"Bringing down energy bills is the right priority for the chancellor for this difficult budget, when her political opponents have lined up, falsely, to blame the squeeze on families on environmental policies". @shaunspiers1.bsky.social, executive director, reacts to today's #budget 👇

In today's episode of #TheGreenAlliancePodcast, @ruthchambers.bsky.social talks to @chrisgpackham.bsky.social + environment law experts about the need to protect the right to protest in the UK for both democracy & the environment amid growing strain. Full ep: green-alliance.org.uk/podcast/in-c...

The critical minerals strategy, released to minimal fanfare at the weekend, was an opportunity to bolster economic resilience and show leadership when global resource competition is only set to intensify. Did it achieve it? Libby Peake, senior fellow and head of resource policy breaks it down 👇

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴 | The autumn 2025 budget was delivered against a difficult economic backdrop and contained some unpopular tax rises. But did it deliver for the environment? Read here how it measured up against our priorities:

📻 In #TheGreenAlliancePodcast I discuss the erosion of environmental rights in the UK with special guests @chrisgpackham.bsky.social and legal experts. ✅ Despite the role the right to protest has played in shaping our society, we cannot take it for granted. green-alliance.org.uk/podcast/in-c...

Today's #budget saw an important refocus on tackling the cost of living and ramping up electrification and decarbonisation, though with some drawbacks. Nick Davies, head of climate, shares some key highlights 👇

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO), an insulation scheme funded through energy bills, has been scrapped. The latest version faced structural issues and needed an overhaul, but ECO has run for over a decade, supporting a steady supply chain for retrofit businesses. So, what does this mean? 🧵1/4

Great news! As part of today’s budget, the Chancellor announced that £2.3b of the Renewables Obligation will move into government spending. We called for this in our pre-budget briefing, and is a much needed action that will deliver a £67/yr decrease in household bills (per the Oct 2025 price cap).

Why is it important to rebuild the environmental consensus? We asked Mya-Rose Craig, activist, author and founder of Black2Nature, at our conference earlier this month. Here’s what she said 👇

"Shoehorning criteria on economic policy and infrastructure development into the Chair’s job description threatens the OEP’s mission to provide independent environmental accountability.” @ruthchambers.bsky.social, senior fellow, in @endsreport.com 👇

“Losing domestic car manufacturing would be a major blow to the economy, with hundreds of thousands of good jobs at stake.” Steve Coulter, head of economy, explains why Britain needs a serious plan to keep high‑value EV production at home in our latest blog.

“The future of driving is clearly electric – but EVs driven on British roads don’t have to be built in Britain.” Steve Coulter, head of economy, discusses why the UK risks losing out on jobs and investment without a robust plan for EV manufacturing in our latest blog.

“Business as usual is not an option for the British car industry.” In our latest blog, Steve Coulter, head of economy, argues why only a serious, long term industrial strategy can secure the UK’s place in the global race for electric vehicles ⤵️

Where does the blame lie for 400 lost jobs at #Mossmorran – and how do we stop it happening again? ExxonMobil blamed UK policy, but the plant was outdated and unprofitable. Strong profits went to shareholders, not upgrades or a just transition. Read more:

Energy bills are rising again – and urgent action is needed. Today’s energy price cap increase, hitting households in the new year, is an unwelcome shock. Many are still struggling, and this will sting especially after forecasts predicted bills would fall. @rozbulleid.bsky.social reacts 👇 1/2

"There has been a total failure by governments to come up with a strategy to futureproof against this inevitability, provide good jobs into the future and support communities to thrive." @liamkhardy.bsky.social, head of research, explains the closure of #Mossmorran and the action needed next ⤵️

ExxonMobil’s decision to close Mossmorran ethylene plant, risking over 400 jobs, follows a depressingly similar pattern to the closure of the Grangemouth oil refinery less than a year ago🏭 In our latest blog, Liam Hardy @liamkhardy.bsky.social discusses why this is happening and who is to blame.

Wales is creating a new environmental watchdog after 7 years of waiting - but will it have the teeth it needs? In our latest blog, @ruthchambers.bsky.social tells the story of a bill racing against time, political uncertainty and the fight to get the details right. 🔁 @iwa-wales.bsky.social

"Beneficial repurposing is in the eye of the beholder" Guest blog by Harriet Child explores the tension between development and protecting public spaces – through the lens of recent House of Lords debates and real community battles. A story about who decides the future of our shared green spaces.

Good news! The boiler upgrade scheme will now support air-to-air heat pumps, which keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer. These offer households more benefits than boilers while cutting reliance on bill-hiking fossil fuels. We called for this change earlier this year. Full reccs 👇 1/2

10% of Britain's public land sold off since the 1970s. Communities left out of the conversation. In our latest guest blog, Harriet Child of @pilc-campaigns.bsky.social tells the story of public trusts, consultation failures and why the Lords' decision on the Planning Bill matters.

The House of Lords just defended public green spaces against a major threat 🌳 In our latest guest blog, Harriet Child, solicitor @pilc-campaigns.bsky.social, tells the story of how communities are fighting back against the sale of parks and open spaces – and winning.

Grangemouth shows both the risks and opportunities of industrial transition. Over 400 jobs lost - but the site could become a hub for clean fuels and chemicals. In this briefing, we outline urgent 'no regrets' actions and the policy changes needed to secure a future for the site and its community.

“Grangemouth didn’t fail because of climate policy or net zero targets. It failed because it was uncompetitive and there was no long term government strategy to steer what happened next.” @rozbulleid.bsky.social writes on the lessons learned from and opportunities ahead for Grangemouth ⤵️

Last Monday, TABLE & our partners @foodfoundation.bsky.social & @green-alliance.org.uk presented findings from our AGILE Initiative "Reckoning with Regeneration" project, to a room of practitioners, philanthropists, & academics in London. Report coming soon! More on the project: buff.ly/fTEdStB

“It is critical that competitiveness and decarbonisation are seen as two sides of the same coin.” @rozbulleid.bsky.social writes on decline and opportunity at Grangemouth, and why it is a warning of the need to act quickly on decarbonising industry ⤵️

Interesting interview on #R4today with the head of Google. For a somewhat more scepitcal take on #AI, have a listen to the @green-alliance.org.uk podcast with @ginasue.bsky.social green-alliance.org.uk/podcast/can-...

“The closure of Grangemouth oil refinery in Scotland this year has been more than just a local setback, it has become a political football and a warning on the need to plan for industrial change.” @rozbulleid.bsky.social writes on the lessons learned from and opportunities ahead for Grangemouth ⤵️
