I am pleased to share a new report recommending a paradigm shift in #energyefficiency policies to #BuildBackBetter, complementing a #RenovationFund4All and #EEFIG recommendations we previously shared with @Energy4Europe.
We recommend 1) helping doctors 'prescribe' retrofits 1/5

[DWS Group @DWS_Group]

As @Energy4Europe prepares to publish its #greenstimulus, our new report expands on #EEFIG recommendations: renovating buildings need supportive policies like minimum standards that draw on @crrem_project & engaging with utility companies @SENSEIH2020 https://t.co/V0wyTQR6UK

@KatyKing2 @_heatgeek I had a sound assessment done for MVHR-pointless. I encouraged Barnet to change their policies which I think they have now done…happy to connect

The injustices of climate impacts…

"#Women are not only more susceptible to physically getting sick from #heat, they're also disproportionately expected to care for everyone else who's sick from heat, whether that's paid care or unpaid care," says head of @ArshtRock #climate https://t.co/jSUZlHiNxM

@Samfr I sometimes find it strange (after growing up in Canada) that rubbish collection in a particular Council is a topic raised in Parliament…

[Nathan Bennett @nathansbennett]

Great piece👇

After days of debate about public attitudes to 'green policies' - new polling shows watering down net zero & green growth ambition couldn't be further from the public mood - and most notably, what swing voters want

Thanks for highlighting this Steve! Positive hooks for an international future for EEFIG! #energyefficiency #climateaction

Extreme heat is dominating headlines. From Texas to Greece, people are suffering through record-breaking temperatures. This is a climate emergency. ♨️

I had the opportunity to speak about the devastating heat this week and what it means for us all. 🧵

@RichardJMurphy @AccountingWEBuk Thank you for highlighting this!

NEW ANALYSIS: Only 55,000 heat pumps were sold in the UK last year, compared with more than 620,000 in France.

Twenty other European countries also had higher installation rates than the UK.

THREAD - The Drowning of Doggerland

(1) Cities may be burnt & forgotten, distant islands lost & found. It is rare that an entire landmass is erased, only to be rediscovered millennia later.

This is the story of Europe's true Atlantis, of a Prehistoric world, lost to the sea.

"Renault and Aston Martin backer Geely to launch UK firm injecting £6bn and creating 19,000 jobs"

Gosh, doesn't that sound great? Tory MPs and the RW press have been feasting on the story.

Pity it's not true.

Let's take this step by step...

Energy smart meters – we want to know if you have them and what you think of them. Does yours work? And if you don't have them – why not? If you've a few minutes to fill in this MSE survey that'd be great... https://t.co/bWPigeoqaA

A powerful thread on what Brexit has cost us, told simply and not specifically focusing on economic numbers

This is incredibly stupid and immoral to cut international climate and humanitarian financing

[James Murray @James_BG]

If this is true it is not just morally shameful, it would also amount to the dumbest diplomatic failure in decades. Just a staggering act of self harm. https://t.co/FQVXftpZvl

Encouraging survey!

DESNZ attitude tracker is out

82% of the public care about climate change

85% of people think we can reduce the effects of climate change if we all do our bit

Trust in newspapers and social media for info on climate is low, high for scientists
