Zero West

Accelerating the transition to zero carbon in the West of England

[Zero West @ZeroWestCIC]

We’re excited to launch @movingbristol with our new manifesto! #MoveBristolForward

Imagine a city with better public transport, improved cycle paths and more, while achieving climate goals.

It’s #WorldCarFreeDay and @BromptonBicycle have taken over an old London petrol station for test rides and free coffee for people travelling car-free.

Swing by today until 8pm. 69 Borough Road, SE1 1DN 👇

Changing the way our cities work isn't always linear as this article by @BrentToderian explains. But we need to change, to help the climate, to cut living costs and to make life healthier. People first towns and cities, will make life better #BikeIsBest https://t.co/PS6W3MZcHX

[Aldersgate Group @AldersgateGrp]

"With the legacy costs of older renewables falling and the price of new #renewables five times lower than gas, clearly a higher renewables mix would drastically reduce the costs households face this winter"

Very useful insights from @RenewableUK today 👇

if you're wondering why climate impacts seem to be getting much worse suddenly, let me introduce you to the concept of non-linearity. A short 🧵:

5pm today - #ClimateEmergency report launch with @ceebill_now

📈 Reducing emissions, warm words won't cut it.
🌉 It's time to bridge the gap between the UK's current direction—and the ambition needed to keep 1.5°C alive.

Useful context for Jet Zero and "guilt-free flying":

"Efforts to make flying greener mostly count carbon dioxide emissions only, but modelling shows this ignores 90 per cent of future flights’ contribution to climate change"

[Big Issue @BigIssue]

The government's new plans to make flying "guilt free" rely on unproven technologies and don't include demand management, environmentalists have warned https://t.co/dwv2z6ZYLu

💰💰 funding op 💰💰 Campaigners love to chat about the health "co-benefits" of climate action. We're ready to put some ££ where your mouth is. https://t.co/6rvTzp49zu

would be interesting to know how the aviation folks involved in this hydrogen initiative read this chart highlighted by @MLiebreich

[Adam Rainey @LBGAmbSthWest]

Great to see groups across the SW join forces to unlock the potential of hydrogen as an energy source. Transport, engineering and aerospace will work together to pave the way for a greener future 🍃

Big new @theCCCuk progress report out today and the headline is unmistakeable- we are still way off track to meeting our net zero target and the biggest hole is in our leaky homes.

We urgently need a #GreatHomesUpgrade and it cannot happen by the govt. being sheepish about it!

[CSE @HelloCSE]

Want to know what a #Retrofitted home looks like?🏠 Join our online webinar on Thursday at 6pm.

We’ll highlight why #EfficiencyFirst is important and you'll see inside people's homes who have made #Sustainable changes and hear their journeys. Sign up now https://t.co/Y256p7SVxn

Could you shake up your morning commute?🚴‍♀️

Martin, like more and more people, is taking #BristolClimateAction and ditching the car to #cycle to work. He said the health benefits have been amazing!
