FAIRR’s recent document on #protein and #nutrition shows that all protein sources (animal, plant, insect, and cultivated) have all essential amino acids 🌱

It also highlights the widespread misconception that high-protein diets improve metabolic health.

Last minute position changes by brave politicians in Austria & Slovakia finally allowed the EU's Nature Restoration Law to pass. Under the law 30% of habitats covered, such as wetlands, grasslands, rivers, forests & lakes must be restored by 2030.

We have economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. Now we need economies that enable us to thrive, whether or not they grow. Here's what I just wrote about it in @guardian 1/2

Hidden costs in the global #FoodSystem are expected to rise to $13 trillion by 2050, if risks including #GreenhouseGas emissions and #AntimicrobialResistance are not addressed.

From my speech to @Climate_Action_ @UNEP_FI Sustainable Investment Forum- on why those mayors who have strong and positive visions for the future of their local regions- including how net zero can deliver for their future economies- are rewarded at the ballot box

‘Engaging who’ and ‘engaging how’ are interlinked and equally important, according to @sofiacondes, FAIRR’s Director of Investor Outreach, who is discussing the role of effective engagement for #stewardship at @esg_investor’s Stewardship Summit in London.

#US banks pledge #NetZero but are 'sabotaging' efforts by financing #meat & #dairy industries, says report. A 'cow-shaped hole' in #climate plans, emitting 24m metric tonnes of #CO2. Time to align financing with climate goals! 🌍🐄 #ClimateAction

Science has confirmed the unparalleled ability of mature & old growth trees to absorb and store carbon pollution. Latest studies show that the carbon-absorbing abilities of trees only increase as they age!

[watershed_investigations @WATERSHED_i]

Europe-wide study of chemicals in rivers published in @env_int_journal uncovers cocktail of nasties likely to have huge impact on invertebrates, algae & fish. Many of these compounds would be bad on their own but, combined, they're a toxic mess.

READ: Paris is rolling out its BIG, BOLD 2024-2030 Climate Plan, with urban biking at the heart of the plan. #Paris now officially prioritizes cycling infrastructure, and is building 180km MORE cycling paths & 130k bike parking spaces by 2026.

Leadership.

Since my visit to the River Spey last year the whole of the UK's population of Atlantic salmon has been placed on @IUCN's endangered species list.

It now joins the black rhino, mountain gorillas and tigers.

I dare you, tell me again how you're doing your job @ScottishEPA.

A @GlobalFishWatch study found that around 75% of the world's industrial fishing vessels are "dark," or not publicly tracked. Many vessels are likely operating illegally, fishing inside protected areas, encroaching on other countries' waters...

EU takes the ax to green farming rules, further exposing us to the impacts of climate change. Short term electioneering over long term gains. https://t.co/qbcUT4lIZ6
