Why is the Aarhus convention important?

It guarantees the public three fundamental rights:

- to know (access to environmental information),

- to participate (a voice in decision-making),

- to challenge (the ability to hold government to account in court).

[Wensum Woodlanders 🍃💚🍃🌳🦇🌳 @WWoodlanders]

Deregulation in planning and a withdrawal from Aarhus to block judicial reviews will lead to devastated habitats and decreased biodiversity. It will make it easier for the road zealots to build a road through places like our woods. They were stopped through tough regulations!

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

BREAKING: In a major blow to Donald Trump, the House voted 215-208 to pass a resolution to block President Donald Trump from ordering further strikes on Iran.

All Democrats present voted yes, along with Republican Reps. Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Tom Barrett.

Until you have looked at the Development Consent Order for 400kv pylons construction you have no idea of the carnage. This is the village where I grew up. Not only will it be ruined, views wise, and lose loads of trees, but they are incredibly close to the village and 50m high. The church is 30m. Look at the construction swathe and weep.

We do have a crowdfunder (the campaign spans 180km and three counties) and we are at the Examination in public of the DCO phase so need lawyers and other experts:

Today contractors from National Grid turned up at this farm ready to clear all of this vegetation, including the four oaks, without the required dawn bird survey.

It is only because the land owner was on his toes and challenged them that they left.

Plus National Grid has not explained why it is ‘not practicable’ to uphold their DCO obligation to avoid nesting season.

They were not even able to explain why the oaks need to be felled for a bell mouth when they do not cause visibility issues.

This is a horrific disregard for nature.

(This is Bramford to Twinstead, ‘only’ 30km long. Imagine the destruction if Norwich to Tilbury at 180km goes ahead as proposed. We seek underground HVDC laid by cable ploughs for N2T)

✅ UN has just voted to endorse the ICJ Advisory on climate change https://t.co/5vamU1eppJ in "historic" resolution & "turning point in accountability"

Accountability starts with climate targets - "highest possible ambition"?

Good grief, this horrendous: a large warehousing scheme which would uproot more than 10,000 trees is set to get approval. The three new warehouses in Carrington, Trafford, would destroy habitats for birds, bats, hedgehogs and amphibians.

❓ Why does this matter

Strong carbon budgets 👉
🏠 Warmer homes, lower bills
💼 Green jobs in every constituency
🚌 Investment in public transport
🌿 Protection for nature and food security
Get it right — everyone benefits.

🧑‍🔬 This budget must reflect international law and science — right now it doesn't

🤔 Most people don't know that. We think it matters

1️⃣ International Court gave unanimous advice that states must have "highest possible ambition" in tackling climate change

2️⃣ Is that really the case for UK? ❌#CarbonReckoning think not

The budget fails two legal tests required by UK law. A thread. 🧵

INCREDIBLE!

Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post.

Congrats!!

This needs more attention. If Taylor Wimpey think it’s acceptable to fell trees during nesting season we need to make sure no one buys their poor quality overpriced homes. Tell your friends and family to avoid these ecocidal developers.

Why are no news outlets reporting on the fact that this government is removing the very protections keeping these species from extinction? That should be mentioned in every headline!! Remember this when you vote in May. A major loss for Labour is the only way to save nature

#Conservatives in Norfolk, Shropshire & Herefordshire are so obsessed with their highly destructive & expensive road schemes, regardless of the cost to local residents & our already depleted nature 😔

It's disappointing to see a Labour Government pouring more good money (£1m for an options appraisal) after bad.

[Wensum Woodlanders 🍃💚🍃🌳🦇🌳 @WWoodlanders]

Talk about flogging a dead horse! Norfolk C Council threw £50m down the drain pursuing a project that was doomed from the outset. Now they seem doomed to repeat their mistakes. https://t.co/S4TUZybCya
