Introducing the Rivers at Risk 💧 We're looking beneath the surface of some iconic and important National Park rivers to highlight key risks and why we need to rescue our rivers. You can take action for our rivers 👉 www.cnp.org.uk/support/camp...

The oceans are dying, just as happened in The Great Dying 250 million years ago Only today it's happening much, much, faster And do the world's governments and fossil fuel giants care? Do they hell www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘Science demands action’: world leaders and UN push climate agenda forward despite Trump’s attacks

Time: Tuesday 30th September 17.30 - 18.30  Location: Environmental Hub, Labour Party Conference

See you there!

Absurd. How little does this Government care about the climate? Squeezing out 100k more flights a year won’t improve people’s daily lives. Investing in a growing green economy to lower bills, create high-paid jobs and cut deadly air pollution will! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🪧 Power to the people... the people got the power 🎶 Hacking away at rules that were supposed to keep people safe from harm, the environment protected and ensure workers are treated with care and respect... We say no ❌ to the @ec.europa.eu's deregulation wave‼️ Info www.backtothefuturemarch.org

"Zack Polanski described a second Gatwick runway as a “disaster”. “Ignores basic climate science and risks undermining efforts to tackle the climate crisis. “Labour keeps wheeling out the same nonsense about growth, but at what cost?” www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Happy Autumn Equinox from Norwich FoE.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

We’ll be at the Norfolk Biodiversity Fair, Saturday 4 October, 10.00-14.00, The Forum, Norwich. Come and say hello!

Norwich FoE event: Steering Humanity through AI & Climate Risk. Details here: actionnetwork.org/events/steer...

Nuclear energy is extraordinarily expensive and produces radioactive waste that we don’t have a solution for. The Hinkley Point C nuclear project costs have soared from £18bn to almost £50bn. It's time to focus on renewables and energy storage. ✊ www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/backl...

Nice one Labour 👏👏👏 A second runway at Gatwick will be an unmitigated disaster for the climate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Tell Labour they must put climate first to win your vote: VoteClimate.uk/register

Emergency action on the climate and nature crisis will make ordinary people better off. Far too few people know this, and are swayed instead by Reform's dishonest promises. That's why need a National Emergency Briefing on the #climate and #nature crisis. Is your MP attending? #TimeToStepUp #NEB

BREAKING 🚨 : Climate-fueled heatwaves killed 1,147 people in the UK this summer. Scientists say most of these deaths were driven by global heating. Approving new oil and gas will only make it worse. That is why we must #StopRosebank www.theguardian.com/environment/...

BREAKING: 🎶 Flash mob takes over King’s Cross Station in a protest against climate-wrecking Rosebank oil field. Rosebank’s future is undecided. But together, we can stop it. @climatechoirs.bsky.social have used their voices - will you use yours? 📣 Join us 👉 bit.ly/rosebankchoir

Europe faces billions in economic losses from summer heatwaves, droughts and floods, study warns.

Our chief executive took to the stage at the #StandUpToRacism demonstration on 13 September to make it clear that the fight for racial justice, for climate justice and for economic justice is one and the same. And it’s a fight we can only win together. @standuptoracismuk.bsky.social

This past weekend we joined #StandUpToRacism, trade unions, faith groups, migrant justice organisations and thousands of others in a march against the far right, showing that hate is not welcome in London, or anywhere else.

UK Gov experts have shown that ending fossil fuels will save the UK nearly £40 billion a year and rising. Electrification saves all the heat wasted from burning gas & oil. The £319 billion investment needed is only 8x what the Gov spent shielding users from high gas prices in 2022/3. Bargain! 🧵1/2

Hugely important event. As many leaders as possible should respond to invites to this. Well done @sioldridge.bsky.social and team

What if we treated the threat of climate & nature breakdown like the pandemic threat, with an official non-political science briefing for the nation? #NationalEmergencyBriefing 27th November • Westminster Central Hall Has your MP confirmed yet? Check here: www.nebriefing.org #TimeToStepUp #NEB

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it? Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

New science shows that the potential for storing CO₂ has been wildly overestimated. Governments everywhere need to fact facts, and stop using #CCS as life support for the fossil gas industry. They should start listening to scientists who've set out how 100% renewables can be achieved: see reply.

New North Sea drilling won’t lower bills, safeguard jobs or provide energy security. 80% of the oil we produce is exported abroad for profit. And we're running out of gas. Even with new fields, we'll be 94% dependent on imports by 2050. Don't believe the industry lies.

How are gas companies getting away with this?? Ultimately, we all want the same thing: cheaper electricity that doesn’t damage our air or the health of our children and communities. We have the solutions. Now we just need action. Sign the petition to stop the Great Gas Rip-Off --> act.gp/4mcKPAt

❗️BREAKING The Met Office has confirmed this summer was the hottest on record: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... ☀️ But without urgent action, summer 2025 will seem normal in a few decades' time. ✅ Tell Labour they must take real climate action to win your vote: VoteClimate.uk/register

🚨BREAKING: The Tories have announced plans to scrap climate commitments for fossil fuel companies and support them to drill for every last drop of oil & gas. This a great plan to enrich the industry, keep bills high, stall the transition and wreck the climate. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

'The government was elected on a manifesto pledge to ban new coal licences. Now, through secretive courts, overseas investors are trying to undermine this. They're seeking what will likely be eye-watering levels of compensation for their failed and destructive proposals.'- N. Toru, FoE foe.uk/mmkvu
