🌎 On 24 January, we made the Government sit up and listen to the urgent need for science-led legislation on climate and nature. But talk is cheap, we now need action. 🐝 Take a look at what’s next for the Climate and Nature Bill campaign. 👉 #CANBill 🧵

🌹 Clive Lewis MP: “Regardless of the motivation, Labour has crossed the Rubicon. Approving #Heathrow expansion is an irreversible break with our pre-election pledges. In 2021, @RachelReevesMP stood in front of the Labour party conference and declared that she would be the “first-ever green chancellor”. Now, Labour is accused of obstructing the #CANBill and abandoning its ambitious decarbonisation plans. The rapid turnaround is striking.”
Recent Government announcements raise a fundamental question: whose growth are we talking about? Read my article for @guardian here.

📢 @GeorgeMonbiot: “In a spectacular act of despoliation, @Keir_Starmer sank the Climate & Nature Bill—whose purpose was to bring government policy into line with the UK’s international commitments. Labour ordered its MPs to talk the #CANBill out of time—and threatened to withdraw the whip from those who supported it.”
Did you vote for these acts of economic insanity & ecological vandalism? Why is our Government at war with the natural word that sustains us? How is @SteveReedMP @DefraGovUK meant to deliver without the water, soil, bats & newts that enable growth?

@NEUnion ☝️ “This was an opportunity to rise to the greatest challenge we face, but instead, the ‘can’ has been kicked down the road. @NEUnion will continue to argue for real commitments to meet legally binding targets on climate change and nature.” #CANBill @DanielKebedeNEU

👏 This historic victory means that #Rosebank cannot go ahead without accounting for its enormous climate harm—and that the age of governments approving new drilling sites, by ignoring their climate impacts, is over. The courts agree that Rosebank and #Jackdaw are unlawful—and their full climate impacts must now be properly considered. @stopcambo @toritsui @domipalmer
Huge victory for common sense. There can be no new oil and gas developments if we are to stay within safe climate limits - govt must now refuse consent for the 13 other oil and gas drilling projects licensed by the previous govt

Like the @CBD_COP15 Global Biodiversity Framework, Steve?
Ministers are often boxed-in on pro growth decisions by past EU law retained in UK law, or from benign sounding international treaties, both of which are then gold plated due to risk of legal challenge.

“What we do this afternoon, what do we do tomorrow, what legislation is brought in next week. No Government Ministers are taking the Paris Agreement seriously.” 👇
Short presentation (< 15mins) on just how vanishingly small are our remaining carbon budgets for 1.5 & 2°C, globally & when downscaled to wealthy industrialised nations. In a handful of years our Paris 2°C commitment will go the way same way as has 1.5°C.

“Nature underpins everything, but we stand at a moment in history when nature needs us to defend it. Without nature there is no economy, no food, no health and no society. We human beings are not merely observers of nature, we are an integral part of it, and our future depends on protecting it. That is why this Government will begin the work of saving it.” Steve Reed MP. July 2024.
"We are reducing the environmental requirements placed on developers when they pay into a nature restoration fund... they can focus on getting things built and stop worrying about the bats and the newts," Chancellor Rachel Reeves says Follow live

Now’s the time to lock the science into law, and deliver a legally-binding, joined-up strategy for climate, nature and people. If you agree, join our movement 👉
