New job, new film, new book...Merci Olivier Monod @libe Liberation for summarising my 2025 so far!
Indeed I accepted a job offer @ Masaryk University in Czechia. They have a programme on regional peripheries that seems perfect to continue my research on the effects of climate change & market integration on indigenous communities in Papua New Guinea (PNG) (among my other research on social cohesion).
The film "The Researcher" by @produzionifuorifuoco has already been screened in 13 different countries around the world and recently won the award for "Best Educational Pathway Film" @ International Frome Climate Film Festival.
Finally, my book "A fuoco" (Zooming in) has just been published by @feltrinelli_. It’s the diary of my 28,000 km #NoFly journey from PNG to Europe to reduce my carbon footprint.
Many people ask me if losing my job was "worthwhile". These outcomes would make one feel that it was. But, honestly, I would have done the same even if no one had talked about my story and I hadn't "achieved" anything. For me, the important thing was to remain true to my "climate conscience". I couldn't have done otherwise.

Highlighting for #SolarPunkSunday:
@breadandcircuses Let's talk about #Degrowth...
"Imagine an economy designed to serve the planet and ALL its inhabitants, not just the most powerful. What might that look like?
______________________________________
Countries that have overshot ecological limits would scale back their non-essential production and consumption to lessen environmental impacts and to decarbonise more rapidly by:
❇️ Reducing reliance on cheap fossil energy
❇️ Reducing the use of material-intensive luxuries like SUVs, private jets, and oversized homes
❇️ Stopping unsustainable practices such as the industrial production of meat and the culture of fast fashion
❇️ Curbing the wealth excesses of the very rich
❇️ Promoting public transportation over private vehicle use
❇️ Fostering a culture of durability and repairability in consumer goods
Simultaneously, the focus would shift toward enhancing social progress and human well-being by:
🔷 Guaranteeing universal access to high-quality essential public services like healthcare, education, childcare, and transportation
🔷 Ensuring affordable housing and living wages for all
🔷 Implementing a public job guarantee; a nationally-funded program where the municipal government provides jobs to those willing and able to work
Embracing these changes does *not* mean rejecting technology. A balanced approach where technological innovation and efficiency improvements are pursued as long as they are sustainable, safe, and equitable should be encouraged. The focus is on using resources efficiently, distributing them fairly, and scaling down non-essential production to help societies achieve self-sufficiency and justice."

Aviation will be one of the hardest sectors to #decarbonize.
We found that electrochemical fuels (e-fuels) will require (much) more innovation to become part of the solution. Absent strong policy signals, it's not likely to take off. ✈️ In the meantime, hop on a train. 🚅

Great 1.000km train travel from Brno to Milan. Truly love night trains by @unsereOEBB. No wonder trains are fully packed. With @Eurail 2 days of travel cost €100.
✈️=215kg
🚗=166kg
🚌=30kg
🚄= 5kg

Decarbonization is sound economic policy, says the International Monetary Fund:
"The economic benefits of accelerating the transition to low-carbon economy vastly outweigh its cost."
Get in a meeting with your city councilor or county/metro/state legislator, and tell them climate policy needs to aim past electric cars, raise taxes on fossil fuels & road wear (fees scaled per vehicle weight), price congestion while boosting walk/bike/transit access, and let the market decide rather than try subsidizing a giant #EV as the only path to #decarbonize #transportation. Don't assume delivery means an e-van, assume #cargoBikes, #eBikes. Price the emissions or impact. #ClimateAction
Sheer madness and Utter folly! #Labour should ONLY spend to #Decarbonize the #UK, and not to promote half-witted #petprojects. You decide the priorities and #JustSayNO to this #bullshit.

Utter folly - #GreatBritishEnergy (#GBE). #EnergyGrifters. #GriftersGonnaGrift until the #PublicPurse is empty. This is NOT how you #Decarbonize, nor #Electrify.

Attention, all you dumb motherfuckers out there who thought that planting trees would #decarbonize the world while everyone continued on pursuing #BAU; It doesn't work. Old growth is saturated with #Carbon and now is releasing it. New growth takes 25+ years to be able to absorb any carbon. Meanwhile, the carbon #PPM in the atmosphere is rising exponentially. Wake up assholes and embrace #BehavioralChange before it is too late.
