We might be trainee Public Health consultants, but we can’t wait until we’re qualified for climate action. Tweets by SpRs Alice Munro and May Van Schalkwyk.

Our inaugural tweet! Pledges made at a Registrar Academic Day in the West Midlands to reduce carbon footprints and promote sustainability in our personal and professional lives.

Delighted to have had our abstract accepted! Looking forward to demonstrating some of the tools from @WorldClimate to a health audience at the @SustainSHSUoB conference 2020, with @MajelMcG.

[David Buck (also @davidjbuck.bsky.social) @davidjbuck]

Good stuff. But imagine one where the dominant economic, social and environmental causes of population health are fully reflected in govt knowledge, decision-making, funding and communication with the public. We are still imagining.

#divestment has the power to drive down the value of fossil fuels in the real world.

[Ric says "X.com is owned by a fascist" @ricjl]

“Because of divestment"… fossil fuels are "in the death knell phase”, says stock market reporter on @CNBC. 😲

‘Twas the night before Brexit
When all through the state
Some people were worried
Concerned for their fate
Claims had been made without enough care
In the belief that EU membership was grossly unfair

[KeenGreenRegistrars @green_keen]

Loss of feed in tariff for renewables, lack of capital investment for energy efficiency, sale of NHS car parks, under funded public transport - some of the transformative changes needed require subsidies and support, warm words are not enough @NHSI @SusHealthcare .

[recycleclinic @recycleclinic_]

@dayforaction What are the main barriers to funding?

[Sustainability Partnerships @Sustain_Partner]

Without raining on what is such a positive parade, but where will the money come from for this. Our work has shown most #sustainability leads cant get funding for projects to deliver #carbon reductions, so how will this change it or is it just a nod to say, we get you!

[KeenGreenRegistrars @green_keen]

@SusHealthcare have so many case studies ready to go to get the NHS to net zero - time to scale up and tackle some of the barriers to adoption @NHSEngland

[CSH Chair @SusHealth_Chair]

RT @Redathon: @SusHealthcare @NHSEngland Great resource! I hope organisations adopt these examples of best practice to make rapid improvement rather than wasting time & resource in setting up from scratch.

[KeenGreenRegistrars @green_keen]

The Citizens Assembly on climate change may not have the influence people hoped for, but they will be a well informed cross-section of people whose views will tell us what's possible when the science, and solutions, are communicated clearly and honestly.

[Chris Stark @StarkClimate]

How was your weekend? Mine was quiet.

[Jonathon Porritt @jonathonporritt]

First exposure to the Climate Assembly UK here in Birmingham - it was addressing science and impacts this morning,this afternoon looking more at the ethics. Fascinating process! #ClimateAssemblyUK

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

Staff at @GreatOrmondSt have reduced their consumption of disposable gloves by more than 21 tonnes in the last 10 months alone! #GreenerNHS

[Chris Venables @chrisjvenables]

Errr, am I missing something, or has the Government FULL-ON nicked Labour's 'Green Industrial Revolution' framing? 👇 (See Weds next week.) Smart move if so - and tbh, really good to see climate + economy getting a bit of air-time next week. 👌

[Royal College of Physicians @RCPhysicians]

Climate change will significantly impact public health and we have an important role to play in highlighting the health impact.

We have adopted a new Climate Policy to ensure that our public advocacy is consistent with our own investments.

A promising announcement to start the new year with - the College of Physicians to end investment in fossil fuel and mining companies, thanks to @Medact for sharing https://t.co/FMRmbzqiQz

[Climate and Health Alliance @healthy_climate]

You are talking about #air pollution that is killing some people @ScottMorrisonMP - how about getting a briefing from health experts like @SotirisVard or @Lungfoundation or @_PHAA_ & show some leadership by being upfront about risks? #bushfiresAustralia #ClimateEmergency #auspol

[Adam Reynolds @awjre]

For anyone thinking this is crazy, the socioeconomic cost of driving one urban mile is 9p, cycling and walking have a BENEFIT of 15p and 32p respectively. Our way of accounting fails to recognise this. We need people to use alternatives to private cars. It's literally killing us.
