This is more evidence that climate change is a massive threat to our food security, farm businesses, and the rural communities they underpin The government must given them better support by restarting vital nature-friendly farming schemes and cancelling tax rises

☀️ It’s time Britain unleashed this novel technology. 👀 Keep your eyes peeled for more from CEN on floating solar.
Floating solar is a brilliantly space efficient, clean energy technology, which strengthens our water and energy security. It's great to see this project proceed in Cumbria. We should be making it even easier to build these projects.

I have said it before and I will say it again: Coastal communities are crying out for genuine economic revival and resilience. Instead, the government will launch yet another funding pot. We can - and must - do better than this. Read my ideas in the link below 👇🌊

Labour is surrendering 640,000 km² of precious marine habitat. "Once this pristine ecosystem is exposed to exploitation, no amount of money or diplomatic regret will bring it back." Read @Blake_MidBeds's thoughts on the dodgy Chagos deal in @ConHome 👇

A much-needed reminder from @Blake_MidBeds about the importance of the Chagos Marine Protected Area. It is one of the largest on Earth and its biodiversity amongst the healthiest. Blake is absolutely right about the great harm this 'deal' could cause to our natural environment.
From @Blake_MidBeds: The betrayal of Labour's Chagos surrender harms our security, our values – and our environment

All agricultural policy must flow from this one truth: food is a private good sold on a private market. Read my latest piece for @CapX, writing in response to @KemiBadenoch's speech at the Emergency Food and Farming Summit 🔗👇

CEN's Climate Programme Manager @ElinorBale 👇 asking Labour where is the Warm Homes Plan?
The Warm Homes Plan keeps being delayed. As I, @AphraBrandreth, and @grahamstuart point out in the @Daily_Express the continued delays is stopping households from protecting their homes against rising bills. To have a more affordable and greener Britain, we need this now!

Not so long ago, the countryside was alive with natural sound. It is now far too quiet. The cacophony of birdsong has been all but silenced, and today @BarryL_Insights draws on W. B. Yeats to note the absence of the once “bee-loud” fields. Make the countryside noisy again. 🐝

CEN's International programme intern on 'How to make COP work again' for @CapX 👇
Very pleased to debut in @CapX talking about the key strength of the COP process: flexibility. This might not be what activist groups want, but COP strikes a balance between climate ambition and diplomatic reality that gets results. Read it here 👇 https://t.co/JQzElbXzbL

Britain is in the grip of a nature-and-housing crisis. This is most acute in our cities, where limited space is leading to skyrocketing rent and house prices. When buildings are finally constructed…
