In the last few years, wildfires have ravaged our nearby commons in Surrey. Here’s an AI visualisation of what Woking town centre could look like if fires encroached on much of Horsell Common.

The approaching #StormÉowyn is genuinely the most impressive-looking non-tropical cyclone I can clearly recall watching on satellite imagery.

Just look at that vast hook of deep cloud cover around a rapidly rotating 'eye'. Non-tropical cyclogenesis in peak form.

Super week of activity in #Newham to celebrate the one year anniversary of the borough’s Just Transition plan @JacobHeitland @NewhamLondon

[Nick Gardner @cannyfrog]

Beaver moon!

[Nick Gardner @cannyfrog]

This event came about through 2 projects we're funding thru #SustainableSteps Wales collaborating. The team are using "incidental climate conversation" techniques, which also sounds relevant for the latest round of @TNLComFund Climate Action Fund: https://t.co/NQ4xzddtNB

[Nick Gardner @cannyfrog]

Event next Wed at @DTEProject in S. Wales: "Talk about #ClimateChange has become polarised. We need to be collaborative in our response to the crisis, whilst recognising that different people are facing different priorities in our daily lives" https://t.co/kfX8ZDRNk7 Camau Gwyrdd

[Transition Together @TransitionTog]

Homes in Bewdley could be heated using water from the river. Transition Bewdley this week unveiled promising findings of a feasibility study for a river heat project. An energy centre would capture the heat in river water & pump it to nearby buildings. #ThisisTransition

[Nick Gardner @cannyfrog]

This is awesome! Fab support from @suezUK - great to see it all coming to life here in #Surrey! 😀

Really excited to see a couple of water voles in Dodham Brook in Yeovil last night (too quick for photos sadly!), and learn about this great Rewilding project funded by ⁦⁦@HeritageFundUK⁩ ⁦⁦@DrewBennellick⁩

Our 2023 Annual Impact Report is out! Our 3.5M network and global advocates drove major wins—from pushing for real change at COP 28 to standing up to big polluters. None of this would be possible without our Climate Reality Leaders and supporters. https://t.co/lkfEY3XaDN

[Nick Gardner @cannyfrog]

It's so inspiring meeting those who work on (and with) the projects we've funded through the Climate Action Fund in real life. Here's a blog from my visit to one such project in #Gateshead. Also details of how to apply for our next round: Our Shared Future https://t.co/boDTkOuwsa

Thought you'd be interested in reading this too @LucyGoBag. ("UNESCAP research shows that Disabled people are up to 4x more likely to be injured or die in climate disasters. The cause doesn’t lie with Disabled people, but prejudiced or inaccessible cities and emergency services)"

[Nick Gardner @cannyfrog]

Recommended short read! A thought-provoking piece from Bristol on disability & climate action: "Creating climate-friendly cities means they must be designed in a way that ensures all citizens can easily live environmentally-friendly lives, which means making them accessible."

[Amy Harrison (she/her) @littlegreenamy]

We recently launched the Climate and Disability strand of the @bcnpartnership #CommunityClimateAction project & are privileged to be collaborating with the brilliant Emma Geen on this important work - read Emma’s latest opion piece in @bristol247: https://t.co/nnTbTqp8P3
