Is there a pro-ULEZ campaign out there somewhere? #ULEZExpansion #ULEZ

10 months after permission to mine ran out, diggers are still extracting coal from the Ffos-y-Fran mine in South Wales. Daniel from Coal Action Network explains why it’s so important to them that this illegal mining is brought to a stop 🎥 goodlaw.social/Ffos-y-Fran_Pe…

This should be front page news. Everywhere.

Powerful article by The Guardian about the local struggle against Ffos-y-fran coal mine: “We’d always been environmentally conscious,” Chris says, “but we’d never done anything. Suddenly we had to become activists. Not by choice; it was a necessity.” ✊ theguardian.com/environment/20…

The UK Government has announced a new approach to reaching Net Zero. The CCC has issued its response.

Latest stats just released by the Coal Authority show that @MerthyrCBC & Welsh Government has allowed over half a MILLION TONNES of coal to be mined illegally from Ffos-y-fran opencast coal mine - resulting in over 1.6 million tonnes of CO2😵...we're fighting it each day✊

Our appeal to climate justice gets underway this morning in #Cardiff with vocal support outside the courts - great to have friends with us inside the courtroom too, from XRCYMRU Political Engagement, Friends of the Earth Cymru, & Plaid Werdd Cymru | Wales Green Party.

There are days when despair is hard to avoid, but we can all contribute to efforts to address the climate emergency in our own small ways. All too often people feel they can't make an impact, but you undoubtedly have a skill that is needed in the fight theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

We are recruiting for a paralegal to join our team. We take environmental cases for individuals, local groups, campaigns and charities, including frequently at the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. Please see the link if you are interested: richardbuxton.co.uk/about/join/

Very pleased that the Supreme Court this morning held that the downstream emissions of fossil fuel projects must be properly assessed when considering whether to grant permission. We represented Friends of the Earth

Today begins a 3-day court hearing over a large new coal mine in Cumbria. The Government has conceded that the grant of permission was unlawful but the mining company continues to defend the claim. We represent @slacctt ; Read SLACC's grounds of claim here lnkd.in/dzSrdguk

The Cumbria coal mine permission has been ruled unlawful by the High Court. The mine would have generated 220M tonnes CO2. We represented @slacctt succeeding on 3 of 4 grounds. richardbuxton.co.uk/case/challenge… Counsel were @estelledehon and Rowan Clapp Cornerstone Barristers

🚨CUMBRIA COAL MINE KLAXON: withdrawn! Today, Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov notified parties that the application has been withdrawn. We've been instructed by SLACC to oppose the mine since 2019 and it has been a long slog. Overjoyed that this will end new coal mining in UK richardbuxton.co.uk/case/oppositio…
