Pope Francis was a powerful voice for displaced people, the planet and peace. In 2021, he welcomed Little Amal to Vatican City with open arms. His powerful voice and presence will be deeply missed. May his legacy continue to inspire a more just and caring world 🧡 #PopeFrancis #RefugeesWelcome

If you work in climate, politics, or just want to understand what global agreements really take, go see Kyoto It’s fierce, funny, and painfully relevant. The kind of storytelling we need more of. Playing Soho Place Theatre, London until 3 May 🎭 #ClimateStorytelling #KyotoPlay #ClimateAction #COP3

Chantal Kerr-Sheppard 🌱🌍@chantalks.bsky.social · last yr.

The most moving part? Seeing how nations with vastly different agendas did come to an agreement It’s easy to feel cynical about global climate talks, especially in our current divided era, but this is a powerful reminder that unity is possible when urgency outweighs ego #COPHistory #KyotoPlay

I saw Kyoto last night at Soho Place. It is staggering and terrifying. I still feel pretty shaken up. One of the most eye-opening pieces of theatre I've seen in years. Staged simply, performed impeccably. If you can, go and see it. @the-rsc.bsky.social

While in London for energy discussions, I caught the fantastic Kyoto play @sohoplace particularly good for energy, climate multilateral nerds like me, but think it would be funny and thoughtprovoking for most.

This is a great play. In ’97 I was BBC Environment Correspondent & was right beside Japanese PM Hashimoto as he welcomed Al Gore with this: “It would be going much better if not for you”. He didn't know we were filming. Gore’s grin went rictus. All on camera. seatplan.com/london/kyoto...
