At today’s National Emergency Briefing, Chris Packham delivered a clear message: act now. Decision-makers must step up and tackle the climate crisis before it’s too late. Add your signature to the open letter to Keir Starmer. #climatecrisis #neb2025 #netzero www.nebriefing.org/open-letter-keir

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

As renewables eat into the energy market + EVs reduce demand for petrol, fossil fuel firms aim to step up production of plastics + chemicals made from oil + gas. By mid-century, half of growth in demand for oil is predicted to come from making more plastic + chemicals. A must read 👇🏾

Thank you all who emailed their MP about protecting nature in the #PIB. We're disappointed that MPs didn't vote the way we hoped but we’re not giving up. Debates continue and we’re urging MPs to make the right decision for nature. Please share & sign the e-action buff.ly/eDrWPi9 📸Russell Savory

Awful to see this plastic pollution at Rye Harbour. Devastating.

We need to ensure our elected officials are acting on the best intelligence when it comes to tackling the climate crisis . It's why I'm opening the National Emergency Briefing on 27 November , ensure your MP is attending at nebriefing.org

This is exactly what we’ve been saying for months and have the evidence to back it up. Unlike the government who have zero evidence or justification for their approach. They are basically destroying what’s left of our wildlife to line the pockets of the big housing companies.

BY ME at #HouseMagazine at #PoliticsHome The #PlanningAndInfrastructureBill #PiB is a microcosm of where #Labour is getting it wrong... www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

If you’re not a member of the @greenparty.org.uk yet why not? Fantastic interview from @zackpolanski.bsky.social showing just how sensible Green Party policies are - and what a brilliant leader Zack is 💚💪🌱 making hope normal again.

I’ve just announced I’ll be leading a National Emergency Briefing on 27 November . At a time when climate is in free fall on the political agenda , it’s vital our leaders realise what is at stake if we do not accelerate a just , green transition for all . @nebriefing.bsky.social 🇬🇧

Hundreds of MPs and peers are already signed up to attend to hear from scientists , economists and security experts – is your MP attending ? Check now at nebriefing.org #NEB2025 🇬🇧

The #PlanningBill is in its final days in the Lords. This is the last real chance to make sure England’s planning system helps – not harms – nature. 🌿 We’re backing key amendments to put promises into law and secure nature’s place in planning. 🔗 wcl.org.uk/planning-and...

89% of people around the world want their governments to act faster on the #climatecrisis But while being in the majority, most people mistakenly think they are in a minority The #89%project wants to know why climate action matters to you 👇 89percent.org/tell-us-your... 1/2

Great to feature on BBC Panorama tonight, exploring the complexity of the housing crisis. And, no, nature isn’t the biggest issue! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis....

This what we’re up against. Our essential natural world (and us who wish to defend it) portrayed as traitors and blockers. Oh MHCLG you’ve got this so wrong. I’ll say it again NATURE IS NOT THE REASON FOR THE HOUSING CRISIS - fix what’s really wrong and stop blaming wildlife for your failures.

Don’t want to gloat but 🙄

Planning and Infrastructure Bill: Nature at a Crossroads in the Lords www.hiwwt.org.uk/blog/debbie-...

Make no mistake, this is a centralising Govt taking power&decision making away from people And these shambolic amendments to #PlanningBill, tabled last minute, build on months of lies from #RachelReeves pathetically scapegoating nature for a struggling economy.. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We need to address the real underlying causes of biodiversity decline, which are disconnection from and domination over nature, increasing concentration of power and wealth, prioritisation of short-term, individual, and material gains. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

The planning and infrastructure bill being rammed through parliament is a full-spectrum assault on nature protection. Rushed out, without consultation or evidence, under an “urgent measures” procedure, usually reserved for defence or public health emergency. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We are being sold a false story that nature is the enemy. That newts, bats, snails and spiders are somehow responsible for the so-called housing crisis and a blocker to economic growth. This is a deliberate lie - using a cynically chosen group of species that could be found in a witches cauldron.

'It will not be possible to carry on business as usual for the next 20 years,' says MBL. Argues it is highly possible business as usual no longer possible and we have really significant and disruptive change globally and within the UK within the next 10 years.

Make it visible then before the Labour Anti Nature Party take the road to extinction

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now. Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

The hope that quashing environmental protection will kickstart UK building is a derided fallacy. Building stops when ppl can’t afford houses: “…the market remains uncertain…” Taylor Wimpey “…we saw build costs increase by around 33%… house price inflation (is) flat.” Persimmon It’s Not Newts!

It's now clear that the gov't are NOT proposing to repeal the Protected Landscapes duty 🙌 A huge thank you to the more than 200 charities, businesses & organisations who joined us in writing to Keir Starmer 💚 Now to focus on improving our Protected Landscapes... www.cnp.org.uk/news/plans-t...

Last-minute changes to the Planning Bill are being rushed through, in a piecemeal way🚨 Changes must guarantee access to environmental justice & put ambitious nature recovery at the heart of planning🌱 This is the way to restore nature & deliver the homes we need🏘️ Read more via @endsreport.com👇

What incredible news to inspire us as Parliament returns from conference season - the Green Party has officially reached 100,000 members! The Green surge is here, and we're not slowing down. Join today to make a fairer, greener future for all. join.greenparty.org.uk

🚨 URGENT: Earth has reached its first catastrophic tipping point linked to greenhouse gas emissions, with warm water coral reefs now facing a long-term decline, new research shows 🪸💔 No more delays. We MUST fairly transition to a renewable future! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Jubb explains there's always been a balance between farming + river health, but the growing number of intensive chicken farms in the area has tipped that balance so that the river is losing out, fish are losing out, wildlife is losing out, businesses that rely on a thriving river are losing out:

Growth won’t solve the planetary crisis or the social crisis because these things are not profitable to capitalism. Clear sighted analysis as always from @jasonhickel.bsky.social

Meeting one of my heroes this weekend was a huge privilege. @carolinelucas.bsky.social has always spoke truth to power, standing up for what’s right and inspiring others, including me, to try to do the same - within whatever sphere of influence we have.

Tickets are going fast - about 20 left! We are launching our new strategy and it’s bold! Investing in nature is good for the economy and our health. What’s not to like? Come and be inspired. There is hope in this broken world. #RewildingHope #NatureRecovery #ClimateHope #Bold #Change #Hope

Hey, folks, please check out the new Drawdown Explorer. It’s the world’s leading resource for science-backed climate solutions. And now it provides the most up-to-date, localized, actionable intelligence to help scale these solutions out in the world. Drawdown.org/explorer

🤬 Conservatives pledge to scrap the world leading Climate Change Act. 😰 Nature is bearing the brunt of climate impact, leading to ecosystem breakdown. 🌱 Nature recovery is a solution to climate breakdown (alongside renewables of course). ❓What are they thinking?
