🌳🌲International Day of Forests! 🌳🌲

We are working hard with @CivTechScotland, @AACClydeSpace & @2Excel_Aviation on some very exciting and innovative work which could help monitor tree pests & diseases. It's cutting edge! #ForestDay

It's still slightly under wraps, but it's really exciting to start working with innovators to address this challenge through @CivTechScotland.

Delighted to have launched @scotforestry first @CivTechScotland challenge yesterday.

A challenge where technology could have an actual national – and global – impact on the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis.

Our forests are a primary way to mitigate against the climate and biodiversity crises

But the changing climate is improving conditions for threats

We need to detect tree stress earlier and act sooner before threats take hold. Our @CivTechScotland challenge looks to do that

Sometimes the best vision of what is possible here and now is the one where others already did it someplace else.

@ojusher @mforddownes Clooney and Bullock are such huge stars they make their own Gravity. ⭐

[Kyle Usher @kyle_usher]

@ojusher @mforddownes I agree. It's a good film but it had one job 😄

[Kyle Usher @kyle_usher]

@ojusher @mforddownes Gravity. The film that doesn't understand gravity.

New Year = new job!

After 4.5 years at @nesta_uk / @Nesta_Scotland working on Government innovation and decarbonisation, I'm excited to be moving on to work with the best carbon capture technology on the planet. Trees.

To decarbonise high numbers of UK homes, the finances need to work for more people. But if carbon saving improvements actually add value - the finance models completely change.

This study by @SnuggEnergy reveals property value increases from upgrades in Edinburgh and Bristol.

[Snugg @SnuggEnergy]

Are energy-efficient homes the answer to rising #energybills and #climatechange? Check out our new report to discover the energy cost savings and property value increases from making energy efficiency upgrades in #Edinburgh and #Bristol here 👉 https://t.co/13AfhjEkJ3

The UK will need a range of low-carbon home heating technologies to get to net zero.

From heat pumps to thermal storage, we've rounded up the emerging low-carbon technologies that will transform how we heat our homes. https://t.co/cqZFuK7DNM

The Money Saving #BoilerChallenge features in the government's new #ItAllAddsUp campaign to highlight simple, no or low-cost actions that will cut down on energy use and bills👇
