Climate action is about making a difference and creating hope. Here’s my daughter making waves and protecting our precious oceans! 💚

[Oceana UK @OceanaUK]

🎉 SUCCESS! 🎉 The court agrees the decision to grant new oil & gas licences in protected areas needs more scrutiny. We’ve been given permission to proceed our case! Next year we’ll be back in court to argue why the licences were granted unlawfully. Big Oil, we're coming for you.

We need a new vision for health! Starting with a healthy diet in our schools and hospitals https://t.co/NDF3TPYHP4

This another great piece of work by RCPCH emphasising the impact of air pollution on children and what every health professional, parent and citizen needs to know.

[RCPCH @RCPCHtweets]

Today we are launching a new position statement on air pollution. It highlights recent evidence on the child health impacts of indoor and outdoor air pollution, and includes specific policy recommendations for key govt departments.

Far too often and for far too long, the needs of our children and young people have been overlooked by national policymakers.

Today we publish our blueprint for transforming child health services in England. 🧵#RCPCHBlueprint

[Dr Helena Clements @DrHClements]

https://t.co/BovaZPxK8S there are over a million health care workers in the UK. We need to create hope and act for ourselves, for children and future children and the planet.

This is what we are marching. This future doctor needs clean air now and a future!

[Dr Helena Clements @DrHClements]

Time for health professionals to explain the impact of air pollution and climate change to the public.

[Dr Helena Clements @DrHClements]

This makes me sad. If all health professionals could stand beside their Colleges, RCN and GMC and talk about the climate and health crisis together it would have such power rather than the current division which plays into the hands of those who would prefer us to stay quiet.

BREAKING 🚨 Govt has announced 31 NEW oil & gas licences🤯

21 of those are INSIDE our marine protected areas 🤯🤯☠️

HOW is this protection? Rigs & exploration kill wildlife, destroy habitats & pollute our seas, they have NO place in ocean havens.

RT to stop this being buried

[Dr Helena Clements @DrHClements]

how are we going to explain this travesty to our children? More oil and gas exploration, more destruction of our precious marine environment, more climate change, more health impacts

[Doctors’ Association UK @TheDA_UK]

"Given the evidence on climate change and its health impacts, we strongly believe peaceful protest should not be viewed as condemnable professional misconduct – but as commendable public health advocacy."

So pleased to have healthy fruit and veg outside the hospital ⁦@SFHFT⁩ again! One step closer to healthy plant based diet for patients, staff and visitors.!

[Dr Helena Clements @DrHClements]

The climate crisis is a health crisis. Protecting our seas from oil and gas extraction and protecting our marine life is an essential part of addressing the threat to human health and our children’s future.

[National Children's Bureau @ncbtweets]

Soon there will be a general election and, as part of our newly launched campaign, children have something to say. #ChildrenAtTheTable
