Fun fact ahead of Britians state visit with Germany the first in 27 years. Did you know President Von De Lyon of the European Union is German. 🇩🇪🇬🇧 🍀

We're in a national emergency, but we're not talking or acting as if we are. This dangerous disconnect is why we convened the @nebriefing.bsky.social. Our goal was to reset the national conversation on the climate and nature crises, cutting through the sea of misinformation holding us back. ⬇️

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is absolutely the right choice for the environment…really great read.

There is no alternative than to follow the law of physics and lead with climate action at the forefront of everything we do and decision we make. The UK must lead the international judiciary systems and pave the way for a physical court for the environment. @thecccuk.bsky.social

Keep up the great work and fight for climate change Mike.

Proud to have been able to connect the First Daughter and family of the United States with Her Majesty Queen Consort Camilla on her visit to York and Ebor earlier this year. 🍀

Interesting short documentary on wildlife conservation in Congo and important words from rangers on the power to change and ability to restore biodiversity. Great OOH campaign too on the illegal ivory trade.

Sad to read that Wales is losing all its wildlife due to habitat loss human destruction.

Palestine’s laws are misogynistic & discriminatory against minorities do not sympathise with a state propped up by other states & funders of Islamic terrorism it’s laws & ideology deserve no influence on the streets of the United Kingdom anyone promoting it should be arrested & prosecuted.

Great to see strong leadership from the EU at @cop30brazil.bsky.social

Congratulations President Catherine another historic milestone for the women of Ireland. president.ie/en/diary/det...

Great to see UK leadership at @cop30brazil.bsky.social It’s still a shame Britian’s public & corporate sector still spend millions in & across its services despite having enviro-teams on single use plastics & non-recyclable PVC that’s destroying the planet’s marine life & underwater ecosystems.

“COP30 needs to move us faster to a phase-out from fossil fuels.” As negotiations in Belém enter the final stages, Mary Robinson calls on leaders to commit to a clear roadmap for a just, orderly and equitable transition.

It was great to see Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband advocating for multilateralism in an increasingly volatile world at @cop30brazil.bsky.social

A great charity led by a brilliant Princess.

Exciting for Morocco, it’s vital the UN’s Interpol’s environmental unit gets as much support as possible to tackle the illegal wildlife & environmental crime crisis globally & maintain trust in our international environmental crime fighting system, keep up the great work General Secretary Valdecy.

I’m proud to have launched the first ever Climate Commission in Wakefield & five towns delivering sustainable growth & tackling the planets greatest challenges delivering innovative solutions, research & concepts that will help restore biodiversity for decades to come inline with the CC Act 2008. 🌳

Sport is a human right and the ability to practice sport should be protected under international law under all and any circumstances no individual or institution should be able to take there love for sport from another.

www.olympics.com/ioc/olympic-... it’s so impressive what Thomas Bach’s team have done for sustainability and sport.

69% of our global wildlife populations are in decline. The illegal wildlife trade is now worth £23b worldwide 15+ million hectares of trees are destroyed globally each year that remove toxic emissions from our atmosphere and provide homes to wildlife.

Mass PVC is still in circulation across both the public and private sector breaching the Climate Change Act 2008, the UK government must do more to regulate PVC usage. Apple did it under Steve Jobs 17+ years ago and delivered a more sustainable profitable organisation that was commended globally.

#COP30 didn't deliver the results needed. Major emitters have blocked a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels. Yet, a majority of countries remain committed to move forward. Read Elders' responses in full here: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

The Elders met Ed Miliband at #COP30 to discuss the UK’s crucial role in pushing for ambitious global climate action. As a historic emitter and global leader, the UK must help accelerate a just transition and galvanise support for vulnerable communities.

In 2006 Steve Jobs pledged to remove all PVC plastic from the IPhone, in 2008 he did just that, Apple which stands today as one of the largest companies in the world turning over trillions of USD, the move saw Steve Jobs commended on the world stage as one of the first ever “green tech companies”. 🌳

Um Aba’s Efo Uzo! I’ve written a short Children’s story-book to inspire future generations to protect the last remaining Cross-River Gorilla populations with less than 200 left in the wild in Cross-River Nigeria it’s vital we raise awareness about the kings of the jungle. Want to read it? 🌴🌳🎋🪾🏝️

The UK played a clear role in supporting the best possible outcomes at a challenging time from this COP. There is now the opportunity for the UK to support much wider global climate progress....

More incredible shots of female leaders in action and why we need a female Director-General of the United Nations to restore global peace, preserve the planet and promote multilateralism. @theelders.bsky.social @cop30brazil.bsky.social @thecccuk.bsky.social @potus46archive.bsky.social

It was great all those years ago talking to Mrs Robinson via the IBA to discuss multilateralism, global pandemics & how governments should handle them in future it’s been too long… what a great photo it reminds us that our human rights BAME, Women’s, minorities must be defended and respected.

Great to see a growing community including Mel B and so many other incredible passionate Yorkshire people.
