Sweden exports more timber to the UK than to any other country in the world. Plenty of opportunity to increase UK timber production without decreasing food production with agroforestry being central to this approach.
RT @andyheald: Wonder if Swedish TV is doing reports on UK timber shortages ?
UK imported circa £2.7 billion of sawn softwood in 2021.
35% of that from Sweden, nearly £1 billion worth. https://cdn.forestresearch.gov.uk/2022/09/Ch3_Trade_2022.pdf

Where’s the nature based insulation material in my local DIY store? We’re missing a significant solution to climate change.

RT @PaulBrandITV: Broadcast union @bectu, which represents thousands of BBC staff, says Lineker decision is “deeply concerning”, a “bow to political pressure” and “double standards” compared to the appointment of Richard Sharp.

Could be disquiet among BBC staff behind the camera as well as on it.

A hugely important role to fill as the highly impressive Lord Deben stands down.
RT @ChiefExecCCC: The time has come to find a new Chair for @theCCCuk

Lord Deben steps down at the end of June - applications are open for his replacement.

This is a public appointment for one of the best roles in public life. It deserves the most diverse field of talent.

@CEMEX “30-70%” that’s rather a wide range. Which is it 30%? Or 70%? Surely you know. And either way, what then is the amount of embodied carbon? Again you must know. A 50% reduction of a very big number still leaves a very big footprint.

No such thing as 'low carbon concrete'. I guess they mean 'less worse concrete'.
RT @concretecentre: It’s the final day at @FuturebuildNow. Visit us on K50 and pick up copies of the latest guidance, see real-life examples of the innovations available for low carbon concrete and speak to technical staff who can answer specific queries on the latest advancements.

Good news. UK housebuilder Barratt is to open a new timber frame factory in the East Midlands as it aims to scale up its offsite construction to meet the Future Homes Standard in 2025 & be carbon neutral by 2030. https://www.house-builder.co.uk/news/barratt-open-new-timber-frame-factory/ @TimberDevUK @CEIBois @Barrattplc

@WHurst1 Good to see. Where the City of London goes let's hope others follow asap. Demolition during a climate crisis makes no sense given 11% of carbon emissions are generated by construction. Refurbishment can look great:
