‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers –That perches in the soul –And sings the tune without the words –And never stops – at all –– Emily Dickinson There is a wonderful scene in the 1997 film The English Patient where Captain Kip, a Sikh bomb disposal expert, takes Hana, a Canadian nurse, to an Italian baroque church, on the back of his motorbike. The two have recently fallen in love amid the desolation and brokenness of the concluding months of the second world war.

Illuminating, thoughtful and deeply knowledgeable, Nature’s Ghosts is the debut book from Sophie Yeo, the founder of Inkcap Journal. It is a beautifully written reflection on humans’ impact on the natural world and the scope for its restoration and perhaps even redemption. I found it moving and insightful on every page. The sheer quality of the writing is at times quite wonderful, with echoes of Rowan Williams and Oliver Rackham.

Edward Davey is head of the World Resources Institute Europe UK Office. In three vital and interrelated areas – climate, development and nature – the next UK government could play a significant role in driving progress at a critical time. It needs to start office on day one with a plan that positions the UK ahead of key summits on those issues – summits that will have a critical bearing on people, planet, and future generations. The time to start preparing is now.

Food has long been absent from UN climate summits — a major oversight given food systems’ vast interconnections with the climate. COP28 in Dubai righted this wrong with a series of breakthroughs at the nexus between food systems, food and nutrition security, agriculture and climate. Food and land use drive one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Food and land use drive one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions.
