'Effective #ClimateAction isn't just about pushing for change; pacing ourselves is a necessity. This isn't a 100m sprint. It's the most extensive ultra-marathon in history, and our goal is to bring billions with us across the finish line.' - Prof. Katharine Hayhoe

So, pace yourself, folks. ❤️

Happy #WorldPenguinDay 🐧

As Mayor Jamie Driscoll is the only candidate to have mentioned #Climate in his statement in this booklet he'll get my vote in the #NEMayoralElections . Even better, it was in the context of #Climate Education 💚💫🤗

Dr Catherine Walker refers to research by Caroline Hickman Caroline Hickman and Climate Psychology about sources of climate anxiety
