RT by @CarolineLucas: DYK that most protected areas aren’t actually protected at all?
Our new report shows only 0.9% of the global ocean is completely off limits to destructive human activities.
If governments are serious about protecting the ocean by 2030, they MUST ratify the Global Ocean Treaty NOW

Huge congrats to the amazing

on her new appointment as special envoy for nature. Nature couldn’t have a stronger or more fearless champion. Biodiversity is in freefall & more than ever we need real leadership which she will help deliver 👏

RT by @CarolineLucas: The ban on assisted dying, ostensibly in place to protect people, does nothing of the sort. Assisted deaths still take place but are merely driven behind closed doors or overseas.
Former DPPs, including the PM, agree it is now down to Parliament to act.

RT by @CarolineLucas: COP16 gets underway next week to discuss the world’s nature crisis.
But the UK doesn’t have a nature strategy and is showing up empty-handed.
We have launched a campaign to push nature up the political agenda.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Millionaire business owners urge Rachel Reeves to raise £14bn from rise in capital gains tax. This Budget should equalise capital gains with income tax. Superb research from @IPPR spells out this common sense solution for our economy. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/oct/17/millionaire-business-owners-urge-rachel-reeves-to-raise-14bn-from-rise-in-capital-gains-tax?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

RT by @CarolineLucas: Increasing Capital Gains Tax won’t lead to lower investment, slower growth, or less entrepreneurship.
Julia Davies from @PatMillsUK says raising CGT won’t stop anyone serious about growing their business.

We just need those with the BROADEST shoulders - who also EMIT the most - to play their PART.

RT by @CarolineLucas: It is clear that the far-right Netanyahu government is acting without restraint in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
And yet the UK continues to provide arms to Israel.
I asked the Minister if she recognises the UK's complicity in Israel's war crimes.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Yet another example of how completely bonkers this whole system has become.
@unitedutilities and @stwater awarded a four-star environment rating by the @EnvAgency even through they illegally dumped sewage on 1,374 separate occasions.
HUH?! 🤔

R to @CarolineLucas: Not sure how they could be more clear: “The future of humanity lies in the balance” & we need “an ecological & post-growth economics framework that ensures social justice”. Report should be ringing deafening alarm bells with governments around the world

RT by @CarolineLucas: It's unsettling to hear @Keir_Starmer's deregulation plans today.
Done wrong, this will mean fewer protections for nature when it urgently needs more.
We support growth, we support the energy transition, but not at the expense of the natural world.

RT by @CarolineLucas: BREAKING NEWS
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPeacePrize to the Japanese organisation Nihon Hidankyo. This grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as Hibakusha, is receiving the peace prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again.

RT by @CarolineLucas: Hugely important case in Supreme Court today goes to the heart of right to access nature. Whatever the outcome, Labour govt must champion wild camping in our national parks and bring in new right to roam along Scottish model.

RT by @CarolineLucas: The awesome @RobGMacfarlane speaking at the @Right_2Roam @EveryonesStars rally ‘It’s a tragedy that we’re having to fight against the extinction of access rather than for the extension of access… Labour need to make good on their earlier pledges of a right of responsible access”
[2024-10-08 10:54 UTC]
RT by @CarolineLucas: Fantastic to have cross-party support at our @Right_2Roam @EveryonesStars rally outside Supreme Court: from Labour MP @AndyMacNaeMP, Lib Dem MP @carolinevoaden (who represents part of Dartmoor), & ex-Green MP @CarolineLucas - with more to come!
