1/ If 'humanity is “on the precipice” of shattering Earth’s limits, and will suffer huge costs if we fail to act on biodiversity loss'

Food security is going to be a problem for UK.

£22bn could have gone a long way in the application of #naturebasedsolutions in the UK… I’m not holding my breath for it to materialise from the government, guess we’ll have to raise it another way - dm me if you want to finance our efforts.
What are #NaturebasedSolutions and how can they provide long-term environmental, societal and economic benefits?

Google is no longer claiming to be carbon neutral.
It has all sorts of implications for how companies go about making climate claims, buying carbon credits, and, generally, contributing to the climate fight.

It’s remarkable the level of transparency that is emerging. When institutions step back and the technology is freely available new actors can enter the void - some good some bad. In the struggle to build a more sustainable society for people and planet this phenomenon is core.
Very excited to announce the launch of

River health, landfills, sewage, road run-off, intensive farming, big industry, forever chemicals, abandoned mines, bathing waters, flood risk, protected areas and so much more... 🧵
