The Climate Change Committee UK progress report is out: we are the first major economy to halve emissions. But we are not on track for our 2030 NDC. Only 5 of 22 indicators are on track.   We give 10 priority recommendations. This is an opportunity for the UK to reset. theccc.org.uk/publication/pr…

Our Climate Change Committee Progress Report is out today. It sets out 10 priority recommendations to expand #climate action across the economy, including ramping up tree planting. It shows low-carbon technologies (EVs/heat pumps) must become the norm.  Read more: theccc.org.uk/publication/pr…

Unprecedented wildfires in Canada & parts of Amazonia last year were at least 3 times more likely due to climate change, according to a new annual review co-led by UEA's Matt Jones 🔥🌎 #wildfires #stateofwildfires UEA Research Fiona Harvey theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Today, in Science Magazine, we report that global CO2 #emissions from #forest fires have increased by 60%since 2001. Forest #fires have also shifted north and become more severe. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🌍🔥 (1/11)

1/7 The region of most concern for carbon-climate feedbacks in a warmer world is the permafrost region. We don't even know well its current GHG balance. As part of the GlobalCarbonProject RECCAP2, Gustaf Hugelius led the development of the most comprehensive GHG Budget to date.

Have you seen “regenerative” on food labels lately? Jess Chapman & Prof Brian Reid explain what it means in The Conversation: buff.ly/3Cmm0kR. We'll explore how Regenerative Agriculture affects soil carbon + health in our OpenLAND project: tyndall.ac.uk/projects/openl… LUNZ Hub

A bit like falling through Alice’s looking glass this morning - a fantasy world where, according to Labour minister on #BBCR4Today, expanding airport capacity somehow won’t increase carbon emissions. Biz aviation is declining - why trash climate simply to enable frequent flyers?

I’m thrilled that from 2027 all new homes in England will be built with solar panels—a big green win! I’ve been raising this in Parliament time and again since I was elected—it’s fantastic to see that work paying off for families and the planet. theguardian.com/environment/20…
