Massive thank you to Ulster Farmers' Union for hosting Climate Change Committee on William Irvine’s first day in office as President. We learned so much from William, John, Aileen and James. The tour of Hilary and Roger Bell’s wonderful sheep and beef farm was the icing on the cake 🙏
Thanks to Minister Andrew Muir MLA and DAERA for making Climate Change Committee so welcome and the useful open discussions on climate impacts and action in NI

This week, Dr James Richardson took over as the acting Dr James Richardson.
James has been the Climate Change Committee Chief Analyst for almost a year, and in that time has done a fantastic job. The Committee and I are very grateful to him and look forward to continuing to work closely together.
Excited to be working with such great partners to help restore nature across Yorkshire & Cumbria Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Woodland Trust🌳 Forestry England National Trust WWF UK UBoC Natural England Restoring Hardknott Forest
Working with Chris has been a lot of fun. Producing authoritative reports and having an impact right up until the end. Enjoy The Carbon Trust 🙏
Having struggled myself with figuring out how to assess the resilience of long-term low-carbon transformations, I'm glad to see stephane hallegatte's team at the World Bank came up with a project rating system.
Still need to read it myself, but my interest is piqued. 👇🧐🌍🌪🌡
Important end of term interview by our outgoing Dr James Richardson. UK will benefit from investing in and delivering on a well-planned NetZero transition. Now is not the time for mixed messages. Chris’ messages have always been clear. 🙏 www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc.co…
We'll discuss these proposals with Dr James Richardson and Scotland Champion Prof Keith Bell at next week's meeting, when they join us to give evidence on Climate Change Committee's 2023 Progress Report.
