Every week, I share stories that reflect where we are, what’s at stake, and how we're already able to shape a better future. Here's this week’s! ✅ Good News: China’s often painted as a climate villain by those trying to prevent climate action elsewhere: but a new Carbon Brief analysis finds its clean energy technology exports are already reducing global emissions—1% this year alone, and 4 billion tonnes over their lifetimes. ⚠️ Bad News: Just the last few weeks, extreme heat and floods have swept Europe, Asia, and North America. Climate change is loading the extreme weather dice against us, putting lives, homes, and infrastructure at risk. 💡 Inspiration: After John, a retired school principal, read my book Saving Us, that explains how climate conversations can catalyze action, he started talking to neighbours about his EV and solar panels, and teamed up with community orgs to engage local youth in climate and nature.
