And here we go - as expected, Reeves has approved a third runway on Heathrow. Will be interesting to see whether key opponents in the cabinet and wider party - esp Ed Miliband and Sadiq Khan- handle this and the wider criticism that will likely come on environmental/climate grounds

Today the government has approved new reservoirs - which has been a key blocker to many housing developments across the country. The last reservoir was built in the UK in 1992 so this is a key step forward in addressing our out-dated nature infrastructure. Although at odds with the wider rhetoric

Reeves announces that developers can 'forget about the bats and newts' if they invest in a nature recovery fund. Essentially legislating nature offsets.
Blaming nature for slow infra development is going to get a lot of people's backs up - especially when the UK is so off course on nature recovery

Recent gov rhetoric on nature is a bit of a shock given their stated aim to tackle the UK's mass nature depletion and crisis. Housing is understandably a priority, but there's concern that nature protection is going to become a scapegoat for why there hasn't been more building

As ESG wilts, could nature investing be set to blossom under a Trump presidency?
While it might be too late for ESG and climate finance to avoid the "woke, liberal agenda" brush, nature could avoid the same fate - with the right communication

Perhaps unsurprising that one of the key topics between Keir Starmer and President Xi today was climate. With the election of Trump and the expected impact this is going to have on the US' direction on sustainability, the UK is inevitably going to need to tap into other relationships on climate.

This a big story which hasn’t had as much pick up as it should. Nissan and other UK car manufacturers urgently lobbying govt to change policy on EVs…say production is at risk with current regime which increasingly penalises them for non-EV manufacture.
NEW w/ @pickardje.bsky.social:
The transport secretary is considering ‘flexibilities’ to help carmakers hit EV targets.
Haigh told @lewisgoodall.bsky.social she was in "listening mode" as Nissan warned jobs could be at risk if changes aren't made.

Chaos today in the European Parliament as the right pushes through amendments to its Deforestation Law. Seems as though many countries will be able to achieve 'no-risk' status, meaning their products will come straight through whilst others will have to prove they're not linked to deforestation

Over night at COP29 the UK also said that it will support a new initiative on illegal deforestation. It's also chucking £100m at BII's new fund, aiming to raise around £500m in private finance for developing countries' transitions. Somewhat against what it suggested the other day on new funding
