Essential read offering a critical look at the cooption of the word ‘sustainability’ within western-capitalist and Eurocentric frameworks. It asks: what are we hoping to sustain? How do we reclaim the transformative potential of sustainability as a concept, movement and way of being? 🫶🏼🌏🌊♻️✊🏼

Social justice and ecological integrity are one and the same thing. Bravo to Greta for highlighting that essential truth. An environmental movement that isn’t intersectional and fails to realise the entanglement between social and ecological harms is doomed to fail. 👏🏼🫶🏼🌎✊🏼🌊🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸

So great catching up with editors & fellow authors at @theconversation.com’s reception in London today! Amidst the bewildering & disturbing muddle of the misonformation age, they play such a crucial role in promoting robust, evidence-based content!
Amazing keynote talk by Prof Nicole Curato on how the ‘broligarchy’ ‘reinforces a privatised, masculinised public sphere’. And bravo to Nicole for acknowledging the enduring legacies of settler colonialisms and how they continue to shape the academy as well 👏🏼✊🏼🌍! #politics #PSA25 #climatejustice
