Almost as soon as we posted a story about Angus Rose being on hunger strike to demand MPs be briefed on climate change by @uksciencechief he was eating again - which is great news and victory to him! https://t.co/OoH8SqhG32

It’s welcome that an agreement has been reached at COP26. But we’ve seen too many promises for tomorrow, not the action that’s needed today. Boris Johnson bears some responsibility for that.

We must use the final year of the UK’s presidency to rescue what COP26 hasn’t achieved.

Great news this - delivery on the ground not a vague ambition

[Climate Change Committee @theCCCuk]

A step forward in tackling surface transport emissions - https://t.co/ljtZIq2rox - This broadly aligns with the CCC’s recommendation that sales of new diesel HGVs should end by 2040, helping drive forward development & innovation in zero-emission technologies. #COP26

Great news this and follows our own recommendations

“The fact that we are...still subsidizing fossil fuels directly or indirectly using taxpayer money is a disgrace.” @GretaThunberg.

She’s right. It’s time to #EndFossilFuelSubsidies.

Congress needs to get the job done.

Just published, our independent assessment of the UK's new Net Zero strategy.

Overall, we see this as a big step forward. It’s ambitious and broad in scope, with credible mechanisms to drive delivery and scale up private investment.

#ClimateChange is about consumption of the richest people in our global society.

50% of global life style emissions are emitted by richest 10% of the population

90% of global emissions by richest 50% of the population

Poorest 3.9 billion emit just 10%

Next step is for Govt to consider these important recommendations, and it has promised a White Paper responding to the proposals in six months. We’ll be keeping a close eye on developments.

[Ewa Kmietowicz @ewa_kim]

Great to see #NationalFoodStrategy report out today. A bold step towards using land to deliver healthier eating and tackling environmental damage that @theCCCuk has been calling for. Now we need gov to act. ↓thread.

[Ewa Kmietowicz @ewa_kim]

Also good to see #NationalFoodStrategy recommending legislation to deliver healthy and sustainable food, with key role for @theCCCuk in supporting @foodgov (FSA). Would be major step forward in delivering important food and land goals.

in a world without fossil fuels, the us/canada heat wave would have been "virtually impossible", according to a rapid attribution study that finds the extreme heat was made 150 times more likely because of climate change https://t.co/dbIqzWk0Zw

Glad to see you’re still on the same page as us Jack. We’ve been saying this for years. SUVs now 27%ish market share. Ouch

@DrGregMarsden In terms of carrot v stick, it would also have been helpful if this announcement had come alongside steep VED rises for new ICE cars. That seems to be the main driver of EV progress in Norway and Netherlands.
