With the Greens now having the same number of seats as Reform, the UK media should provide them the same platform and level of coverage as Farage’s ilk. Will it happen though? #GE24

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

WOW! Huge news from Supreme Court - an absolutely giant step forward to a fossil-free future. No longer can oil & gas projects get away with only counting a fraction of real emissions they're causing. Huge congrats to Sarah Finch, @WealdActionGr and @friends_earth #CountTheCarbon

Our banks are in a dangerous relationship with oil companies. I've just told my mine to stop financing fossil fuel expansion - will you do the same? https://t.co/lfxwjRVCGF

[Karen Barrass @kl07b]

@DBD365 @drrhysarcher @DrGaryFuller Thanks @DBD365 was a great day with a very engaged audience!

English councils have issued just three fines under tighter wood burner rules https://t.co/2uAhE4eMcm

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

BREAKING: Our new research reveals the inadequacy of the Government’s legislation at tackling #AirPollution from #WoodBurning. Only three fines have been handed out in Smoke Control Areas since Jan 2022, despite 10,000 complaints. https://t.co/dVCgoJvBSw

[Gary Fuller @DrGaryFuller]

"Just one prosecution & three fines handed out for people using banned wood-burning stoves in England...despite more than 10,000 complaints about wood being burned in populated areas since Jan 2022."

#ThisIsAwkward is back. Can you send @cities_clean your pics of your long lost stolen bikes?

[#StopRosebank @StopCambo]

NEW: The key to stopping the Rosebank oil field now lies with @Equinor & its majority shareholder the Norwegian government.

And the power to make them #StopRosebank is in our hands.

Today, we put them on notice: they’re in for a fight. Add your name👇

Enjoyed being on a great panel discussion today @ecioxford with @HP_water_world, @RobbieMac_ and @kl07b with Nick Eyre about what it takes to make #Sustainability a reality.

[Karen Barrass @kl07b]

Great to visit some old haunts in Oxford today and thanks to @ecioxford for inviting me to speak about sustainability policy delivery. Enjoyed the rich discussion with @RobbieMac_ @KathrynPharr @HP_water_world covering Overton windows, stone soup and everything in between.

[Karen Barrass @kl07b]

This was so much fun - thanks @LocalZeropod @RFordUK @fraserjfstewart for inviting me!

[Local Zero podcast @LocalZeropod]

Latest ep: a live panel chat @EnergyREV_UK's central London event. @RFordUK & @fraserjfstewart explore energy-smart places and local energy approaches to a #justtransition with a brilliant panel.

[Rt Hon Chris Skidmore @CSkidmoreUK]

Great to host and speak at the #UK100 Net Zero reception this evening- inspiring to meet with local councillors and organisations getting on with delivering net zero and decarbonisation. Empowering local communities to achieve net zero was a key conclusion of the #NetZeroReview

[IMOclimate @IMOclimate]

@Mark_J_Harper @grantshapps the UK sent an ambitious proposal to @IMOHQ of 37% emissions reduction by 2030.

Now, unbelievably, the Chair’s draft J5 paper has no 2030 target whatsoever, abandoning previous commitments to align with Paris Agreement.

Will you demand 2030 included?

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

#IPCC #ClimateChange 2023: Synthesis Report "is a survival guide for humanity," says @‌UN SG @‌antonioguterres in the IPCC press conference today.

[EnergyREV @EnergyREV_UK]

Champions for delivery are there, co-benefits are huge - social, evonomic, environmental -
in areas where #JustTransition is most needed that will push towards #NetZero - why are we still reluctant to run forwards! #energysmartplaces
