The Parish Council has an alternative proposal that makes far more sense, should cost less, and would be far better for the local community. It's even in the very same field! I'll be demanding to know from Thames Water next week why they refuse to listen to common sense

Last week we hosted an event exploring the state of play in climate finance and the food systems sector, as well as how countries most heavily impacted by the climate crisis can be supported.

📢 🇦🇪 A significant step: countries at #COP28 have agreed to transition away from fossil fuels.

'The final text signals governments are finally open to dealing with the elephant in the room.' -Andrew Deutz nature.ly/3NMQJu7

Mary Robinson, Chair of The Elders, reacts to the final COP28 agreement:

“The COP28 agreement, while signalling the need to bring about the end of the fossil fuel era, falls short by failing to commit to a full fossil fuel phase out.

#COP28 congratulations to Nepal for joining climate and development ministerial coalition of ambition on adaptation finance. It’s a remarkable journey ahead to work with coalition to ease access to adaptation finance IIEDmedia Adaptation Fund PMO Nepal UK in Nepal 🇬🇧🇳🇵 E3G - Third Generation Environmentalism

Two quotes by two scientists have caused a bit of confusion. 👇

I am one of them.
So let me explain what I'm referring to here. (1) Karl Mathiesen

Fantastic #COP28 event today in the COP28 Resilience Hub - bringing much needed attention to #climate #adaptation through the new call-to-action by philanthropies.

Inspiring to see philanthropies committing to stronger action, dialogue and learning on adaptation. Some highlights 🧵👇🏻

“The #stocktake must clearly articulate how & why countries are falling short on reaching their goals & make robust recommendations to drive an urgent increase in emissions reduction commitments, adaptation efforts, support to address occurring #LossAndDamage , & climate finance.”

Great 🧵by Joe Thwaites summarising major trends in climate finance report that has just been released. Drop in adaptation finance is a huge concern. What will COP28 UAE do to shore up ambition?

Very concerning that donors don’t report on climate finance to #LDCs and #SIDS . Needs to set out ada finance to these groups particularly.

ICYMI: Sustainable use is a core pillar of the global #biodiversity framework. But how to determine if #wildlife use is really sustainable? We have developed a '5D' framework which seeks to make a complex issue accessible to practitioners. --> ow.ly/iV7050Q6sp3

Clarkson's 'we know already' is so revealing here. No attempt to dismiss or deny, just a desperate sounding plea to let us stick our heads in the sand. It is a refusal to look at the world as it is. It is, ultimately, a form of cowardice.

Was leaving EU worth it guys? 20+ min Q at every EU airport gets me every time.
