This new QJE paper concludes that the macroeconomic costs of climate change are far greater than earlier estimates suggested. It finds that a 1°C rise in global temperatures reduces world GDP by over 20%.

“What we put into the world, as action or artefact, is how the world is made.
Design is a way of engaging with the greater conversation of how to live together on a planet with limited resources.
Design is thus politics.”

I saw a lovely hybrid digital/instant print camera at GovCamp. The photographer whose it was gave me a sample print, which smelled like Polaroid and did the gradually appearing. Very sweet.
A square graphic rotated slightly clockwise. Inside the square, the text 'ONE TEAM GOV' is stacked in three lines. Both the border and the text use a vibrant color gradient that transitions from bright orange at the top left to deep pink at the bottom right.
The awesome Sam Villis (@stamanfar.bsky.social) hosted the first #OneTeamGov virtual meet-up of 2026 this week.
One of the things we discussed was doing a 10th anniversary #unconference next year in 2027.

The discussion was super-interesting and I think it worked well between Neil’s pitch topic and mine. 🙂
It was a great session!
Sticker that says hope springs from many places
Thank you #ukgc26. Great day, community and discussions.. and hope!
Cool! Thank you!
If you haven’t pitched it yet do you want me to?
I’m here now. Thanks!
Thank you! Feel free to iterate on the idea, if you like.
#ukgc26 I’m on the way, but I will probably miss the pitching. So, if anyone likes this idea and wants to pitch it, I was thinking something like: given the current state of the world, does it make sense for more civil and public servants to join a union in their workplace? Or similar other ?
I thought it’s good luck!
I’m on the 8:32. 😀
Thanks Olly, I’ve gotten on a Leicester train about to leave St P. So I’ll be a little late.
I’ll check that out, thanks!
I’ve also looked at Marylebone but that looks like it has delays as well
**meet up 😀
Where are you, @stefan? Shall we all meet u?
#ukgc26 so very much looking forward to it. Thank you!!! See you next week!!!

🌱 oh no, I really don’t want South London parakeets to decide they like the taste of winter-flowering clematis. (find something else to munch on!!!)
