Yesterday in the House of Commons we passed the 2nd Reading of the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdictions Bill

A long title for
But a Vital Bill

A clear sighted joint-statement today from the Secretaries of State today on Nature & Climate.
And a big commitment to sort out the financial drivers of deforestation.

Commemorating the London Bombings at St Paul’s this morning on the 20th Anniversary of that terrible day. Praying for the families and all those affected and for the safety of our great city.

I had the honour to give the keynote at the launch of the Mexico Parliament’s International Conservation Caucus, who have just secured Mexico’s ratification of the Global Oceans Treaty.
Congratulations Mexico!
Come on U.K. Let’s follow Mexico!

Proud to support the App Drivers and Couriers in their fight for fair treatment.

Kyoto.
Go visit.
The place
And
The Play.

"An electric, hilarious and roller-coaster portrayal of the first-ever climate change agreement negotiations, Kyoto is a play that grabs you by the lapels and keeps shaking you."

Back home late, but still in time to light a candle on this Day of Remembrance.

Each representing a life and dreams extinguished.

Each exhorting us to be kinder, gentler, and more understanding of others.

Staggering to find a Green Party MP undermining the constructive, cross-party agreement on the Climate and Nature Bill.

I went on to argue against the right wing propaganda — which I did.
Question is, why was someone like you watching it?

Today I was saddened to hear of the passing of Manmohan Singh. One of India’s most distinguished economists and twice Prime Minister. His economic reforms laid the foundation of the superpower that is modern India yet every time I met him what impressed me was his gentle humility.
RIP.

Pleased that my very first post on SkyBlue is about the need for a GCSE in Natural History.
