The U.K. has 3X more offshore #wind potential than the countries total #energy consumption levels. The 16.6GW of offshore wind capacity in operation is enough to power 16 million homes, and represents 20% of the entire globe's operational offshore wind footprint 💨👣 #windpower
Globally, banks made more money from green investments than from underwriting fossil fuel companies for the fourth year in a row; earning £2.7bn from green loans in 2025 compared to £2.1bn from oil, gas & coal investments ♻️💰(@business, 2026).

Australia’s rainforests have hit a tipping point; they’re now releasing more CO₂ than they absorb, because climate-change-driven heat, drought & tree mortality are outpacing regrowth. If we don’t #ActNow, this natural buffer will rapidly collapse. (Carle, 2025)

Microplastics from packaging & clothes are being found across our bodies, from our brains to our arteries, linked to dementia, heart disease, changes in gut bacteria, depression & cancer. Experts say: cut plastic use, choose glass, metal & natural fibres (@IJMS_MDPI, 2023) 🔬🦠
New homes built with solar, heat pumps, high-grade insulation & battery storage could save occupants ~£1,300/yr. Bills nearly 3x lower than heat pump-only homes. Adding all features costs ~£5k upfront 🏡 💷

The share of European companies whose lobbying aligns with the EU's climate strategies has surged from just 3% in 2019 to 23% in 2025. Meanwhile, the proportion of firms deemed "misaligned" with #EU climate policy has dropped from 34% to 14% 🌍 (@InfluenceMap, 2025).

Plastic from @CocaCola products will make up over 600m kg of waste annually in oceans & waterways by 2030, enough to fill the stomachs of 18m whales 🐋 This is 40% more #plastic than the company used in 2018, as the company dilutes its #recycling goals ♻️ (@oceana, 2025). #SDG14
Moving to a nature-positive economy is estimated to generate $10.1 trillion in annual business value and 395 million jobs by 2030 (@BfNCoalition, 2024)
The world’s GDP could halve between 2070 & 2090 due to climate change if governments fail to act (IFoA, 2025). Without action, economic losses will rise as extreme weather events grow more frequent. A 3C+ rise above pre-industrial levels by 2050 could cause over 4 billion deaths.
If new homes were built with solar panels, a heat pump, high-grade insulation and battery storage, occupants would save an average of £1,300 a year, whilst only adding an additional ~£5,000 more at construction (@_MCS_Foundation, 2024) 🏡 ♻️

This year, more than 1,770 oil and gas lobbyists, allied with oil producing countries, were given access to COP 29 (@corporateeurope, 2024). These lobbyists will work to water down the language and targets of @IPCC_CH reports.
Enough is enough.

The richest 1% of humanity is responsible for more carbon emissions than the poorest 66%. It would take about 1,500 years for someone in the bottom 99% to produce as much CO2 as the richest billionaires do in a year (@Oxfam, 2023).

40% of people in high-income countries fly at least once a year, contributing to aviation’s 2.5% share of global CO2 emissions. The non-CO2 effects. like contrails, triple aviation’s climate impact ✈️ @TheICCT#ClimateAction#AviationEmissions#SustainableTravel
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted in Dec 22, set targets to protect 30% of global land & water by 2030. Yet, 85% of countries missed the deadline to submit their biodiversity plans, risking critical ecosystems. Time to act! 🌍 #Biodiversity#GlobalGoals
