Current policies make it likely that #globalwarming will exceed 1.5°C during the 21st century & make it harder to limit warming below 2°C. #IPCC's Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action. 👉 bit.ly/SRYRpt23

‘There’s a void, on a subject of huge national and global importance…’ Great piece by ⁦@RowanMoore⁩ The #SAVEMandSOxfordSt case is a real opportunity to bring planning policy in line with UK’s #NetZero commitment - and save megatonnes of CO2 ♻️ theguardian.com/artanddesign…

First Oxford Street M&S, now Euston Tower: don’t pull them down, renovate

Plans to redevelop London’s 36-floor Euston Tower would save 25% of the old building. That’s better than most – but the climate emergency requires a more radical rethink of construction

The absolute audacity of my local water company - running ads trying to pit citizens against each other 😡 we don’t want paddling pool tittle tattle wars, we want a fit-for-purpose water and sewage service - the one that we all pay for but don’t actually get 🤷🏼‍♀️ – at South East, England

WE MUST MOVE TO A #CircularEconomy Excellent article about Down Under, with great references via @ConversationUK theconversation.com/building…

Building activity produces 18% of emissions and a shocking 40% of our landfill waste. We must move...

Our buildings and infrastructure can only become sustainable if the sector shares, leases, reuses, repairs, refurbishes and recycles materials and products. A new report maps out out how to get there.

Wonderful to hear @CityReuseDepot on @BBCRadio4 talking about ReUse. Thanks for the name check for @suezUK and the work that we are doing with @greatermcr. Last year we reused around 600 tonnes of material and gave a 2nd life to 75k items, raising £320k for local charities.
