Not going to lie, pretty wicked to see the influence #RetrofitReimagined has had ❤️

@ACORNunion Do you have the originals source of this important graphic?

Two extraordinary statistics from @LondonCouncils today:

- One in every 21 children in London now lives in temporary accommodation.
- London authorities spend £4 million on temporary accommodation every single day.

this is an important piece of work @jryancollins @indy_johar @Victoria_Spratt

Last year I was commissioned by the UK ministry of housing to write a report on the demand side-drivers of the housing affordability crisis.
After some election-related delays, here it is. (1/13)

Temporary accommodation costs are absolutely out of control

Electrification is not enough for decarbonisation and the latest work by IEA show this.... demand is increasing almost as fast as renewables can be deployed. Hence why many major AI companies investing in small nuclear @CleanPowerDave @chrisbrown @JackMinchella @indy_johar

[Dave Jones @CleanPowerDave]

CO2 emissions are now shown to fall only 3% from 2022 to 2030. Last year they showed a 5% fall.

Net Zero pathway shows they need to fall by 33%🤯

In the 12 months since the world promised to "transition away from fossil fuels" it doesn't look like we are any closer🤷‍♂️

What is happening in Afghanistan can be compared with some of the most egregious systems of oppression in recent history.

I join all countries & organizations demanding that the de facto authorities remove all discriminatory restrictions against women & girls immediately.

Biodiversiy is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (https://t.co/gNIbWRdqEj), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.

Momentous: The UK, home to the world’s first coal power station in 1882, will stop using coal to generate electricity this month, the 1st G7 country to do so

Coal supplied 80% of UK electricity in 1990. Remember: they said it couldn't be done

D Tel (£) Angela Rayner “is considering abolishing Right to Buy for newly built council houses...” Good. Removal of the threat should encourage private capital to invest in homes rented via councils without the danger of tenants buying them. https://t.co/N6QtokoxvK

“The thing I will be nervous about PFI is if you just use it to get things off balance sheet... And that's crazy right? Because the one thing governments can do better than the private sector, unambiguously, is borrowing money.” Well said @Gus_ODonnell

A fundamental transformation of the world's energy system is underway. In the @IEA Net Zero scenario by 2050:

⚡️electricity more than doubles to more than 50% of final energy consumption

☀️solar and wind make up 40% of primary energy supply

📉final energy demand falls by 22% due to electrification and efficiency

Very sad news. Few rivalled Nicky’s passion for London. She was one of those who kept the fire burning for London-wide government in the post-GLC, pre-GLA wilderness years. A big loss.

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning:

"For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles."

Well worth your time: https://t.co/eHalcNkiBX

Love to everyone organising, keeping our communities safe, and particularly to those vulnerable, scared or isolated, as we witness violent scenes of hatred + fascism spread across the UK, amidst ongoing genocides against our kin across the globe.

What we have is each other ✊🏽.

[Claire Holland @clairekholland]

No place for hate in our city. @LondonLabour council leaders united in supporting our communities

[Daniel Hill @daniel_f_hill]

We need to operate from a mindset of abundance - and hope. @ImmyKaur @zerocarbonhouse @DarkMatter_Labs @CIVIC_SQUARE
