🚨BREAKING: EU leaders just adopted the EU Nature Restoration Law! What an historic moment! 🎉

Despite a few dissenting governments, the majority of Member States supported the NRL in today’s vote, making it finally a law!

Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

Our reaction coming soon. #RestoreNature

Loved speaking at #mrslive with @tierney_smith about the impact of consumer research on environmental causes

Some mornings you wake up and feel positive... others you read a story like this and despair 😡

"The median FTSE 100 CEO is now paid 118 times the median UK full-time worker, an increase from 108 times in 2021 and 79 times in 2020."

Hello & good morning! A lot of heat and not much light in the last 24 hours about new oil & gas licences in the UK, so let's take a closer look shall we?

This is the most important power story in journalism right now. The world is not burning, it is *being set on fire*.

The most powerful companies in the world are putting profit over people.

The EU's nature restoration law, explained with fire 🔥

Food security isn't threatened by the restoration of ecosystems🌾🚫

It's threatened by those who ignore the consequences of nature’s collapse on agriculture.

No nature means no food. @EP_Environment, we need the Nature Restoration Law.

1/6 🎓🔬 I'm thrilled to share our new working paper. We find evidence that stock markets are starting to react to key climate litigation by devaluing the stocks of defending Carbon Majors.

Regardless of what you think about COP, in fact regardless of what you think about climate change, Sunak not attending COP26 is very bad politics.

Wondering how the effect of the #MiniBudget on post-tax incomes stacks up against the effects of rising costs across the income distribution?

Look no further. @NEF's brilliant @Sam_Tims has crunched the numbers.

The results are grim.

Five key takeaways from the #minibudget2022 🧵- Key point 1: £45 billion of tax cuts were announced today – going far beyond election promises to cancel corporation tax increases and reverse this year’s National Insurance rise.

Steel is integral to our way of life. We use it to build our buildings, bridges, cars & energy systems of the future.

Right now, it is fuelling the climate crisis - but it doesn't have to.

"As we gear up for another season of climate discussions... there is a clear opportunity to further catalyse demand for zero emissions steel."

Quick reminder that:

❌ Fracking fuels climate change
❌ Fracking won't bring down bills
❌ Fracking won't meet our energy needs
❌ Fracking doesn't mean more gas for the UK
❌ Fracking is opposed by majority of public

Renewables are the real solution.

📢After extensive engagement w @ShareAction & investors that filed a resolution (later withdrawn) in Jan' 2021, @HSBC has published its new coal policy

It's an important step forward

But it contains many loopholes & lacks the urgency required to avert the climate crisis

#COP26 is turning into most exclusive COP over the past decade.
Observers are barred for now from any access to entire negotiating area despite so many reassurances from @COP26 and @UNFCCC Sec.
Even first days of Copenhagen compare better.
Here comes a short thread with context
