It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Emeritus Professor Nigel Bell.

A founding figure of the MSc Environmental Technology and CEP, Nigel was an inspiring educator, researcher, and mentor. He will be greatly missed.

💡Ed Miliband reaffirms the UK's pledge to cut household energy bills by up to £300 by 2030. Clean power like solar and wind is key, he says

@iain_staffell highlights that renewables will eventually reduce bills, but short-term savings aren't guaranteed

🌍Last month was the hottest January on record, despite the cooling influence of La Niña

"The reason we've broken another record is the continued burning of fossil fuels," says @FrediOtto

Scientists warn we’ve already reached dangerous levels of warming

🐍 Happy Chinese New Year!

As we welcome the #YearOfTheSnake, we reflect on its role in nature, culture & conservation.

Snakes symbolise balance, renewal & resilience—values we uphold in environmental policy.

⚡Is #hydrogen still the fuel of the future?

@imperialcollege experts say its role is shifting to industrial decarbonisation, transport, and renewable energy balance. However, scaling up and reducing costs are key challenges.

The UK’s plan to reduce emissions by 81% by 2035 & triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 has been called “bold” by the UN, but @RobinLamboll says it’s not “particularly inspiring.”

@JoeriRogelj highlights the need for policies to match the ambition.

The end of the dry season is getting later, arriving on average 23 days later than it would have done without global warming.

🔥 Climate change made the devastating LA wildfires 35% more likely, new research by @WWAttribution & CEP researchers confirms

Hot, dry conditions are pushing wildfire risk higher, with longer fire seasons and drier winters fuelling the flames

Ed Miliband is right: UK electricity bills are too high. ⚡️

We pay nearly 26p/kWh, while the US and Sweden pay much less.

Dr @iain_staffell says the system is flawed, with gas still setting prices. The solution? Green transition & market reform. 🌍

"We really need to bring emissions down in the short term because these feedback loops make it harder in the long term to stay below the [1.5°C] target"

@RobinLamboll on record-high CO₂ emissions and the urgency for action, via @itvnews (🎥2:03 onwards)
