The NFU ask to pause the BPS phase out is self defeating

It’ll mean that the launch of an expanded SFI in the summer is derailed, just as farmers are getting behind it

Better would be to lobby for a declaration under s.20 of the Agriculture Act

But what, you ask, is this…🧵

🌱We’re excited to be a partner in A-Track, a new project that is bringing together leading experts and practitioners to accelerate action for nature.

UK businesses want a consistent net zero policy – not a laissez-faire approach https://t.co/bQgj2s3aOE

Leading UK businesses respond to the Energy Security Secretary's assessment of what UK businesses need with 'thanks, but it's not that, actually'.

[Tom Lancaster @tommlancaster]

Headline writers at the @thetimes seem determined to pin all the country’s food supply problems on green farming schemes. The problem for them is that it just doesn’t stack up

A quick thread on why...🧵

🚨.@theCCCuk's assessment of the Government's Third National Adaptation Programme is that it falls far short of what is required.
There is currently a window to build more effective climate #resilience in the UK.

I've written for @FarmersGuardian on the current pressures facing farmers and how government and retailers can better support them.
"Farmers can't be expected to tackle the climate and nature crisis on their own"

🚜Unsustainable agriculture is a main driver of nature loss and we urgently need to address it.

Today we're releasing our report with @ASDA and four of their suppliers to understand how they can address nature within their businesses.

50 business leaders wrote to @hmtreasury Chancellor urging him to use the #AutumnStatement to provide a coherent and proportionate intervention in the race to #netzero. But it's hard to see it as anything other than "another missed opportunity" argues #CLGUK Director @bevcornaby.

[Corporate Leaders Groups @ClimateCLG]

A missed opportunity for government to show the climate leadership business is calling for.
🗣️The government should be developing "actions to support the green industries that will underpin the economy of the 21st century." #CLGUK Director @bevcornaby reacts to the #KingsSpeech.

[Tony Juniper @TonyJuniper]

Several reports today dismiss greenbelt as ‘scrubland’, the implication being that development on such land is better than what’s there now. Truth is that expanding scrub is one of the quickest ways we can make progress for Nature recovery. Quite worrying

Over 4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ businesses and NGOs including @UKSIF, @Nestle, @IKEA, @AvivaUK and @eonenergyuk have written to @RishiSunak to call for #CredibleClimateLeadership and express concern at plans to water down the UK's #NetZero policies.

[Corporate Leaders Groups @ClimateCLG]

📢 Following recent concerns that PM @RishiSunak @10DowningStreet intends to weaken UK’s climate policies, CLG UK and many of our members joined a range of businesses to demonstrate the broad commitment to the UK’s #netzero goal and support for policies needed to deliver this.

Am yet to read an intervention from any of the Very Serious People arguing against net zero that couldn’t be replaced with the line: ‘I don’t think climate change is going to have much of an impact on anything, actually.’ Mervyn King is a case in point. https://t.co/Wtadtd2STa
