Clean energy is 9x cheaper than gas.
@Ed_Miliband is right – it's the key to prosperity and energy security.
Reform and the Tories are still stuck in the past.
Labour is building the future Britain needs.

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

The clean energy transition is not just right for the climate, but a huge opportunity for energy security, economic growth and social justice.

Agree with this WEF article! Stories that highlight the benefits of environmental action in daily life are key. By focusing on cleaner air, vibrant green spaces, warmer homes, and affordable energy we can make net zero relatable and inspire action! 🌍💚

"It’s very expensive to flood cities so let’s not flood cities. Let’s create fantastic nature reserves that in themselves then generate a nature tourism economy that’s worth tens of millions a year."

Want to back cleaner, healthier rivers but not sure how? A simple, effective action is to chip in now and back the River Derwent Survival Plan.

Now this is rewilding ambition - species reintroduction into central London.... https://t.co/MdCAm7u9Kp

Global private finance for nature has surged elevenfold in four years, from $9.4 billion to over $102 billion, https://t.co/MNOPT3Zb46

Why have our National Parks failed nature? https://t.co/swfs6C3g7y

[Ben Carter @benclimbsstuff]

Green Finance example with regenerative farming allowing this arable farm to create carbon credits, selling these to the Mercedes F1 team. I'd happier knowing this is an overall net reduction in carbon but this is still really innovative practice.

If you are one of these developers struggling to source BNG, with projects in Derbyshire, then struggle no more. I can direct you to the best habitat banks, with units available now, offering the biggest impact for nature, to get your project underway.

Nature loss is 'key area missing' from new National Wealth Fund. Yes we need stable investment opportunities for infrastructure after years of chaos but without nature recovery and climate mitigation that stability is not going to last very long🔥 🌍 🌳 https://t.co/RhroQqmRW6

Reaction to the fight at Dovedale in Peak District National Park is disheartening. Crowds enjoying our public green spaces is definitely a positive thing. We need far more public accessible, nature rich spaces. Then there will be nothing to fight about!

Hard to imagine Trump, Biden, Vance and Harris having a good laugh after the election like Sunak, Starmer, Dowden and Rayner are.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

The Tories are furious about the state of Britain today.

Just wait until they find out who's been in power for the last 13 years.

Looks like delegates at #dps2023 agree that Derby City priority is more green and blue spaces. #wilderderby #urbanrewilding

Ready for an afternoon of community conversation about #rewildingallestree

[Jo Smith @JoSmithDWT]

*Exciting news* 📢 🎉

We have purchased the first of (what we hope will be!) a number of significant new sites for #rewilding in #Derbyshire to help connect and restore nature & communities.

#WildWhittington

Huge all thanks to our generous donors and funders!
💪🙏 🎉

Thoughts with @MattHancock and @KwasiKwarteng today. £10k doesn't get even close to buying a peerage. Have to prostrate themselves much further than this. https://t.co/e2brgYXceq

Not normally a cat pics person. However....

[Ben Carter @benclimbsstuff]

This is fantastic news for nature

[Jo Smith @JoSmithDWT]

Great decision ⁦@nationaltrust⁩! 👏👏

A huge swathe of moorland off the Snake Pass near Sheffield will no longer used for grouse shooting and will instead be restored ‘for the benefit of nature, climate and people,’. ⁦
