    And finally - time to move on.

    This is the Sustainable Futures Report for Thursday, the 30th of November, and finally, it's time to move on.   This is the 477th episode and the final episode after 15 years of publication. After careful consideration I've decided that the Sustainable Futures Report will not return. Before I go I'll take the opportunity to comment on COP28, which starts this week, to suggest some books which you should put on your Christmas list and there's a couple of videos which you really must watch, one from Dave Borlace and another one from Oblivia Coalmine. Find all the details on the website.

    The Greenpeace Debate with Anthony Day on TalkTV

    This is an unexpected bonus edition of the Sustainable Futures Report for Thursday 17th August. Last Saturday, I was asked if I would appear on TalkTV to talk about the Greenpeace action when they sat on the roof of the prime minister's country house in North Yorkshire. You can hear what I said, what the other panellist said and what the public said as well.

    Why Just Stop Oil calls Rishi Sunak worse than a War Criminal

    "Sunak is worse than a war criminal," says Just Stop Oil. "He knows new oil and gas will impose unimaginable suffering and destroy the lives and livelihoods of billions of people. He knows that it will push the world past irreversible tipping points, meaning that the consequences and suffering will echo for centuries. He is risking nothing less than the collapse of human civilisation."

    How Businesses Can Fix the Future

    I talk to Solitaire Townsend, co-founder of Futerra, author, sustainability expert and optimist. She explains how the professionals in PR, Marketing, Accountancy, Lobbying and the Legal profession can smooth the way for the fossil industries and major polluters, or use their power to oppose them. Some are doing both, as she explains. Other businesses have got the message and are doing all they can - but they're "green hushing". You'll find out what that is.
