🚨Europe needs a #RenovationRevolution. Buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. Launching today, Renovation Revolution will explore how we can drive up deep renovation rates across Europe: https://t.co/U4S6Sx4fM8
EU national governments just agreed next year's 🇪🇺election dates: 6th to 9th June.
Europeans will elect new direct representatives in the 🇪🇺Parliament for the 2024-2029 term.
Also, a new Commission President will be selected. How? We don't know yet. https://t.co/paH860ERuu
Thank you @Toby__Morgan for sharing! I will tell more about my experience with a #Tedx talk. It was incredibly amazing and terrifying at the same time!
We’ve delved into a few of the unique and distinguishing features of the @WelshGovernment's Wellbeing of Future Generations Act.
Aligned with the UN #SDGs, it puts people front and centre of climate action.

On clean energy, a Labour government will:
🌊Make Britain a clean energy superpower by 2030
🇬🇧Set up GB Energy, a publicly-owned energy company
🏗️Create a National Wealth Fund to secure good jobs
👷Insulate 19m cold homes over a decade
That is real energy and climate leadership
On 5th of March I'll give a #TEDx talk at @KingsCollegeLon and what could I possibly talk about? How much I love my job of course! And how growing the climate workforce can be one of the best tools we have to fix our #climatecrisis
Regional and publicly owned #RenewableEnergy firms are popping up in Europe. Could this be a solution to make clean electricity the new normal? Read more on @ClimateGroup and hear from #Under2coalition Catalonia and Wales https://t.co/UXbM5uLpp3
COP27. Ministri ambiente europei negoziano passaggi cruciali per il futuro.
Spagna, Austria, Svezia: adattamento
Irlanda: loss&damage
Germania e Belgio: mitigazione
Finlandia: testo finale
Olanda: finanza
Italia: assente da ogni tavolo, ministro volato via martedì e ciao.
I see people saying on Twitter that solar & wind are a bad idea because of their environmental impacts.
"Compared to what?" we often ask @RegAssistProj
Recent meta-review led by @BenjaminSovaco1 shows fossil electricity has much bigger environmental impacts than renewables. 🧵
Switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy could save the world as much as $12tn by 2050, an Oxford University study says.
The report said it was wrong and pessimistic to claim that moving quickly towards cleaner energy sources was expensive.

@AvvocatoAtomico @Mezzorainpiu @AngeloBonelli1 Ma 240 mld in quanti anni? Ti sembra tanto quando ne spendiamo 43 l’anno in energy imports? Ma dai, questo odio verso le rinnovabili per sostenere il nucleare fa ridere i polli. E non funziona.
Questa cosa va risolta il prima possibile. Non è solo per una questione di giustizia. E' che proprio, come Paese, non ce lo possiamo più permettere -- in compenso se hai il bisnonno italiano, ma non parli italiano e non hai mai messo piede in Italia, diventi italiano🧠
Oil and gas companies say they’re going green. Yesterday I looked through some of their accounts to see if it’s true.
In the first half of this year, 4 companies made £74.4bn and reinvested £3.4bn in low carbon energy. On average, that’s equivalent to 5% of their profits.
