“Well Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming?”

[Climate Centre @ClimateCentreUK]

Protecting households from the surging price of natural gas cost £78 billion of taxpayers' money when you were Energy Secretary...

@ret_ward tells @Jacob_Rees_Mogg following a report claiming Labour's plans to decarbonise the grid will cost £116 billion.

Belfast still has only 2 miles of segregated cycle lanes, according to new Sustrans report - Belfast Live. Massively disappointing figures indicating the utter failure of ⁦@deptinfra⁩ to support active travel. https://t.co/TGwzNFqeIk

This terrifying FT chart paints my lifetime in the inexorably rising colours of global warming

Eyeballing, it looks like, what, 0.75C of warming since the 1980s?

And just look at the way the coolest months in the 2020s are mostly hotter than the hottest of the 1980s!

[Grantham LSE @GRI_LSE]

Following the tragic death of two LSE colleagues last year, staff and students at @GRI_LSE have teamed up with other London universities to send a letter to London's Mayoral candidates.
Staff members or students at London unis can sign the letter here 👇🏾

We must stop cycling deaths in London. If your’re a member of staff or a student at one of London’s universities, please sign this letter and make this a big issue for the #London mayoral campaign. Thanks

Quite staggeringly confused debates about fiscal rules and the @OBR_UK "boxing the Chancellor in" over the last few days. A few clarifications as the Budget looms 🧵

[Amy Nguyen @Sustainablensoc]

Pleased to share my latest article on @Forbes detailing the important launch of the @jtf_lab @GRI_LSE which will advance the #justtransition through research, advocacy, stakeholder engagement & solution design: https://t.co/ntWm8IeK41 #netzero #energytransition #socialjustice

I thought this must surely be a typo, but no, the French really do charge €60,000 tax on cars emitting more than 194 g CO₂/km. Incroyable. And there's more... 1/n

To all those celebrating George Galloway “sticking it to the establishment”, a little reminder of which supposedly ant-establishment side he’s on:

New Case Study⬇️

UK energy utility @SSE was one of the first to implement a just transition strategy as part of its net zero plan.

The experience provides important lessons on business strategy, market frameworks, metrics and stakeholder dialogue.
