A welcome U-turn by @RishiSunak

It always was a strange line to say he couldn't go because of 'domestic priorities' and the state of the UK economy

Tackling climate change IS a domestic priority, and it should be at the heart of UK economic strategy

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

Despite a change in Prime Minister, our endangered - and recovering - species are still at risk. In our latest blog, @WildlifeTrusts experts pick a beloved species each to explain the threats they face and call for a stop to the #AttackOnNature https://t.co/SKoYksdvMq

[Corporate Leaders Groups @ClimateCLG]

📣We look forward to working with @RishiSunak to accelerate the #cleanenergy transition and #climateaction.

Over 100 businesses signed our letter urging UK leadership to prioritise strong #climate and #naturerestoration policies.

30+ laws to protect our rivers and other waters could be swept aside by the end of 2023. Controls on chemical discharges, sewage and farm pollution, designed to protect life in our rivers, are in the firing line under the Retained EU Law Bill. Read more: https://t.co/1mgZqddS3h

By 2024 more peat will be in bogs not bags! 💚
Today, the UK Government has announced that there will be a TOTAL BAN on the sale of bagged peat compost. We’ve been fighting for this since 1990 and recognise it is an important step in the protection of our peatlands. (1/5)

☀️ With temperatures remaining high, our teams have continued to work incredibly hard in challenging conditions to keep our areas safe.

@Debbie_Tann @TheSouthernCoop Thanks for sharing this news. Matt I can confirm this is a permanent move and our franchise partners have been encouraged to follow suit. Some have already removed completely, others had followed our previous position of removing from locations in and around national parks.

[Gemma Lacey @gemmalacey_tsc]

@TheSouthernCoop will stop selling disposable BBQs in all our Co-operative Food stores by Sunday 7 August to protect the environment at a time of greatly increased risk of fire. We hope our customers support this important move to protect our local wildlife and ecosystems.

⚠️ Beavers in England are at risk ⚠️ Yesterday, UK Gov reneged on their commitment to give them legal protection. This is yet another broken promise. RT to join us in letting @VictoriaPrentis @DefraGovUK know that it’s not good enough. (1/4) https://t.co/gZtC82RSli
