The govt is agreeing a new strategy with BII, so it’s an important time to shine a light on when it is not living up to its promise to deliver climate aid

The company behind Rosebank has funded a computer game aimed at UK school children as young as 7, promoting the idea that fossil fuels can be part of a future energy mix.
