I wonder what is being debated in parliament today 🤔

[Sarah Giles @SarahLGiles]

A very full @OxfordUnion for the #OFC25 livestock debate!

[Sarah Giles @SarahLGiles]

Lisbeth Henriksen on the Danish green landscape fund is fascinating. Really chimes with our @royalsociety Multifunctional Landscapes work. Be interesting to see how implementation goes #OFC25 https://t.co/tBCwontaGy

[Global Commission on Evidence @EvidenceComm]

.@WellcomeTrust and @UKRI_News just announced US$74M of new investments in evidence to help achieve the #SDGs. These funds will be used to bring together all the existing evidence on what works https://t.co/RYF9o0QeSf #SoTF

Funders are injecting tens of millions of dollars into an ambitious plan to solve the biggest problem in science advice: supplying evidence to governments. https://t.co/pkJ1KZWoDB

Yep

Things to do today:

[Sarah Giles @SarahLGiles]

Another VERY cool #SummerScience exhibition this year @royalsociety Come and visit - it is free for everyone and open until Sunday #SciComm #science #London https://t.co/yoPnYl3bPQ

[Science Council @Science_Council]

A glimpse into this morning's sessions from the @Science_Council "Perspectives on Successful Policy Work in Science" workshop hosted at the @RoySocChem.

Our speakers dive into crucial topics, allowing experts to share insights and discuss the future of #sciencepolicy

[Martin Lines @LinesMartin]

🚨This is really big news. New research from @GFI_green lays bare the economic impact of nature loss in the UK. With up to 12% of GDP on the line by 2030s, the stakes couldn't be higher. We need to take action now to protect our economy and our environment

As governments around the world meet to negotiate the #PlasticsTreaty at #INC4, this new report on legacy plastics looks at solutions to remove plastic pollution from aquatic environments like rivers, oceans and coastlines. Read the full summary report: https://t.co/OcG1bgVOmt

[The Royal Society @royalsociety]

Local community beach cleans could be more effective than high-tech removal technologies at clearing plastic pollution and reducing its harm to the environment and humans, according to a new Royal Society report released today. Read more: https://t.co/BEUjzS5GSl

[Sarah Giles @SarahLGiles]

Beach cleans are therefore currently one of the most effective ways to clean-up plastic from the environment - summarised nicely in this @thetimes article

[Sarah Giles @SarahLGiles]

Interventions are likely to be most effective when they target plastic pollution close to source and where plastic naturally accumulates such as in rivers or on the coastline
