Global temperatures in 2023 are extraordinary. The various different datasets available all agree on this. We are breaking records by shocking amounts. Graphic by micefearboggis

Good news! 🚨 International Energy Agency’s new #NetZeroRoadmap shows limiting global warming to 1.5 °C is still possible, thanks to record clean energy growth. But greater ambition & implementation and stronger international cooperation will be crucial to achieve this goal 👉 iea.li/net-zero-roadm…

BREAKING - #Rosebank oilfield just given go-ahead - the greatest act of environmental vandalism in my lifetime, causing emissions equal to 28 lowest income countries, busting #climate targets & doing nothing for energy security since vast majority is for export #climatecriminals

This is morally obscene. It won’t improve energy security or lower bills - but it will shatter our climate commitments & demolish global leadership. Govt is complicit in this climate crime - as is Labour unless they pledge to do all possible to revoke it.

Suella Braverman is wrong. Multiculturalism isn’t the problem. But we know what the problem is… #bbcqt

Quite a letter, this.

Striking, stark frontpage of the Guardian today... "Scientists stunned by planet's record Sept heat" "I'm still struggling to comprehend how a single year can jump so much compared to previous years"

A huge thank you to all who contributed to making the #TEAForum24 such a constructive and memorable event.🤝The TEA platform impact is due to the dedicated individuals, projects and programmes committed to improving #energyaccess. Watch the highlights: tinyurl.com/2x4mkf9d

Join the first webinar of our four-part series, as part of London Climate Action Week's #LCAW2024. We'll delve into 'Navigating the Net Zero transition for cities and regions'. Discover how local authorities and stakeholders can drive effective place-based local #NetZero action.

I am delighted to announce that Chris Stark will be our head Head of Mission Control for Clean Power by 2030. We are bringing together the brightest and best to deliver our national mission to cut bills and make Britain energy independent. Welcome Chris Stark to the team!

I have some news…

What a morning we’ve had so far at the British Library for #ETAF25 🌍 Did you miss the opening plenary? Catch up on all the action here ➡️ lnkd.in/eUK2Qg3S

Unthinkable 20 years ago when I started to work on energy: The world may finally be hitting peak coal, as wind, solar and hydro continue to grow and will overtake coal generation perhaps already in 2026. Graphic by Orennia

1/2 Today we’ve taken a monumental step towards ending the country's reliance on volatile fossil fuels and lowering bills for good, by delivering a record-breaking offshore wind renewables auction.

2/2 The price for offshore wind has been agreed at 40% lower than the cost of building and operating a new gas power plant. Read more: gov.uk/government/new…

Will AI and data centres be main drivers of future electricity demand? No. Biggest drivers will be electrification of industry, transport & buildings. When powered by clean electricity, the benefits are huge: vastly higher efficiency, dramatically lower emissions & cleaner air.
