Framing the forestry story as a key part of the battle against climate change will be key to winning over public opinion. Wood’s ability to sequester &amp; store carbon is impressive plus it can substitute for carbon intensive alternatives eg concrete &amp; steel. @TimberDevUK @CEIBois

As a single oneoff action insulating your loft must be one of the most significant climate actions you can take. But to maximise its climate impact you need to use a nature based material that stores carbon eg wood fibre, hemp, mycelium. Mineral wool, polystyrene stores no carbon

There is a growing body of evidence that if planted astutely in an agroforestry setting then 10% tree cover on a farm will not result in reduced food production. It will boost biodiversity &amp; production of woody biomass see @Farm3Dwithtrees &amp; jigsawfarms.com.au/ @Agroforestry t.co/JBxq04fM1r
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Chris Jones: Weirdly that 10% if spread across the piece would achieve the tree numbers target and making grazing easier to manage and better ecological function all round. It's as if Bangor had not spent 40 years researching, trialling and demonstrating in Wales.

This is why the net-zero carbon target needs to be reached by 2050 - earlier if possible. Otherwise it get's worse, a lot worse.

There is no such thing as "net-zero concrete" which may explain why I cannot find anything on their website to substantiate this claim. Sure, there are 'less worse' concretes but a concrete that somehow has zero CO2 emissions is a false claim. @CEMEX where is your evidence? n.respublicae.eu/CEMEX/status/
