Championing the need to address the nature and climate crises together. Mum to two mini nature enthusiasts.

Civil society voices play an important role in our fight to tackle the climate crisis @COP29_AZ.

Thank you to @CAN_UK_ members for the productive discussion - @CAFOD, @wwf_uk, @christian_aid, @Natures_Voice, @oxfamgb, @savechildrenuk, @GreenpeaceUK & @Global_Witness

Let’s face it: We’re #InHotWater 🌡️

Marine heatwaves push ecosystems to the edge.

From coral bleaching to devastating storms, people and nature are in peril.

It’s time to stop burning fossil fuels.

The ocean – and our future – depend on it. #COP29 #ActForOurPlanet

Great to hear Ana Toni, Brazil Climate Secretary, highlight nature as first of 4 key pillars for Brazil's COP30 in the Amazon 🌳

[CAN-UK @CAN_UK_]

CAN-UK welcomes @theCCCuk advice to the UK Government on the 2035 #NDC, due to be announced at #COP29

We call for this to set the floor, but not the ceiling, of UK climate ambition and action.

One to watch!

This month our #climate theme is nature and climate

We will be exploring the interactions between nature and climate change, and what impacts can be expected in the future.

Head over to @metoffice_sci to learn more 👀

Get ready for tomorrow #GetClimateReady

[Melanie Coath @melaniecoath]

🌍🌧️Deeply concerning that some counties seeing 3x average rainfall according to @metoffice - huge impacts for people and nature, are we ready for the future? @DefraGovUK

@zerohour_uk @CarolineLucas @ChrisGPackham @GreenJennyJones @natalieben @AdrianRamsay @carla_denyer @ZoeGarbett @ZackPolanski @CarolineRussell @sianberry @as_penarth @GreenCllrs @BimAfolami I hope you will attend this important debate, thank you

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

UK is now one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. It is a national crisis - and neither the Tories nor Labour have a plan to address it. So tomorrow I'll be leading a debate in Parliament on UK biodiversity loss - please encourage your MP to take part.

Climate change effects are already devastating, how is it that the UK Government is so underprepared for future impacts?
Natural ecosystems are an obvious and cost-effective part of the solution with clear benefits for people, climate and wildlife @DefraGovUK

[CAN-UK @CAN_UK_]

#COP28 must deliver an end to fossil fuels to keep 1.5 alive.

The draft text on the table fails communities on the frontline of the climate crisis.

We don’t accept this.

We call on all Ministers at #COP28 including @grahamstuart to fight for all our futures.

Youth leader: we are part of nature, if we don't look after our environment, we too will be extinct #peoplesplenary @COP28

[Melanie Coath @melaniecoath]

Indigenous leader: People talk about nature-based solutions but we are part of nature, we know how to manage our lands, we are the solutions to climate change. #peoplesplenary @COP28

[Melanie Coath @melaniecoath]

Minister Christine Scipio, @StHelenaGovt, underlines that threatened #cloudforest provides most of the islands water supply and is home to over 250 unique species. Watch her earlier @COP28 powerful keynote address at: https://t.co/j1LqhOnpel

[Melanie Coath @melaniecoath]

Great to hear Minister @grahamstuart highlight at
@COP28 the role of @Natures_Voice in critical work to restore the St Helena cloud forest. Nature's role alongside a rapid #fossilfuelphaseout must be reflected in the Global Stocktake at COP28.

[Melanie Coath @melaniecoath]

Looking forward to representing @Natures_Voice and @BirdLife_News connecting outcomes are needed for nature here at #COP28 with the role of nature conservation on the ground for climate action

[Melanie Coath @melaniecoath]

Inspiring to hear the momentum behind investing in a #NaturePositive future at this screening of #SaveOurWildIsles and to speak on behalf of @Natures_Voice to highlight the urgent need for nature to be at the heart of climate talks here at #COP28

[CAN-UK @CAN_UK_]

At #COP28 today we warmly welcome King Charles' call to work together towards a net zero and nature positive future in tandem, respecting the rights and world view of Indigenous Peoples.

#EndFossilFuels
#NaturePositive
#ClimateJusticeNow

[Melanie Coath @melaniecoath]

Key #COP28 message from King Charles: we're taking the natural world into dangerous unchartered territory, conducting a vast experiment that's changing ecological conditions faster than nature can cope We need to work towards zero carbon #NaturePositive future
