We love seeing this! 🌊🩵🤙🏼 “Philanthropists understand that the oceans aren’t just a victim of climate change; they can be a source for potential solutions. You want to maintain small-scale coastal communities, the ocean is your solution. You want to get nutrition to kids, the ocean can be part of the solution.” #ocean #oceanconservation https://lnkd.in/ejAfv2Qp

A sad indictment of our failure as individuals and communities and leaders and the press. It was already crystal clear in the 2000s that 2020-2030 would be the decade when time was out; 50 years ago sufficiently clear; for every matter worthy of the label to be focussed on addressing climate change and the rest of our challenges. https://lnkd.in/eTUPXKyc

Recently, Imagine5 had an interesting conversation with Mike Berners-Lee, diving into our understanding of carbon footprints and fostering honest dialogues about climate change.
