UK diesel prices rose by 47p/litre between late February and early May. Our latest blog argues that continued reliance on diesel HGVs leaves our economy exposed to oil shocks, and a zero emission mandate reduce this with a negligible inflationary impact by comparison. 🔁 @businessgreen.bsky.social

UK fashion and textile firms are ready to build a circular economy. Without policy certainty, progress will stay too slow. The Circular Economy Growth Plan, with a clear timetable for textiles EPR, would unlock it. If not now, when? Adam Mansell, UKFT, in our #VoicesForTheCEGP series ⬇️

1/6 Today’s Well Adapted UK report from @thecccuk.bsky.social is a landmark warning: our way of life is under threat if we fail to cut emissions and prepare our economy and society for climate impacts. Our response from @rozbulleid.bsky.social and a 🧵 on why this matters 👇

Climate impacts already cost the UK billions, cause thousands of preventable deaths and hit national security. So why isn't adaptation a priority? @thecccuk.bsky.social's Well Adapted UK report sets out what parties, business and civil society must do. @johannbeckford.bsky.social explains 👇

🚨 Why should you care about the circular economy in a cost of living crisis? Libby Peake has 3,500 reasons. That's how many pounds she's saved on just five reused or refurbished purchases. The Circular Economy Growth Plan would help everyone do the same. If not now, when?

“If policy doesn’t acknowledge the growing and unequal impacts of climate change, then there is a real risk that rising temperatures will exacerbate inequalities.” Cath Smith, head of social impact, on the @thecccuk.bsky.social's 'Well Adapted UK' report. @theguardian.com @fionaharvey.bsky.social

New report 🧵 The green transition could create up to 725,000 jobs by 2030. But with youth unemployment at a ten year high and AI reshaping entry level roles, young people aren't being prepared to fill them. Here's what needs to change 👇

Reusing structural steel cut embodied carbon by over 40% on one Arup project. Scaling that across UK industry needs policy certainty. A Circular Economy Growth Plan would unlock it. If not now, when? Ben Glover of Arup in our #VoicesForTheCEGP series

744k tonnes of UK textile waste are dumped every year. Most ends up in landfill, incinerators or shipped overseas. A Circular Economy Growth Plan, with a clear timetable for textiles EPR, could help change that. If not now, when? Adam Mansell, UKFT, writes for our #VoicesForTheCEGP blog series ⬇️

Global instability has exposed how vulnerable UK supply chains are. A circular economy can deliver the resource security we need, and the much delayed Circular Economy Growth Plan would help unlock it. If not now, when? Guest blog from Jenny Grant, REA, for our #VoicesForTheCEGP series ⬇️

£3,500. That's how much Libby Peake, our head of resource policy, saved buying just five reused items, from a John Lewis sofa to a Paul & Joe silk dress. In her new blog, she argues the government's long-delayed Circular Economy Growth Plan is urgently needed to ease the cost of living crisis.

Framing biomethane as a straightforward fix to our reliance on fossil gas "overlooks the serious environmental and health risks of its expansion" - policy analyst Matilda Dunn, in the @theguardian.com ⬇️

"The codependence of food manufacturers and the environment means we need ways to produce food that is beneficial to both sides." Regenerative agriculture is increasingly seen as the answer. Emma Piercy of the @foodanddrinkfed.bsky.social makes the case on our blog ⬇️

For years, the price we pay for renewables has been dragged up by the cost of gas. That link may be starting to break. Our latest blog unpacks this week's energy announcements and what they mean for households.

"All fossil fuel supply chains are inherently fragile." This week, the government responded to that reality with a raft of clean energy measures, from decoupling electricity prices to expanding heat pump manufacturing. Our breakdown of the announcements and how the government can go further ⬇️

🆕⚡ The energy secretary has announced new measures to drive energy security by "doubling down" on the clean energy mission. Our response from director of politics Holly Brazier Tope ⬇️
