The impact of Covid has made us more flexible and responsive. It’s made remote working a norm that cuts carbon intensive travel. It's posed new challenges to maintain the human connection. In the meantime the world’s great challenges have not been on holiday, and we’ve got a tonne of work to do.
Today a report shows that the last seven years have been the hottest in history. Heat, droughts and floods are wrecking lives and economies. We’re in the midst of a global, national and local emergency. But the biggest crisis we face is a crisis of inactivity.
We must all build positive momentum with each step we take. So in 2022 I encourage you to learn and do more. The more you do, the more you will prove to yourself and others how change is possible. The more others will follow.
SBN is entering a whole new era in terms of the support we provide. We have a new website in development and a host of new guides and resources rolling off our shelves.
