“The best crisis we’ve ever created” – and other insights from London Climate Action Week
My thoughts and reflections from attending various London Climate Action Week events. We must change how we eat, how we work and how we live.
One year on: embracing uncertainty
I’m supposed to be back in London right now, sitting behind a computer, probably on Level 23, at Barclays’ global headquarters in Canary Wharf, surrounded by glass and steel. Instead, I’m in Puerto Varas, a town on the edge of…

Two reflections from my first four months off work
