Travelling 24hrs by coach from Milan to London to attend Global Tipping Points conference @uniofexeter https://global-tipping-points.org/conference-2025/,
I am excited to learn state-of-the-art on climate+social tipping points with #TimLenton,#JohanRockström & Co & about climate communication from @DoctorVive et al.

New job, new film, new book...Merci Olivier Monod @libe Liberation for summarising my 2025 so far!
Indeed I accepted a job offer @ Masaryk University in Czechia. They have a programme on regional peripheries that seems perfect to continue my research on the effects of climate change & market integration on indigenous communities in Papua New Guinea (PNG) (among my other research on social cohesion).

The film "The Researcher" by @produzionifuorifuoco has already been screened in 13 different countries around the world and recently won the award for "Best Educational Pathway Film" @ International Frome Climate Film Festival.

Finally, my book "A fuoco" (Zooming in) has just been published by @feltrinelli_. It’s the diary of my 28,000 km #NoFly journey from PNG to Europe to reduce my carbon footprint.

Many people ask me if losing my job was "worthwhile". These outcomes would make one feel that it was. But, honestly, I would have done the same even if no one had talked about my story and I hadn't "achieved" anything. For me, the important thing was to remain true to my "climate conscience". I couldn't have done otherwise.

Se passate da Cherasco questa sera non perdetevi "Il Ricercatore", film sul mio viaggio di ricerca lento e a basse emissioni di carbonio. #RefuseToFly #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction

In second place on my list of most valuable belongings, after data, are Persian carpets.So I took them with me on my last 1300km/17-hour trip from Kiel to Milan.35 kg of cargo arrived safely on public transport.
CO2 emissions:
=15kg
=215kg
=221kg
#RefuseToFly

I held on to my flat in Kiel until the end because I thought I'd get my job back. After the legal settlement has been reached, it's time I handed over the keys & definitely turned the page to a new chapter in my life. I have no regrets and would #RefuseToFly over & over again, even at the cost of losing my job.

Very pleased with showing in my hometown of Milan the story of my 42.000km no-fly journey to research climate adaptation. Some people even shed some tears.
Carlo Monguzzi & Simonetta D'Amico councillors of @ComuneMI & @MassimoCirri for collaborating in the event. The trailer of the film by P. Casalis @produzionifuorifuoco https://produzionifuorifuoco.it/portfolio_ricercatore.html

#RefuseToFly #ClimateEmergency

"Is it worthwhile?" asked @teleambiente after I was fired for refusing to take a plane from Papua New Guinea to Europe. My answer has always been: "Yes, it would have been worthwhile even if nobody had taken any notice about my story, because being faithful to my climate conscience is more important than money". Full Interview https://youtube.com/watch?v=OJcaJehFNqg . to journalists Mario Messina & Bianca Amato, also starring in the trailer of the documentary film on my journey (with my very patient dad) https://www.produzionifuorifuoco.it/portfolio_researcher.html #staygrounded #ClimateEmergency #noflight #conscience #RefuseToFly

My legal battle to regain my job
@kielinstitute starts tomorrow. Inevitably, it involves a night train. In Papua I learned that there isn't a conflict that doesn't have a resolution.
I'm confident I can win back my post. And so are 9,000+people https://innn.it/klimaforscher-entlassen
Most importantly, I'd like to enshrine into law that an employee can't be fired for their conscientious objection to flying. #ClimateCrisis #RefuseToFly #ClimateAction #GlobalWarming #GlobalWarmingInThePipeline

"What can I do to alert the public that we are deep in climate crisis? Civil disobedience - and losing my job to #RefuseToFly - are some answers". Thanks Marc Zollinger for the article @NZZ and Bianca Litscher for the portrait. Auf German: https://magazin.nzz.ch/nzz-am-sonntag/

"The really crazy thing is to do nothing".Thanks www.profil.at for telling my experience of losing my job to #RefuseToFly.

"A dormitory with over 100 people, bedbugs, the pain of insect bites.You forget all that when you look at the ocean and the waves. You feel the wind and are far away from everything." & that is nothing compared to losing the crops giving you food, as is occurring to PNG people.
Please read what #Slowtravel makes possible.
