In the last week of October, we ran our second „Home Energy Skills Training“ Course - funded and hosted by Euston Skills Centre. Camden residents were the principal target group and the trainers were Tanuja from @PUNL and @Nadia who is an independent consultant for Sustainrey.

'For teachers, clerical workers, sales reps and the great bulk of US employees, whether white or blue collar, wages have flatlined – not for four or even 20 years – but for most of the past half century.' Essential reading from Aditya Chakrabortty theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Zero emission freight can only be achieved in cities by switching diesel to electric vans and also e-cargo bikes, which could replace up to 9% of van kilometres driven in central London by 2025 and up to 17% of van kilometres by 2030. Great to spot First Mile playing their part!

With Imperial College London, we've created a course so people can learn about the health effects of air pollution. You'll learn about why air pollution is a social justice issue, about sources of air pollution, and most equitable ways to improve air quality: imperial.ac.uk/school-public-…

The rollout of universal primary FSM in London gave a unique chance to understand the impact of extended provision, and the experiences of children, families, and schools. Delighted our independent report has found positive impacts on health, finances, and school communities.

The EU has just published major new air quality standards aligned with World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Amazing to see this ambition and it means low / zero-emission transport will be more necessary than ever in polluted European cities. Big Q, will the UK align? 👀 ➡️eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2024/2…

We frequently overlook the #airpollution problems caused by wood burning in rural villages, and the #climate harm too. To plug this gap, a team of scientists moved into a Slovenian village for winter. Here's what they found. My latest for The Guardian theguardian.com/environment/20…
