resolute /ˈrɛzəluːt/ adjective
admirably purposeful, determined, and unwavering
Welcome to Resolute Earth.
This is a space where I share thoughts, photographs and stories from a planet undergoing immeasurable change.
While we collectively strive to provide the solutions to the world’s largest problems, we can take comfort in stories about this planet of unimaginable scale and splendour - a world and a populace that is resilient, and resolute.
The Resolute Earth newsletter contains articles on a diverse range topics from all areas within the climate movement - including stories from activists from all corners of the planet, to developments in climate tech, to commentary and research about climate policy and governance.
I built Resolute Earth whilst working freelance, as I was working to organise It’s Time - A virtual festival of climate action with Ecologi. This project brought me into contact with hundreds of individuals from kids to CEOs from all across the climate movement, who humbled and inspired me to write down their stories.
It is my hope and belief that with collective action, we children of the 21st century will find that we were born at just the right time to change everything.
Telling the story of our planet.
Each article within this newsletter features a record of the mean global atmospheric carbon dioxide on the day that the article was published, according to NOAA.
In this way , with each Resolute Earth email that finds its way to your inbox, I aim to set a marker which - taken together with its digital siblings - tells a story which illustrates the urgency of climate change during the anthropocene.
About me.
My name is Sam, and I was born at 357 ppm.
I have been lucky enough to travel all my life, and I have always been fascinated by planet Earth, and our part within its history.
Graduating with my Master’s in International Relations with study abroad and a modern foreign language under my belt, I embarked on a career in adventure tourism, bringing sustainable travel to avid explorers.
Following the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, I went freelance whilst I searched for new opportunities - and as part of this, I built Resolute Earth.
Aside from running Resolute Earth, my current projects include working full-time with Ecologi and also advising and content editing for Tourism Declares.
I can be contacted at info@resolute.earth.
