canada's North. Projected damages to infrastructure are among cascading effects on housing, public health, ecosystems and traditional livelihoods.
#climatejustice #reconciliation
📣 NEW REPORT! 📣
Due North shows how #ClimateChange will devastate Northern infrastructure, threatening lives and livelihoods. Northern infrastructure is uniquely vulnerable—especially now the North is warming 3x faster than the global average. #cdnpoli

A great read on the need to rethink our relationship with the outdoors.
"Humans are not only happier outdoors, we're also healthier, whether measured by markers of physical or mental health. Even economic and community health are tied to outdoor exposure."

A great guide for anyone reaching out to Indigenous scholars.

Before moving to Mumbai last year, I was nervous about many aspects of life in India - but surviving the weather was top of my list!🥵
Turns out I was right to be concerned. Here are my reflections on Mumbai's heat:

After the hottest March in 122 years, India's current #heatwave is its 4th in the last 2 months... and we haven't even hit the peak of summer yet.
As always, the vulnerable - like farmers, fishers, other daily wage workers - are the hardest hit.
