💚 Thank you to @alexsobel for championing the need for science-led, people-powered action on climate and nature!. 🐝 We need the #CANBill more than ever. 📢 Join me and @zerohour_uk and take action in your constituency now.
Today I tabled the Climate and Nature Bill in Parliament. This #CANBill replaces the previous #CEEBill thanks to @zerohour_uk for their support.

It's only taken me a year to catch up on this tweet from @emilyveg (i've not been on X much!) but it's still well worth sharing 🙌🏾.

It's also about how universities can and should make bold decisions, for #climatejustice and a #fossilfreerevolution. It's out now in @timeshighered (it's behind a 'wall' but you just need to register for free to read).
