SEE YOU IN COURT! Galba and @wearepossible have been informed that our cases against the government’s dangerous ‘Jet Zero’ aviation strategy WILL go to a joint hearing in court. Pls spread the word 🧵 1/
‘Jet Zero’ cannot reduce emissions in line with the UK’s legally binding climate commitments. It is based on plans to expand aviation and wishful thinking about the ability of “pie in the sky technologies” to balance out the increased emissions.🧵 2/
In just the last few weeks - ‘Jet Zero’ received two death blows from The Royal Society and Imperial College London who analysed all the measures that the government proposes in ‘Jet Zero’ to cut aviation emissions. They were all judged to be INADEQUATE. 🧵3/
Delighted to say that I’ve (finally) got my Masters from @BristolUni @cabotinstitute
I’ve spent the last couple of years trying to better understand UK media narratives and social norms around #FlightFree travel. Here’s a bit about why, and what I found 🧵

Why?
👉🏽 Lots of research on why ppl who fly don’t want to reduce flying, but very little on people who #FlyLess
👉🏽 Air travel responsible for around 12% UK household emissions
👉🏽 As @_wearepossible showed, it’s an equity issue. 15% of the population in the UK takes 70% of flights

Air travel isn’t just a choice – it’s deeper than that.
Cheap flights, media narratives and social norms (eg stag dos) have made air travel normal.
It's become entwined into our relationships and how we plan our daily lives.

🏖️🏄♀️🌴Sommer, Sonne, Urlaubszeit: Heute arbeite ich an einem Impuls für @S4F_Kassel zum Thema #NachhaltigReisen und dachte, ich lasse euch daran teilhaben. Ein🧵voller Ideen (plus ein paar persönlichen Erfahrungen und vielen hübschen Bildern)📸 (1/n)
(2/n) Was bedeutet es eigentlich, "nachhaltig" zu reisen? Für mich fällt darunter weit mehr, als nur klimaneutral von A nach B zu kommen. Wem schade oder nutze ich ggf. mit meiner Reise? Wovon profitiere ich - und kann ich u.U. was zurückgeben?
(3/n) Reisen zu können, ist ein unglaubliches Privileg (und Fernreisen sowieso). Wusstet ihr z.B. dass ihr mit einem dt. Reisepass visumsfrei in 190 Länder reisen könnt? Das ist Platz 3 auf der Weltrangliste atlasandboots.com/travel-blog/mo…
Last week I made an unforgettable journey 🚞🏔️
Traveling back from work meetings in Italy 🇮🇹, I decided to go back to Brussels 🇧🇪 the slow way. And that obviously means up the #BerninaBahn
A photo-thread of one of the most beautiful alpine railways, winter wonderland edition ❄️

Trip starts in Tirano 🇮🇹
Early start to catch the first train of the day, the 7:41 R train to St Moritz 🇨🇭
This early departure will allow me to arrive to Brussels 🇧🇪 on the same day.
The sun is just rising and I see no clouds around. It's time for #FensterAuf and 📸

Across the square and up we go!
We start "low" at 429 meters above sea level. In roughly 1½ hours, we will be up at 2253 meters above sea level.
The Bernina is the only alpine railway crossing that literally goes up to the top of the mountain pass, instead of using long tunnels

It's normal to fly on holiday in the summer, isn't it? ☀️🛫
Globally, it's anything but standard. While it may seem normal for Western Europeans and Americans to fly, this "normality" has only existed in recent decades and is still rare worldwide: stay-grounded.org/get-informatio…

It is difficult to find exact figures, but estimates suggest that about 10% or between 5% and 20% of the world's population has ever flown. Many people cannot afford to fly or are not allowed to do so because of restrictive migration policies. #ClimateJustice #FlyLess
What we need is freedom of movement for all people - and a mobility system that is just and climate-friendly!

I’m off - Day 1 of my #trainadventure travelling from Edinburgh to Hong Kong! 🚂
Train #1 from Edinburgh to London was cancelled 😕 so I get two trains instead of one... first to Carlisle on @TPExpressTrains, next stop London with @AvantiWestCoast 🙂

My first peer reviewed article was published today! I'm grateful for the chance to write about my Master's thesis and share some of my thinking about #climatechange and #narrativedissonance . Please get in touch if you're interested in chatting more. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
My qualitative study looked at the #stories of young people who already know about and care about #climatechange. I wanted to know: how are they making sense of climate change in their everyday lives? How are they responding, and is that #engagement meaningful to them?
I used Marshall Ganz's framework for public narrative to map out the barriers to engagement across participant stories. Essentially, I was looking for clues as to where #climatenarratives break down, or become meaningless, even for those convinced and caring. #climatechange
