The Centre for Industrial Energy, Materials and Products has now completed its research programme. Please visit our website https://t.co/N1I9eIbQKB to read about our research and recommendations to reduce industrial energy use.
Sir David Attenborough speaking to us this morning on #netzero and #climatechange, 'We are changing the climate in a way that is irreversible…if we carry on as we are...'
In a country as politically split as the UK, climate action on #netzero is a unifier: the prime minister, the contenders to be her successor, opposition parties and the UK’s devolved nations all agree that we must end our contribution to climate change.
Addressing global sustainability challenges associated with natural resource security and climate change requires new perspective on waste and resource management...read the new paper from @christinecole_ and team here: https://t.co/90gKZ0ydB2
Brilliant to see @circleeconomy launch their #circulareconomy report at @Davos. Much of what it recommends chimes with our @CIEMAP report 'Less in, more out', including substituting low carbon building materials for high carbon materials. Full report here: https://t.co/c67qrBzhhi
#RightToRepair hit the news yesterday and examples flooded in of appliances breaking far earlier than they should. Our report with @CIEMAP shows this feeling of shared frustration is fact: nearly two thirds of people are frustrated by products that don’t last. 1/8
Great to see this kind of analysis @GreenAllianceUK and @CIEMAP.
These stats should help businesses' internal sustainability teams argue the case for change.
Today, as Member States votes on the repair of electronics, it is worth remembering that having recyclable and repairable products is what the public overwhelmingly want. Our @CIEMAP report shows this is the case: https://t.co/2Kp5g1z8aG

Previously we estimated a shift in UK emissions from power to manufacturing & transport (hard to decarbonize) sectors. Now we show how targeted support for management of supply chain emissions and resource use in manufacturing sectors could reduce industrial emissions...
The overwhelming majority - 75% in the UK - believe the government should be responsible for ensuring that businesses produce repairable and recyclable products. @GreenAllianceUK@CIEMAP data:
Not only do our two @CIEMAP reports demonstrate that #resourceefficiency is a major new tool for #climate policy, but measures offering the biggest carbon savings, and over which the Gov has most control, are most popular with the public.

New report from @theCCCuk calls for "a new mechanism...to incentivise and drive whole-life carbon savings for new buildings" & "policies to support a substantial increase in the use of wood in construction". See https://t.co/ilyABkoMR0 for full details & summary thread below.
