Such a lovely evening. Thanks to everyone who joined us on Friday

Many people who are concerned about climate change feel “isolated and alone” because they have no idea they are part of 80-89% of people across the world who want their governments to take climate action.

Lovely Quito. Finally had a chance to spend some proper time in the Ecuadorian capital and fell a little in love 💛

Fossil-funded Academic Work Is Being Used to Avoid Paying Workers Impacted by the Deepwater Horizon Explosion Academic research paid for by BP and Exxon is being used to combat workers’ claims that exposure to oil and chemical dispersants made them ill.

I haven’t said much publicly about the podcast I’ve done with @BBCSounds & the great @GeorgiaJCatt yet. But it’s a creepy story about how creepy technology is used to creep out a young woman, my former stepdaughter, Hannah. But that’s only the beginning

Absolutely. Thank you for sharing.

5 countries that really need more travellers in 2025 Incredible destinations that actually want you to visit.

When planning your trips this year, it’s well worth considering the countries being uplifted by tourism. Mostly, I hope this will be the year that we listen and give space to those impacted by overtourism www.timeout.com/travel/count...

I took the Caledonian Sleeper to Aberdeen last year and found that the journey itself was such a highlight (view = 💯 and I slept SO well). Have had a lot of people asking about the sleeper train experience, so put this together to answer those questions www.wanderlustmagazine.com/inspiration/...

We ignore Sudan at our peril. This campaign of mass murder and rape will have global consequences | Nesrine Malik Almost two years into the war, Sudan is facing anarchy, famine, genocide – and ambivalence from the rest of the world Sudan’s war, which began in April 2023, is closing in on its second year. No one expects or becomes accustomed to war, but it is…

Some memories from Antarctica on #AntarcticaDay. Was fortunate to visit for the first time 10 years ago. This was where my learning around climate change and Earth systems truly began

Northeast Arnhem Land sunsets are as beautiful as I imagined. The soundtrack to this evening was the cackle from scores of magpie geese in flight

Excellent (and envious)

Are you heading to Macquarie, too? That whole region blows me away

Thanks, Emma

So helpful, Mary! Thank you
