Understanding Climate Change: Resources for Education (2025 Update)

Climate science and related disciplines (like social and economic science on climate change impacts and solutions) is constantly envolving. Back in 2020, I was comissioned by the Geographical Association to produced some member-access resources, with some minor updates for 2022.

Learning From Malawi

We all have experiences in our lives that change our mentality and perspective - for better or worse. Some of these experiences even change who we are.

So in celebration and preparation for that, I will be re-blogging the thoughts I made during my visit to Malawi in 2013.

We are all made of stars

From 2013: A colleague and I went off-grid for a couple of days: Mcheneka is approx 15km WSW of Dedza – not far at all, you may say. But the way is by unpaved dirt road, full of bruising divots and bumps... and we decided to go by bicycle taxi... #Malawi
