One big change that has led to the success of India’s space sector in the last 9 years is the involvement of private sector in helping ISRO innovate while the government has played the role of an ‘enabler’, removing bottlenecks in any space mission

Greta Thunberg: not phasing out fossil fuels is ‘death sentence’ for world’s poor.
"A lack of political will to halt fossil fuel exploration and use was threatening to raise global temperatures by more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, which could lead the climate to pass “tipping points”, a cascade of impacts that could create runaway global heating."
“We are still rushing towards the cliff. We could trigger feedback loops that are beyond human control, that would throw countless billions under the bus.”

Result of #segregation by #design: Non-whites are much more likely to be #fatally struck by #cars when #walking or #biking, the consequences of #redlining and #urbanrenewal. (Similar to El Camino!) The solutions are relatively simple but the lack of #funding and #politicalwill have been barriers.

@WBOrcutt @hannu_ikonen @rbreich | Another great way to find some energy and hope in exciting local leader #politicalwill around climate action is to listen to the amazing folks I've interviewed for my Living Change climate leadership podcast (I talk with lawmakers from Culver City and Baltimore, and more, and corporate and cultural influencers. Each interview gave me HOPE and energy to continue the push. https://link.cohostpodcasting.com/2cb109d3-1bf3-4c8a-abcd-c2d0a6c17db9?d=sfaGM4PgE

@dmoser I interviewed 5 local political leaders with #politicalwill to be seen #LivingChange and having a real climate influence for my podcast. Most recent episode - Baltimore/MD Delegate Robbyn Lewis tells a very energizing social justice story. She is #carfree herself. We need to amplify the stories of those leaders who ARE living these values in their own lives to change #leadership social norms: https://link.cohostpodcasting.com/2cb109d3-1bf3-4c8a-abcd-c2d0a6c17db9?d=sfaGM4PgE

Wisdom from Gaia Vince in The Guardian:

"We need honesty from our leaders about what our choices are and what the trade-offs will be for each of us. There are no easy options now, but there are still plenty of choices for us to discuss, debate and democratically decide on."

Just dropped a new #LivingChange #podcast episode - in conversation with the amazing Delegate Robbyn Lewis of #Baltimore #MD, talking #transit as a lynchpin of #democracy and #socialjustice. Do not miss this one, friends. She's a leader to learn from. #cities #politicalwill

Car free zones in #Bellingen?
In 2017, Ghent introduced its circulatieplan (circulation plan) which removed traffic from the city centre using #carfree zones.
Since then there has been more space for #pedestrians and cyclists with only a select group of vehicles such as emergency services, trams, buses and taxis able to enter.
