Climate action is about making a difference and creating hope. Here’s my daughter making waves and protecting our precious oceans! 💚

🎉 SUCCESS! 🎉 The court agrees the decision to grant new oil & gas licences in protected areas needs more scrutiny. We’ve been given permission to proceed our case! Next year we’ll be back in court to argue why the licences were granted unlawfully. Big Oil, we're coming for you.

We need a new vision for health! Starting with a healthy diet in our schools and hospitals gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

This another great piece of work by RCPCH emphasising the impact of air pollution on children and what every health professional, parent and citizen needs to know.

Far too often and for far too long, the needs of our children and young people have been overlooked by national policymakers. Today we publish our blueprint for transforming child health services in England. 🧵#RCPCHBlueprint

This is what we are marching. This future doctor needs clean air now and a future!

Time for health professionals to explain the impact of air pollution and climate change to the public.

This makes me sad. If all health professionals could stand beside their Colleges, RCN and GMC and talk about the climate and health crisis together it would have such power rather than the current division which plays into the hands of those who would prefer us to stay quiet.

BREAKING 🚨 Govt has announced 31 NEW oil & gas licences🤯 21 of those are INSIDE our marine protected areas 🤯🤯☠️ HOW is this protection? Rigs & exploration kill wildlife, destroy habitats & pollute our seas, they have NO place in ocean havens. RT to stop this being buried

how are we going to explain this travesty to our children? More oil and gas exploration, more destruction of our precious marine environment, more climate change, more health impacts

"Given the evidence on climate change and its health impacts, we strongly believe peaceful protest should not be viewed as condemnable professional misconduct – but as commendable public health advocacy." Our statement on the MPTS case of Dr Sarah Benn dauk.org/news/2024/04/1…

So pleased to have healthy fruit and veg outside the hospital ⁦@SFHFT⁩ again! One step closer to healthy plant based diet for patients, staff and visitors.!

2000 spills in UK waters since 2011 including 308 tonnes of oil straight into marine 'protected' areas. Time for an end to this madness! theferret.scot/north-sea-oil-…

Surfer, swimmer, paddler or gaze-at-the-waves-er? I don't need to tell you to love the ocean. But we *do* need to tell our MPs to protect it and kick Big Oil our of our seas. 🌊🐬🐳🐟

The climate crisis is a health crisis. Protecting our seas from oil and gas extraction and protecting our marine life is an essential part of addressing the threat to human health and our children’s future.

Soon there will be a general election and, as part of our newly launched campaign, children have something to say. #ChildrenAtTheTable childrenatthetable.org.uk
