The pace & scale of #climateaction is insufficient to tackle #climatechange.
In 2018, #IPCC highlighted the scale of the challenge required to keep warming to 1.5°C. 5 years on, the Synthesis Report shows that the challenge has become even greater.

🚨 NEW: Net zero policy tracker
🌱 The government has announced policies to cover 87% of all emissions reductions needed between 2028 & 2032 to meet its own #NetZero targets.
❌ But only 28% of these have policy frameworks in place for delivery 👉 bit.ly/3Fy1goF

Please read; the most important piece I've written. Mass poisoning has suddenly killed off most sea life for 30 miles by the Tees. The govt claims it's natural; ind scientists warn it's manmade. The govt is desperate not to inquire too deeply as its freeport policy is at stake.

On average someone on a prepayment meter is cut off every 10 seconds, according to @CitizensAdvice's new report, out today. Our director of policy @peterwsmith101 says 'It's the definition of misery and it's happening daily in millions of homes across the UK.' #EnergyCrisis

A terrible decision. We face a climate crisis and we must get CO2 emissions down, so why on earth has Michael Gove approved a new coal mine, especially when 85% of its output will be exported? As for steel production, we need to start making the transition to green steel now.
UK government approves first new coal mine in decades despite concerns among Conservative MPs and experts about climate impact bbc.in/3Fyxh0l

85% of this coal is for export. The U.K. steel industry doesn’t need it and is better off importing from responsible countries. The carbon cost is huge. This mine is not compatible with U.K. climate goals. Gove knows all this. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…
