As ever, I have been covering a lot more of my own ongoing thinking and work on my Substack channel, Rewilding Markets, in recent months. But this video interview with Claire Scobie in Australia was a reminder of some of the things that have been happening but haven’t been making it onto Substack.
But some personal activities have made the cut. Examples include moth-spotting during a second visit to Westerlands on the Suxxes Downs and a Deep Time safari Gaia and undertook recently under the streets of our home city, London.
An unexpected surprise came when a hummingbird hawk moth found its way into our Barnes kitchen a week or so ago. It’s the first time we have seen one here in more than 50 years. I immediately wondered whether it had been attracted by the pickerel weed in our garden pond, which Gaia dug for us some years ago. And it turns out that it’s a favourite nectar source.
With the heat dome hitting Elaine hard, meanwhile, I have been spending a lot of time at home, writing and reading. And I have been working on the Green Paper, 2037: The Sustainability Outlook, that we (Volans, GlobeScan and ERM) will publish in October. The idea is that this, in turn, wil evolve into a White Paper, to be launched in January 2027 – as we enter the fifth decade of the era defined by the 1987 Brundtland Commission report, Our Common Future.
More anon, I suspect.
