@paulpowlesland : policing littering and volunteer litterpicking isn’t enough. Only solution is a packaging return system, mandatory for companies.

Emma Montlake from @ELF_Law says cultural change is necessary in UK: children see themselves as separate from nature.

[Laurence Doering @strictlyliable]

@paulpowlesland suggests river pollution fines should be held on trust for river management rather than going into general treasury as is currently the case

[Laurence Doering @strictlyliable]

@paulpowlesland: rights of nature will be to the 21st century what human rights were to the 20th.

@dpcarrington It’s untrue that there’s nothing in the #EnergyStrategy about efficiency: there’s a whole section with a number of measures including financial support for insulation. Is there any expert analysis of that?

[Laurence Doering @strictlyliable]

@GreenpeaceUK There is a section on #energyefficiency in the #EnergyStrategy, including financial aid to insulate homes and upgrade boilers. Is there any independent analysis of those measures?

International law is coalescing around the #climate challenge. Thank you @ChristinaVoigt2 and @Lauterpacht_Ctr for the excellent webinar

[Laurence Doering @strictlyliable]

@mccordonier @Lauterpacht_Ctr @CLGInitiative @BennettInst Thank you @ChristinaVoigt2 for the excellent tour de force of international climate law and for humouring my questions 🙂

Today #ICJ heard #Ukraine's application for an urgent order that Russia suspend its military operation. Powerful display of a state using international law for the peaceful resolution of conflict. Sadly Russia did not participate.
