A few hopeful messages have emerged in recent weeks - as we move towards COP26 and the forthcoming EARTHSHOT PRIZE - the programmes began last week and I have a copy of the book for the department.
The Earthshot Prize is centred around five ‘Earthshots’ – simple but ambitious goals for our planet which if achieved by 2030 will improve life for us all, for generations to come. Each Earthshot is underpinned by scientifically agreed targets including the UN Sustainable Development Goals and other internationally recognised measures to help repair our planet.Together, they form a unique set of challenges rooted in science, which aim to generate new ways of thinking, as well as new technologies, systems, policies and solutions. By bringing these five critical issues together, The Earthshot Prize recognises the interconnectivity between environmental challenges and the urgent need to tackle them together.
Also check out the latest issue of GeogPod with David Alcock talking about the work that has fed into his PhD research, which grew from an initial interest in the work of David Hicks and others.
This was followed by the latest issue of Time magazine featuring Jane Goodall.
