It's estimated in the UK alone we need to invest £1bn+ per year to achieve necessary progress in nature, climate and water. Who pays? 🤔 Green Finance may hold the answer. New episode out today - fascinating listen right at the cutting edge of what might move the needle. 🎧➡️ bit.ly/PP_greenfinance

Great to see so much positive reaction to our new episode - out today - all about Green Finance. It's going to be a massive growth area and it opens the possibility of a "new economy" - one that works with nature, not against it. Have a listen and get informed: 🎧➡️ bit.ly/PP_greenfinance 🌍💧💡

Green finance - if it’s driving more growth how do we ensure it’s sustainable and fair? Hear from #Triodos UK CEO on the latest Planet Possible - out now! bit.ly/PP_greenfinance #SustainableGrowth #GreenFinance #NewEpisode #PlanetPossible

Clive Lewis MP asking what sort of growth we actually want in the UK - what we might mean by sustainable growth. So enthused to hear this being debated in Parliament. www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

@rozsavagemp.bsky.social making her opening remarks now on the Climate & Nature Bill… watch live here www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

This bill is absolutely vital and it is critical that it includes nature AND climate. Any last-minute attempts to water it down would be fundamentally catastrophic Hold fast everyone involved and the country will thank you for it @rozsavagemp.bsky.social

Interesting reading the @theguardian.com on the Climate & Nature Bill heading to Westminster tomorrow. Hear why @rozsavagemp.bsky.social is tabling the Bill and the impact it could have if passed… bit.ly/PP_climate_nature #CANBill

Passionate case by @rozsavagemp.bsky.social for Climate & Nature bill (& flat hedgehogs!) @zero-hour.bsky.social + Lord Deben pulls no punches: “The treasury has got to learn something that it doesn’t like: that climate and nature are absolutely crucial for the future.” #CANBill

Out now! Find out what the Climate and Nature Bill is hoping to achieve from the MP who’s bringing it to Westminster, @rozsavagemp.bsky.social - on @planetpossible.bsky.social - out today! Listen here - bit.ly/PP_climate_nature #CANBill #ClimateAndNature #ClimateChange @zero-hour.bsky.social

Kicking off 2025 with a powerful & timely conversation about the Climate & Nature Bill with Roz Savage MP explaining why this is such an important piece of legislation & find out what our Co-host, Rt Hon The Lord Deben thinks about the future of the Climate Change Committee. Available tomorrow!

The climate and nature crisis is one of the most pressing challenges facing our generation. I am pleased that Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and climate champion Dominique Palmer are also backing @libdems.org.uk MP Ros Savage’s #CANBill - which aims to ensure we put our planet’s future first.

Role reversal & I was interviewed by the fab Lila Thompson for Beneath the Surface pod. We covered… 💧Diversity in Recruitment 💧Lived Experience Matters 💧Gender Bias in the Workplace 💧Risk-Taking for Growth 🎧 Listen here : bit.ly/BTS_career #EDI #CareerGrowth #WaterSector #Podcast

The water sector in the UK is a tricky place to say you work in at the moment. People have got lots of opinions on what’s not going well. So for balance here’s some stuff that is going well. I spent the afternoon hearing about drones collecting water quality samples for better data accuracy (🧵)…

The water sector in the UK is about to undergo a once in a generation review - the Cunliffe Review. We heard from the independent commission what’s in - and out - of scope… #AFreshWaterFuture @alastairchisholm.bsky.social

Nuestra próxima episodio de Posible Planeta vamos a explorar los inundaciones en Valencia en Octubre con Miguel Cano, un ingeniero del agua viviendo en Valencia en este momento. El podcast es en inglés y puedes traducir el transcripción. Saldrá 19 Diciembre. #Valencia #inundaciones #podcast

Great to hear ambitious reform proposed by Emma Hardy MP with need for more NbS and SuDS forming pat of that change.

@alastairchisholm.bsky.social kicking the day off in the spectacular lecture theatre at IMechE!

Early start and late finish kind of day but worth it to be part of the Freshwater Future Conference hosted by CIWEM. If you see me having a Power Nap on the train don’t tell anyone 🤫 #CIWEM #environment #water

Yet another great episode of @planetpossible.bsky.social with @piersforster.bsky.social reflecting on COP29. If you've not discovered this podcast with @nikiroach.bsky.social you really should.

Impressive seeing the Blackpool RNLI in action yesterday. What was equally impressive was how big a support crew (also volunteers) turned out to the station in case they were needed & great water safety advice from their shop staff for our son too. #RNLI #WaterSafety #Blackpool

Latest episode of @planetpossible.bsky.social is out now featuring @piersforster.bsky.social - COP29 Debrief and what it means for regions as well as internationally. #COP29 #ClimatChange 🎧 bit.ly/PP_COP29

Great to welcome @piersforster.bsky.social to the next episode of @planetpossible.bsky.social -out later this week. Here’s my big takeaway… #COP29

#Microplastics #PlasticPollution - there is no escape “This is our whole lives that we are breathing them in. So what happens as they accumulate?” #PublicHealth - in a world where #PFAS, #pesticides and other threats are also accumulating - the #CocktailEffect news.sky.com/story/daily-...

The Climate and Nature Bill is dream legislation and we - you and I - have the chance to help make it UK law But what’s so great about it, don’t we have legislation for climate and the environment already? Well... Here are my Top 10 favourite things about the #CANBill

Every week I share good news, not so good news, and something we can do about climate change. This week the topic was COP29, and I had to dig pretty deep. Read (and subscribe, if you want to - it's free!) here:

A glorious weekend of rail travel around Europe & whilst I know there’s still a C footprint, it does make me feel a bit calmer about travel. Yorkshire - Brussels - Bruges - Knokke and back. Now looking at European sleeper trains for the next adventure! #ClimateAdaptation

SuDS in Bruges! Loved seeing what I’m assuming is a rain garden this weekend - also felt appropriate as I had my CIWEM UDG tote bag with me!

I’m interested in the floating ‘sustainable’ ice rink in skating on in Bruges this evening. It’s a synthetic surface-which is being merrily carved up into small pieces of plastic by the blades as we slide around. How much more sustainable is it really?Heads off to google! #IceSkating #ClimateChange

CIWEM urges action on PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ in UK’s water systems... www.watermagazine.co.uk/2024/11/22/c... @alastairchisholm.bsky.social #pfas #water #waterindustry #wastewaterindustry #watermagazine

Given this is all a bit new I thought I’d share some episodes of @planetpossible.bsky.social that you might have missed. We make evergreen content so there’s never a bad time to catch up! If you want the full list head to planetpossible.simplecast.com #Climate #Nature #Water #Podcast

Given the strength of public interest in our environment and how our waters are managed, the latest episode of @planetpossible.bsky.social explores one way people can & are getting involved through #citizenscience. Feat. EA Ruvers Trust & EarthWatch bit.ly/PP_CitizenScience

Excellent short primer for week 2 of #COP29 by @fionaharvey.bsky.social - "The first week has not seen great movement, but nor has the Cop shown signs of falling apart" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I like making connections - so here’s an initial attempt on here! go.bsky.app/JAs7dBB #StarterPack #Water #Climate #Nature #Politics #Policy

Madeira Island, Portugal this morning...🌪️ 📽️ Luz Vieira www.facebook.com/reel/1703561...

If anyone came to see me today, they'd think I'd finally lost it! I've got a TV crew coming early tomorrow to film me get a home ready to flood using stuff I have around the house. If they cancel, I won't be best pleased!
