✊🏽 Let’s act together against ISDS ✊🏽 Investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) gives corporations huge power, undermines democracy, damages human rights and blocks climate action. This October, join us to take action against ISDS. stopisds.global/en/

Wind and solar have kept UK's bills down and made it less vulnerable to global shocks such as the US-Israel attack on Iran💡 Renewables deliver the goods for: ✅ energy sovereignty ✅ lower bills ✅ reduced climate impacts ✅ clean air
NEW | British wind and solar helped shield billpayers from hikes in gas power prices since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran on 28 Feb 🛡️⚡ Higher wind and solar output cut gas use, saving Britain around £7mn/day in gas purchases compared to the 2021-23 energy crisis 🧵
