Labour’s Manifesto: an initial analysis of the presumptive next U.K. Government’s stance on…resilience…

Creating the future our hearts know is possible | Local Futures
In this episode, Rupert explores the possibilities for renewal and reconnection latent within the ecological, social and spiritual catastrophes of industrial modernity.

He calls us to take action at the level of human-scale groups and institutions to bring about the local future “our hearts know is possible”, making a plea that we embrace this future through conscious choice, rather than being delivered to it through traumatic collapse.

Phoenix, dodo or butterfly? Three futures for East Anglia
This opinion piece first appeared in the Eastern Daily Press here. Let me transport you a decade into the future, in this vulnerable and beautiful part of the world that we share, out here in the East. It’s 2034. Little progress has been made worldwide or in this country at making us safe against climate breakdown. Here in East Anglia, we are, as a result, increasingly vulnerable to extreme temperatures – and extreme ‘weather events’ aka climate disasters. It’s early autumn.
