The day before the UN General Assembly where climate is the critical topic not only is the UK PM not attending but now we see clear reneging on our Net Zero commitments. In the face of a deepening crisis what does this say to the world?

Rishi Sunak is considering changing some of the government's key green commitments.
Could include:
- Delaying ban on new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 to 2035
- Softening plans to phase out gas boilers.

This week 30k households across South Yorkshire will receive an invitation to join our Citizens' Assembly on climate change.
Together, we're going to find a path to a cleaner, greener, wealthier and healthier SY. Please keep an eye out for one of our letters and apply if you can.
MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.

Sobering report by @laura_laker
Chillingham Road Primary school had a problem with pavement parking (and driving). Last year I installed 2 benches. They were well received. So I fundraised for more benches and planters. Now it's a safe space for everyone to use.

Basic principles for the future of the car in cities:
✔️ Fewer
✔️ Smaller
✔️ Slower
✔️ Cleaner
This can be achieved with:
✔️ Parking controls
✔️ LTNs
✔️ Road User Pricing
✔️ Pedestrianisation
✔️ Default 20mph roads
✔️ Improved public transport
✔️ Segregated cycling
