Very happy have the 2nd study from my PhD picked up by the Guardian. Thanks @dpcarrington

We find that "walking the talk" from politicians, celebs and CEOs is a missing link in climate change action.

And people *really* want to see it!

Super-happy to share the first paper from my PhD, published in ERSS🧵

We explore how UK politicians view their responsibility to lead by example with low-carbon behaviour (or not)

TLDR: some MPs lead by example on the quiet, but fear being "extreme"

Yet Conservatives at Suffolk County Council still have a policy that makes getting area wide 20mph limits almost impossible.

[Robert Lindsay 🍃💚🍃 @robjlinds]

£50 on average off your car insurance premium if you live in a 20mph area. Why? Fewer accidents claims. https://t.co/GG0KAADkXN

22nd: Hengrave. A round towered church with an unusual history. After the Reformation it became a private mausoleum for the Catholic Kytson family of the Hall. 1/3

We take an ‘issues-based’ approach – we gather information from various sources and then decide how best to act to protect and improve the environment. How can we do this most effectively? Have your say on our revised strategy and enforcement policy: https://t.co/u6YAaENZAN

"If biodiversity targets are to be met, the condition of the protected areas, as well as their size and number, is also important. Simply achieving the '30 by 30' target, without ensuring that the areas are managed well, is unlikely to be sufficient to restore biodiversity."
