Today, the UK’s Climate Change Committee (CCC) has published its advice on the country’s 7th carbon budget, containing targets to achieve by 2038-2042.
But, you might be wondering, what about the UK’s existing climate targets, which it doesn’t seem to be all that committed to hitting? (1/4)

📢Governments might finally be taking action on forever chemicals📢
French lawmakers have today approved a bill designed to restrict PFAS (forever chemicals) because of their capacity to build up in the environment, and in people’s bodies, and the potential harm they can cause to our health. 1/2

Clearly the play here by President Trump here has been to overload the public with these major moves. So the majority of these do not get sufficient MSM coverage, and fly under the radar.
More than 60 major moves that President Trump and his administration have made in his first 23 days, including executive orders and agency memos, have aligned with proposals in the Project 2025 blueprint, according to a New York Times analysis.
How Trump’s Directives Echo Project 2025
President Trump attempted during his campaign to distance himself from the right-wing blueprint to overhaul the federal government, but many of his administration’s actions so far have mirrored it.

⚠️ New year, new court case to finally put an end to destructive bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). This time against the Dutch govt, which still allows bottom trawlers in the protected Dogger Bank - home to minke whales, puffins & other endangered species.

We’ve just won in court against the Italian authorities, as they had approved a gas project that would threaten species in Italy’s iconic Po Delta, next to a Marine Protected Area.

We’ve won in court against the Italian government over a gas project in Italy
The project would have pumped out hundreds of thousands of barrels of gas from the seabed each day – and put dolphins and turtles in grave danger.
