Good morning, this is Bruno, Geneva Solutions' climate editor, bringing you the latest news and ideas about what can be done to tackle the ecological crisis.
We start with a new book called Return to Earth, promoting an ambitious policy shift over the next decade, and talk to one of its co-authors, Sophie Swaton from Lausanne. Meanwhile, the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement held its first virtual climate summit, and the clean air convention in Europe is making a real difference. |

Photos of the famous Golden Gate Bridge
in San Francisco, California spread like wildfire on social media, as the forest fires in the Western part of the United States continue to cover the region in a ghastly orange glow. On Twitter, Sunrise Movement (@sunrisemvmt) retweeted the photographs taken by Zneha (@mithrilmaker) of the city on 9 September, with a quote on climate change from @MaryHeglar. This was then taken as inspiration for Earthrise Studio (@earthrise.studio) on Instagram to post a series of photos on this crisis event, urging users to act on climate now.
