خوشحالم که امسال هم برای دومین سال پیاپی، داور جوایز قهرمانان محیط‌زیست لندن هستم؛ این بار به‌عنوان مدیر ارتباطات پروژه شکوفایی ایران و از نویسندگان گروه محیط‌زیست این پروژه.
برای من، این حضور فرصتی است تا پروژه شکوفایی ایران و نگاه آن به جایگاه محیط‌زیست در آینده ایران را به فعالان این حوزه معرفی کنم و زمینه ارتباط و تبادل تجربه را فراهم سازم.
در پروژه شکوفایی ایران، برای آینده‌ای برنامه‌ریزی می‌کنیم که در آن هوای پاک، حفاظت از طبیعت و سلامت مردم از اولویت‌های توسعه کشور باشند.

Third ‘deflection’ suggests climate change is always someone else’s fault
This stops action as it blames everyone else - like personal carbon footprints 👣 invented by fossil fuel ⛽️ companies to shift blame away from them

Second ‘Delay’ suggests we need to wait for new technology
Which ignores how bad climate change is and how much 21st technology we already have
Delay is denial in slow motion

These results show once again that clean power is the right choice, with new onshore wind and solar 50% cheaper than building and running new gas.
By backing renewables at scale, we’re lowering bills and taking back control of our energy security.
