1/ The sustainability transition doesn’t just advance from the top down and the bottom up – change also happens in the middle, and that’s where most of us can make a real difference
Quick thread on a great new paper showing how *everyone* has an influential role to play

🔥 Individual or system change?🔥
This debate has been at the center of much of my social media engagement for years (causing a fair bit of frustration). Yet I have never published research directly addressing it. Until now. 🧵

Wow - awesome tool from @kimberlynicholas.bsky.social & Project Drawdown.
Answer a few questions & it identifies your "climate superpowers," & gives a personalized set of actions ranked by actual impact, not just the easy stuff.
It's quick & easy to see how you can help: jointheshift.earth/guide/
Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Back in 2012 we did a figure comparing historical emissions to previous generations of emission scenarios. rdcu.be/brDGx
Surprisingly, the figure is still doing the rounds. We update it every year, with many interesting changes primarily due to revisions in land-use change emissions.

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.
Does packing lighter make a difference?
@globalecoguy.bsky.social and @kimberlynicholas.bsky.social answered:
✈️ Flying less matters far more than how you pack
💺 Bigger levers: fly economy (2–5x lower footprint than business/first class) and book direct

I like how Kimberly breaks down these actions.

Another great newsletter from @kimberlynicholas.bsky.social It's really hard to strike a balance between realism, concrete action and also readability but Kim's newsletters consistently make me feel better after reading them, without sugarcoating things.
