Across the UK, our rivers are being turned into filthy, dead gutters.
It's happening at astonishing, heartbreaking speed.

What if, instead of making fuel and other commodities and services more expensive, we used a financial incentive to make technologies that help reduce emissions more affordable?

Could this be a quicker way to get widespread adoption of green tech? https://t.co/LaqCd983zo

“The steps that the UK takes to rebuild from the Covid-19 pandemic can accelerate the transition to a successful and low-carbon economy and improve our climate resilience.” @lorddeben

If we make the right investments we can initiate a green recovery!

A new project launched in lockdown by a group of food activists and farmers is helping to bring fresh produce directly from farms to people’s plates.

Buying local is a great way to cut down on the emissions generated from food miles!

Although edible insects are a niche market in western countries, insect farming is a rapidly developing sector in Europe.

Insect farming provides high-quality protein with a low environmental footprint. What's stopping the market from taking off? https://t.co/OzwxkzVbLA

The installation of new gas boilers must be banned from 2025 or the UK’s net-zero climate target will be “doomed”.

This is a great example of win-win, we can help solve climate change and create 150,000 new jobs, why would we not do this?

Air pollution is linked to around 30,000 premature deaths in the UK annually.

During the lockdown 1 in 6 people with lung conditions have seen their symptoms improve, thanks to a 40% decrease in NO2 levels.

Time to permanently retire polluting vehicles!

The main takeaways from today's Twitter Chat on CO2 utilization is that although this area of research is complicated, unfortunately, humanity needs it and we need to be exploring a wide range of different ideas some of them weird, wonderful and wacky!

Twitter Chat on CO2 Utilisation.

According to the IPCC, keeping global warming to 1.5C with little or no overshoot will require the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.

Join me and two of the worlds experts to discuss the technology

However, @HSBC have refused to rule out funding new coal plants in Bangladesh, Indonesia and Vietnam

“Other countries should follow Norway's leadership, and adopt similar zero deforestation commitments,"
