It was a pleasure to be representing students and the @UniofExeter @ExeterGuild today. These opportunities to connect with amazing leaders in the education sector, most of whom are taking on climate & sustainability voluntarily, are invaluable.

At present, the first solution we all have to advocate for is an end to new oil & gas - we must be demanding turning off the taps to the main driver of the climate emergency. We cannot just look to our government to lead the way - Universities have an obligation to lead the way.

The question comes down to, who is most affected, and who has the power to make the decisions?

Younger people will have to deal with the consequences of climate change for the longest - by the time Iโ€™m 50, between 1-3 billion people will be living outside conditions for human survival (Lenton et al. 2020).

Disability, race and gender are all factors affecting the ability of students & staff to have a seat and voice at the table. We have to do all this work at once.

But we cannot let the urgency of the situation be an excuse for exclusion and replicating the same systemic inequalities & attitudes that led us to this crisis. We need leaders to engage with the climate & environmental crises on an emotional human level. That requires courage.

Every role, every sector, every degree must by necessity now incorporate and reflect the urgency of the climate crisis. This is not a niche issue - it is literally life or deathโ€ฆ

Shell's announcement today that it will increase fossil fuel production in the short term while targeting net-zero emissions by 2050 is โ€œscientifically incoherentโ€, @JamesGDyke tells @MadeleineCuff in @newscientist. https://t.co/ULMThJqj7V

Like its rival BP, Shell claims it is committed to reaching net zero by 2050 despite planning to increase its output this decade, but experts say this doesnโ€™t add up

can't wait for the tories to try and arrest flash floods, collapsed railways, melting roads etc for causing 'more than a minor hindrance' to the lives of citizens as climate change driven by fossil fuel use they refuse to legislate against continues to create extreme weather
