NEF turns 40 this year! So we challenged our chief executive @dhnnjyn.bsky.social to name as many things NEF has contributed to the world as he could in 40 seconds.
From the Happy Planet Index to a National Energy Guarantee, we think he did a good job - but is there anything you think he missed?
Great piece by @ingridrobeyns.bsky.social on the dangers of extreme wealth. Yes, we need to tax billionaires better but we also need to have a societal conversation about how much is too much. Find out more at extremewealthline.com

Also was the amazing latte art at venue official campaign branding?
"Change begins with an argument" @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social sets out his vision of "progressive capitalism." Not sure I agree with all his analysis (role of markets) or answers (oil and gas) but good to see him engage seriously on economic policy, esp on growth with a purpose & tackling wealth
NEF turns 40 this year! 🎉 🎂 For four decades we have pushed for an economy which serves both people and the planet.
In July we will be celebrating NEF's anniversary with @mayorofgm.bsky.social, Jayati Ghosh, @dhnnjyn.bsky.social, @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social and Ed Mayo.
Great to see @libdems.org.uk promising an Essential Energy Guarantee. As my colleagues have argued, this is exactly the sort of policy we need to address cost of living, energy security and green transition all at once. Well done @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

Fascinating to hear a Chief Economist of a commercial bank (Triodos) talk about how fundamentally flawed the financial system is. And inspiring to hear his ideas for how we change the rules so that finance works for people and planet, not the other way around
Good to hear that these awards are back. As someone said in an essay last week, we need a debate about policies not people so may the best ideas win! #VoteNEF
A great op-ed by @alemanno.bsky.social @theguardian.com on the parable of plastic bottle cap: an inspiring example effective regulations protecting nature and curbing irresponsible corporate behaviour www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
So worrying to hear about ebola outbreak in DRC. My takeaway when I saw the response in 2019 was that this sort of crisis could be prevented with relatively small amounts of effective aid. My heart goes out to those in the affected regions and the brave health workers responding to this outbreak

Just as the ‘poverty line’ determines what’s required for basic living, we need a ‘wealth line’ to show when extreme wealth becomes harmful, says economist and philosopher Ingrid Robeyns
The government must take a three-pronged approach to avoid a triple crisis of soaring inflation, reduced demand and possible recession.

Supporters of deregulation want Europe to be more like the US. But that would serve only American interests, says Alberto Alemanno, a professor of EU law
