RT by @CarolineLucas: Very odd for the government to announce an airport expansion against the recommendation of the Climate Change Committee on a day their industrial strategy claims to have green growth at its heart and boasts about UK decarbonisation https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/670cde8692bb81fcdbe7b745/industrial-strategy-green-paper-final.pdf

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

It’s as if none of the work on sustainable economies ever happened. Starmer bangs on about “growth” but growth of what, for whom, at what cost? Not all growth is good & as scientists concluded last week “In a world of finite resources, unlimited growth is a perilous illusion”.

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: Breaching and entering a UN position is a further flagrant violation of international law and Security Council resolution 1701 (2006). Any deliberate attack on peacekeepers is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and resolution 1701.

Such a relief that there’s no climate crisis so these developments can go ahead without concern & without undermining commitments to being the greenest government ….

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.

I'm delighted to see the Climate & Nature Bill, which I first tabled in 2020, will now be given time to progress.

The wealthy landowner fighting a court case to take away people’s ability to wild camp on Dartmoor seems completely lost for words when asked to explain why…
But the

RT by @CarolineLucas: "We have a generation who will never be able to earn enough to have a mortgage, and cannot even afford their rents now" says MP @carla_denyer.
The Bristol MP calls for the Bill to go further. This includes relocation fees for tenants and restrictions on rent increases!

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: This is where the logic of the attempt to ban wild camping ends: picnics become "trespassing".
[2024-10-08 10:44 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!

RT by @CarolineLucas: However much Darwall is paying his legal team, it’s too much if they’re taking duff points like this. Arguing that, under their interpretation of the law, having a picnic on common or access land falls outside the right of recreation is just bizarre.
It would make basic activities enjoyed by swathes of ordinary people in the countryside into unlawful trespass. It also hints what this case is really about: a minority of wealthy landowners trying to roll back access rights & stop the majority of the population enjoying & connecting to the land & the natural world.

Depressing news that Govt may approve bee-killing pesticide despite election promise to ban it - & outrageous that British Sugar has applied to use neonics for 5th year, despite industry commitment to end reliance in 2023. Govt must act to protect bees 🐝
