As UK politics turns both right and left, how do we get degrowth onto the agenda?
"Neither the embryonic Your Party, nor even the Green Party, provide evidence that their approach, extant or emerging, at this point in time, is adequate to the scale of the existential crisis facing humanity. This could change, and it should be a focus of the small degrowth movement in these islands "

Amazon degradation increases by 163% in two years, while deforestation falls by 54% in the same period
The accelerated degradation of the Brazilian Amazon, primarily due to fires, has overshadowed the significant reduction in deforestation from 2022 to 2024.

Degradation-Aware All-in-One Image Restoration via Latent Prior Encoding
Real-world images often suffer from spatially diverse degradations such as haze, rain, snow, and low-light, significantly impacting visual quality and downstream vision tasks. Existing all-in-one restoration (AIR) approaches either depend on external text prompts or embed hand-crafted architectural priors (e.g., frequency heuristics); both impose discrete, brittle assumptions that weaken generalization to unseen or mixed degradations. To address this limitation, we propose to reframe AIR as lea…

As the ecological situation worsens, we don’t have the luxury of snubbing potential solutions. Let’s not be the ones who died of an illness because the name of the remedy sounded silly.
