Great turnout for our seminar on decarbonising domestic heating, so we can combat the cost of living crisis while also combating climate change
🗣️Our GM Policy Hub seminar on decarbonising domestic heating is underway! @UoMPolicy co-director and event chair Professor Maria Sharmina welcomes attendees and introduces the seminar topic @UoMSciEng @greatermcr
Really proud to be launching our new Catering for Everyone report which calls on all public sector institutions - schools, hospitals, councils - to provide at least one vegan option on menus at all times. Find out more below ⬇️
Breaking news! Our landmark report, based on Freedom of Information requests, sheds light on which UK councils are (and those that aren’t) providing vegan options and prioritising sustainability in their catering decisions.
Read our press release here: vegansociety.com/uk-councils…
ALT Text reads: Vegan Society research finds a quarter of UK councils fail to recognise their responsibility to cater to vegans. Image of gloved hands handling vegan food.

NEW: 85 people in Arizona suffered severe burns from contact with pavements heated up to 180F (82C). 7 of them died. In total, 257 people had underlying cause of death listed as "exposure to excessive natural heat".
This is not a forecast for 50 years time, it’s happening today.
No party can claim to be credible on climate change while opening up new oil & gas fields. This announcement from Labour should be welcomed, & they should be encouraged to stand up to the usual suspects who want to delay our transition to a sustainable planet.
NEW: 139 orgs including the RSPB, Women's Institute and the CPRE have written to Labour in support of their plan to ban new oil & gas projects.
Labour must now outline a clear path to support workers transition from fossil fuels to good, green jobs.

Great that the IPCC report was on Goggle Box but the bit that stuck with me was ‘wouldn’t it be great if in 20 years’ time we were watching the news and they said “due to our actions 20 years ago Earth is saved”’ It’s the most motivating framing I’ve heard in a long time.
Congratulations to my friend Amna - should I say doctor Kaleem - completing her PhD in counter extremism 🎓

Local councils are chronically underfunded with serious consequences on local services especially public transport. Birmingham shows one of the many reasons we need real, effective clean air zones in places like Sheffield. Imagine what £50m could do for our busses?
Clean Air Zone is expected to make £50m for Birmingham city council and is more than predicted

Think Tank @e3g setting out the only credible path through the Cost of Gas Crisis: insulating our homes to make them use less gas usage, meaning less influence for the Kremlin, & fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
From next April, we're set for a fuel poverty emergency - with 11mn homes at risk if energy bills soar to over £4k.
Today, @E3G has published options for short & medium-term solutions to protect households from volatile gas prices🏡🧵
