It is St George’s Day! So how should we talk about England? Luckily, my friend Tom Baldwin and I have written a book all about that … He outlines what it says here: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

On #EarthDay , we must stand for our planet.

A planet threatened by climate change, by pollution, by biodiversity loss.

A planet that needs to be rescued.

So we must unite.

And we must mobilize all our efforts for #ClimateAction .

Happy #EarthDay !🌍🎉

Today, we reflect and celebrate the interconnectedness of people, nature and climate. We envision a new era in which we can meet people’s needs while addressing climate change and protecting nature.

Great discussions with the World Resources Inst executive team and at the Spring #WBGMeetings trying to chart a better future for people, nature and climate

Surprise! This report isn’t about abolishing the Foreign Office (tho’ it suggests changing the name) or denigrating the UK’s history. It’s a thoughtful piece about Britain’s interests in a changing world and how to organise government to deliver them. 1/8 ucl.ac.uk/policy-lab/sit…

It's time to reform UK foreign affairs to safeguard future UK prosperity and security.

Policy Lab Honorary Professor Moazzam Malik speaking on BBC Radio 4 Today about our new report with Hertford College, Oxford The World in 2040: Renewing the UK’s Approach to International Affairs.
