@BringFrontsBack There is a perverse incentive in car insurance policies. They prioritize cars sitting on driveways, only a few metres away from the pre-existing position on the road (!) Yet, they fail to consider the flood risk at the local level will increase! @Susannahfisher

Two houses on the same street, both with drives. Yet just one of them reduces flood risk, retards heatwaves, and lights up the neighbourhood with welcoming greenery. We’ve lost millions of front gardens to overpaving in recent decades. We need to reverse that trend urgently.

"...The council should oversee and encourage imaginative conversion of these buildings in city centres, where there are already community resources." Seems like a no brainer to address shortages of housing, rather than paving over precious green belt! @MayorofLondon #nature

Sensible comments here about plans to build on green belt: "Most housing being built now on the green belt is not affordable and very little is social housing.... As in many cities, there are lots of empty shops and offices.." @fionaharvey @guardian https://t.co/B90JxL2uyq

Protecting children from pesticides such as glyphosate should really be the minimum standard that we set to protect young children, who often put their hands in their mouth when they play outside. @MumsnetTowers @HPUKParents @parents4futureG @PCRM

Did you know harmful pesticides are being sprayed on children's playgrounds in the UK? Please sign and share this petition I set up in a person capacity, calling for this to be banned: https://t.co/qh0Sfd00k2 @MayorofLondon @TonyJuniper @natalieben @CarolineLucas

There is no escape on this #PoisonedPlanet. "Pesticides are ubiquitous, not only in agricultural areas but also in environments far from crop fields". And we're just starting to grasp implications for #PublicHealth https://t.co/aUYGymLZcQ

Theme park left abandoned and 'frozen in time' where Orca whales still alive left to rot Killer whales Wikie, 23, and her 11-year-old son Keijo, who have spent their whole lives in captivity, have been left inside their crumbling tank five months after the closure of their home.

New stat from @FAO has huge implications for global food security. Only 60% of global #fish stocks are within biologically sustainable levels - a huge drop from 90 percent in 1974. https://t.co/a7VsQgCwMG @MaximoTorero @FAOclimate

Paving over front gardens for driveways has led to a huge loss of front gardens. It may reduce car insurance premiums slight - but increases flood risk. Could the incentive be changed? #floodrisk @NatParkCityFdn @MayorofLondon @theCCCuk @energyukceo https://t.co/FG0NfpEsXT

Worrying news here. Downing Street has vetoed release of an assessment that says the loss of the Amazon ecosystem could drive up food inflation as well as lead to mass migration. #natureloss #collapse #inflation #foodsecurity https://t.co/eaaN4z6ex9

Thanks @ASteiner and @fionaharvey for a very clear analysis and starting a much needed discussion. This problem can only be tackled by a strong and broad political movement putting also development and climate on the agenda as priorities. @_HWright

In 2025, the World Food Programme (WFP) faces a severe funding shortfall, with projected resources dropping by 34%. Governments like the UK recently cut aid budgets. These aid cuts had real impacts on #hunger #starvation #lives. But who decided? https://t.co/V9sZxnq36i

Extremely timely comments. Higher defence spending is pointless without climate aid, says UN chief “The more you restrict your ability to act by simply focusing on what’s happening inside your country, the more vulnerable you become" https://t.co/42qfIaRYkJ

Brazil’s Soy Moratorium, a key pact credited with curbing Amazon deforestation, is under threat after regulators moved to suspend it. A judge has paused the move—for now. My AP story:

That is not to say the impacts of climate change at 3C are not extremely serious/catastrophic in many places, and could well trigger "tipping points" in the climate system - but we should remind ourselves how far the world has come once in a while - and that the #EnergyTransition

Terrified piglets hit in face & kicked across floor in farm scandal @DailyMail “Cranswick called behaviour a ‘lapse’ in welfare standards & suspended a handful of staff, today’s revelations suggest cruelty is endemic” #unacceptable @ciwf https://t.co/c9ZYUpGWnB via @DailyMail

Important & pivotal point made by Susannah Fisher early on in her new book: "...this story is not all doom and gloom. If I had been writing this book a few years ago I might have talked more about the highest-emission scenarios and painted a picture of an apocalyptic desert

The use of dogs in chemical research is beyond me hugely cruel & totally unnecessary
