My book is published today in the US 🇺🇸

Published in the UK (& elsewhere) on 11th.

It looks at 7 of our big environmental problems & how to solve them.

These problems are massive. Urgent. But solvable. It's a critical decade for us to take action.

This shows the share of global electricity production coming from solar and wind.

• In 2012, it was just 3%.
• Five years later, in 2017, it had doubled to 6%.
• Five years after that, in 2022, it had doubled again to 12%.

The world is full of problems, which people are often very aware of. But most people have no idea about the many improvements we have visualized, and therefore they lose hope for the future and think the world is doomed.

LEEP is doing amazing work on tackling lead pollution.

If you're looking for an impactful role, then I'd recommend working with them.

Lead pollution is an underrated problem. For more on this, see Lucia Coulter's interview with 80,000 Hours: 80000hours.org/podcast/episod…

We started Malengo Inc. in 2021 to support Ugandan students on their journey to a Bachelor's degree in Germany. We admitted 10 students in 2021; 30 in 2022; and 120 in 2023.

Our next goal: FOUR HUNDRED!

We urgently need both investors and donors — please read and spread widely! 1/n

About 1.2 million people die from tuberculosis every year.

Until now, however, we didn't cover this infectious disease on Our World in Data, it was an important gap in our publication.

Saloni and Fiona Spooner changed this. Here is our new page on TB:

Building a global public good is immensely rewarding yet equally challenging. It's the generous support from donors what allows us to keep going.

Covid brought the reality of pandemics to the forefront of public consciousness. But pandemics have afflicted humanity for millennia.

How many deaths were caused by different pandemics, and how have researchers estimated their death tolls?

I made a giant graphic this week... to highlight just how many countries are already well into a period of fossil fuel decline in their power sectors.

Half of the world's economies (107!) are already five years past a peak in fossil power generation.
