Last November we hosted a roundtable with the Sustainable Nitrogen Alliance about nitrogen pollution, what it was, and what we could do to move towards a more circular system with less waste.
Today the @HLEnviroClimate Committee have published their report on the topic
📖👇

[Vicki Hird MSc FRES 🐝🦋 🍃💚🍃 @vickihird]

Good @UKHouseofLords cross-party Environment and Climate Change Committee's wide-ranging report on nitrogen pollution , "Nitrogen: time to reduce, recycle, reuse' is calling on the Government to produce a holistic nitrogen strategy within the next 2 years

This timely report confirms what @wwf_uk have long been warning: we can't tackle climate change & #biodiversity loss without holistic nitrogen management. Failure to integrate action across farming, food, nature & climate has had devastating impacts on our health and environment.

[Tom @TomStuartEnviro]

Excellent report that sets out clearly the problems and policy solutions.

Need a national nitrogen strategy based on a nitrogen balance sheet

📢We've published our report Nitrogen: time to reduce, recycle, reuse
Key recommendations:
👉Simplify the regulatory system and toughen enforcement
👉A circular approach to nitrogen management
👉A more strategic approach to nitrogen

The Amazon Soy Moratorium has been successful but faces challenges. As Brazil prepares for COP30 with a focus on ending deforestation, businesses, governments, and civil society must step up to protect the Amazon from passing calamitous tipping points. https://t.co/WcByOz6xjj

We have some new analysis out today on *the* biggest problem facing English nature conservation…

…& increasingly climate goals…

…& farm incomes…

It’s the befuddling failure of @DefraGovUK to stand up a higher tier land management scheme

Thanks to the Sustainable Nitrogen Alliance for joining us in Parliament to discuss the issue of nitrogen pollution, which impacts several of the drivers and causes of both climate change and biodiversity loss, from agricultural and water pollution to air quality and GHG levels.

If you're in Wales and want the Government to support farmers to cut river pollution, please sign our petition:

Really useful to have such a detailed and up to date analysis of issues around nitrous oxide

[WWF Politics 🌍 @WWF_UK_Politics]

Great to see the Global Nitrous Oxide Assessment launch at #COP29, with contribution from #SustainableNitrogenAlliance's scientific adviser @KevinHicks_SEI. Reducing N2O emissions via sustainable nitrogen management is vital to meet climate commitments & reduce ozone depletion.

[Impact on Urban Health @ImpUrbanHealth]

Incredible interview with @EllaRobertaFdn by @KayBurley:

“Air pollution is linked to everything: cancer, heart disease, dementia, miscarriages […] We need to do something.”

“Children breathe toxic air every day. And we wonder why the NHS is broken. I’m so angry.”

Sometimes migration can be as small as a warbler and other times it can be epic!

Enjoy the nature moments

@WWFespana @esa @JJCarmona_WWF @LaVanguardia Possibly the worst drought in history in Doñana - perhaps the most important wildlife site in western Europe. Think about where your strawberries come from.

Nice to wrap up #LDConf fringe events with such an interesting session, involving @timfarron & organised by @RiverActionUK @UKSustain and #SustainableNitrogenAlliance on farmers' role in restoring rivers &

[WWF Politics 🌍 @WWF_UK_Politics]

Our very own Tom Stuart representing the #SustainableNitrogenAlliance at #ldconf today with @timfarron @riveractionuk, talking about the problems caused by nitrogen pollution and the need to measure it to make sure the UK can meet our international targets.

Essentially the WWF Espania article is denouncing the greenwashing of the environmentally and socially damaging proliferation of large industrial pig units by saying that biogas from AD plants contributes to renewable energy. [Life cycle analysis missing?]

[Tom @TomStuartEnviro]

Some interesting parallel with proposals for large scale pig and poultry units here in the UK. Un...#SustainableFarming

[WWF España 🐼 @WWFespana]

Nos oponemos a las plantas de biogás del entorno de las Hoces de Riaza.  

Antes de llenar las zonas rurales de plantas de biogás, es necesario un debate sobre el modelo de granjas industriales de porcino y una planificación estratégica del sector
