These elections have shown pro-environment parties and mayors who made net zero central to their campaigns made significant gains. Reform have won 2 council seats out of 2500. Time to recognise the net zero row back and kowtowing to an extreme fringe was a strategic disaster
As the dust settles on the count for London Mayor, much of the political commentary and media coverage we have seen since Uxbridge - that British people want to ditch climate and air quality ambition - has been proven totally out of touch by an 11% majority for @SadiqKhan 🧵
📣LCEF is going to Labour Party Conference! We are excited to be rolling out a full programme of events at #LAB24 which will involve plenty of opportunities for partnership and speakers. If you are interested in working with us at conference please email [email protected]
We did some analysis looking at the potential impact of the wet winter on the harvests of key crops We estimated a net decline of 4m tonnes, driven by a 26.5% drop in the wheat harvest All based on @DefraGovUK yield data & @TheAHDB crop area forecasts Here’s a thread on it 🧵

So great to hear @wesstreeting talking about importance of nature in supporting mental and public health for a future Labour government. Even better: front benchers talking about addressing these complex issues across departments through the mission-led approach.

A crucial cross-departmental partnership. Better access to nature and green spaces for everyone across society has to be a core Labour offer. There's no social justice without access for all. Access to green spaces is essential for our health and wellbeing.

Our natural world is great for our health and wellbeing. Labour's mission-driven approach will mobilise every arm of government to improve the health of our country. Looking forward to working with @SteveReedMP on improving mental health by providing better access to nature 👇🏻

Fantastic stuff here from Steve on the importance of protecting nature. Great that the importance of nature bring recognised in Labour's missions, underpinning the UKs economy.

Crucial work from @GFI_green. Nature is our most precious asset and, unsurprisingly, destroying it is bad for our prosperity and our economy. A 12% GDP loss by 2030s is catastrophic and would undermine Labour's central mission on the economy. The case for bold action is clear.

Extraordinary work by the @GFI_green today shows that damage to nature is slowing the UK economy and could lead to a 12% reduction in GDP - that's £150-£300bn - as early as the 2030s. All political parties serious about the economy must invest and regulate to #RestoreNatureNow.
A 'just transition' in farming and food is possible and essential. Blog by me on the vital need for deeper work on food and farming futures and some policy and other recommendations wildlifetrusts.org/blog/vicki-hir…
📢Harm to nature and wildlife is the biggest climate change concern for the British public - and they will vote accordingly📢 That's according to #BritainTalksClimate out today from @ClimateOutreach and @Moreincommon_ - lots more detail below. climateoutreach.org/britain-talks-…
I know many of you will be shocked, but this piece by Matt Ridley in the @Telegraph on solar farms has quite a lot wrong with it Let’s start with the impact on farming. Getting to the target of 70GW will take ~0.4-0.7% of English farmland Not the ‘5-10%’ Ridley claims…
Great to see a strong set of manifesto proposals right across the supply chain from @nffn for @labour to consider. It's vital we see policies that allow our farmers to build resilient farm businesses now and into the future.
📢 Today we unveil our 2024 manifesto 📢 We are calling for the next UK government to support a secure food and farming system that delivers for all 🌾 Read our seven key asks ➡️ ow.ly/whNV50R23QH #generalelection2024 #2024manifesto #FieldOfView

Jemima Hartshorn, founder/ director of Mums for Lungs said: “It is clear - Londoners want clean air for healthy kids. Winning a historic third term comes with a strong brief for Sadiq: Continue reducing air pollution for all of us”
These elections have shown pro-environment parties and mayors who made net zero central to their campaigns made significant gains. Reform have won 2 council seats out of 2500. Time to recognise the net zero row back and kowtowing to an extreme fringe was a strategic disaster
Polling tables will be available soon and thank you to @SteveAkehurst as always for running the data.
Likewise, voters did not align themselves with Hall on key issues such as tackling climate change (a top issue for 22% of voters) and air quality (19% of voters). On a scale of these issues, voters were much more likely to place themselves closer to Khan than Hall.
As the dust settles on the count for London Mayor, much of the political commentary and media coverage we have seen since Uxbridge - that British people want to ditch climate and air quality ambition - has been proven totally out of touch by an 11% majority for @SadiqKhan 🧵
Instead, voters prioritised lowering the cost of living, reducing crime, and increasing affordable housing. All issues that Khan focussed on throughout his campaign.
First off, Susan Hall made scrapping ULEZ a key pledge of her campaign, framing the election as a referendum on the Mayor’s delivery. But 71% of voters did not list ULEZ as a top three voting issue for them. onlondon.co.uk/susan-hall-say…

Highly significant, it means a new Govt will have to deliver a new climate plan, likely within six months (deadline May '25), intersections with 7th Carbon Budget advice (Feb), 1st budget (March), 2035 NDC (ahead of COP30 in Dec 25), and as Gov likely heads into new 3 yr CSR.
💥 COURT WIN 💥 The High Court has now told the UK government not once, but twice, that its climate strategy is not fit-for-purpose, and is therefore unlawful. Full story here: clientearth.org/latest/news/we…
Licensing oil & gas in Marine Protected Areas is wholly at odds with promises to protect our ocean & a kick in the teeth for #climatechange mitigation. Parliament has a chance to stop #FossilFuels industry in the Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill in a few weeks. Surely it must.
21 licenses for oil & gas drilling have been granted in Marine Protected Areas - some of our most precious ocean sites🛢️ Our ocean needs more protection, not less if Government is to meet its target to protect 30% of it for nature by 2030⌛️ nstauthority.co.uk/media/5jajkdt2…
The Conservatives crashed the economy and made working people pay the price. The country is crying out for change and voters are backing Keir Starmer’s changed Labour Party to make it happen.

@Brexit_Mistake @OliverBullough Applying for ‘bathing status’ simply means the authorities have to test the water quality and inform the public regularly of results, so people know if and when it’s safe - or not - to swim.
