The origin story of my favorite literature handling software. I have been a user since 2016.

‘Healthy ecosystems are more resilient than degraded landscapes: when the rain finally returns, Parrag's lake will refill, storing water for future use. Healthy floodplains can absorb excess water and release it slowly afterwards.’ europeancorrespondent.com/en/r/the-ama...

We are all deeply dependent and connected to nature. Never forget who feeds us.

The ones I speak fluently: Diversitet, Diversity. The ones I can get by in: Mangfåld, Diversité, Diversität. The ones where I may get a little from reading: Diversidad, Diversità, Diversidade. The ones I appreciate the sounds of but not any of the content: Monimuotoisuus, Różnorodność, ποικιλία

🇪🇺 How many languages do you speak? Languages give us different ways to express ideas, feelings and experiences, while helping us connect with people and cultures across Europe. Today, we celebrate Europe’s linguistic diversity and its 24 official EU languages. 🇪🇺

At the moment we have no real idea how to scale up carbon removal--it's a hair on the mole of the ugly backside of the global hydrocarbon industry But we do know how to scale up solar panels and wind turbines and batteries. So that's our job billmckibben.substack.com/p/facts-on-t...

Across Africa, governments that cannot afford to prepare for climate disasters must borrow to fund recovery efforts, leaving them with even less money to prepare for the next one, Maurice Oniang’o writes.

We need much more independent journalism. Like this. When I think of the administration of EU-projects I'm involved in and in contrast the lack of control with MEPs, I'm infuriated.

When you can spell Czikszentmihalyi without double-checking you have cleared a level in the psychology academia game. I’m nowhere near.

Work interrupts my reading today. But I gave the summer a run for its money - 6 new books and 3 revisits. One physical, one digital and 7 audios. Even one that is not listed on Goodreads. Those dog walking hours are precious book consumption periods.

Library workers are unsung heroes! Fantastic episode.

Most governments find the loss of entire world regions to uninhabitable climate scenarios and the untold suffering of humans - and animals - easier to imagine, than the transition away from oil and gas. As Amitav Gosh said, the climate crisis is a crisis of our imagination.

Irony being fried in the heatwave. A London Climate Action Week event on adaptation to extreme heat was cancelled because of... extreme heat. The venue didn't have any AC. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

ICCAS2026.

ICCAS2026 with an evocative start!

Keystone species! Also in cities.

And this is why Gary Snyder’s collected poems has its permanent position at my bedside and is dusted of regularly.

Almost reading the greats. (my latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books)

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

The most profound change that requires effort but little investment at individual level is increased consumption of all types of plant-origin food. That will also reduce societal perception of what type of food is normal, which again makes it less risky for policymakers to implement larger changes.

A record 814GW of new solar and wind capacity was installed globally in 2025, representing a 17% increase on the 696GW deployed in 2024 www.businessgreen.com/news/4527230...

We need to conserve forests to manage global food risks. On International Day of Forests, we highlight the work of Agnes Pranindita, who recently defended her PhD thesis on moisture recycling in forest–agricultural systems. Learn more about one of the studies in her thesis: buff.ly/9YWd2NQ

Nørrebro’s wide bicycle lanes!

Wholesale electricity was nearly free overnight because of wind power. Why isn't that headline news on #r4today?

Besøgte en gammel ven for at blive opfrisket på utilpassede eksistensers tanker og bekymringer. Helt fantastisk

Bright and strong women leading the change towards a sustainable future

Agency. Equality under the law. Opportunities. This is the foundation of a gender-equal, sustainable future. For #InternationalWomensDay I answered a few quick questions from the @unep.org team. My advice? Don’t be intimidated. Make your voice heard. What advice would you share? Who inspires you?

Happy Mother Language Day!

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

The new Intergovernmental Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste and Pollution (ISP-CWP) will provide the world with the science and data we need to: ✅ Prevent pollution ✅ Ensure the sound management of chemicals ✅ Manage waste better Understand more as #ISPCWP1 continues: www.unep.org/isp-cwp

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

We can either invest into nature’s destruction or power its recovery. The new @unep.org State of Finance for Nature report shows that for every $1 the world invests in protecting nature, it spends $30 destroying it. Find out more: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

A coordinated release of global climate data in the face of political attacks on science allows the measurements to speak for themselves and define the reality of a rapidly warming planet.

Inclusion and equitable. Keywords in our future

“If that’s how it works with dictators, then the United States knows what to do next,” President Zelensky said when asked about the unfolding events in Venezuela. 😁

Pastoralists are stewards of Indigenous & local knowledge, & care for rangelands that span half the planet. In this 2026 International #YearofRangelandsPastoralists, we honour both the lands & the communities that depend on them. 👉 buff.ly/3MkHo6C #IYRP2026

Dear Mother Earth, Thank you for the countless gifts you share with us every day, year after year: clean air, fresh water, abundant life, and endless beauty. Let us honor your generosity by protecting and restoring what sustains us all. Always with care, #GenerationRestoration

Putin wants a weak and divided Europe. Now Trump has joined him. Their weapon: social media. Pro-European voices are silenced. Far-right extremists are boosted. Europe has a weapon too, the Digital Services Act. So why aren’t you using it, dear European Commission?

A resilient planet depends on Indigenous leadership. At the #UNEA7 Special Dialogue on Indigenous Peoples, we reaffirmed that Indigenous knowledge systems, sciences, and practices are vital to the planet’s survival - and @unep.org will not stop listening, learning and championing Indigenous rights.

Indigeneous knowledge systems for regeneration of fertile landscapes. Beautiful!
