Lang Banks, WWF

Throughly enjoyed the opportunity to catch up for a natter with football writer @ScottBurns75 before the football on Saturday. Can confirm he doesn't reveal his sources and (mostly) doesn't write the headlines. You can read his scribbles most days in @Daily_Record ✍️

A FANTASTIC JOB OPPORTUNITY. Come work with a brilliant team taking action for people and planet...

Exciting vacancy in our policy team! See below post for details and reach out to me if you want to have a chat about the role.

@CaroleInnes0 @AberdeenFC I agree with you Carole. Most of us will never know the full ins and outs of this, but if he's sincerely apologised and the club have accepted that then for me that's the matter done. He'll either prove himself or he won't.

@AberdeenFC Everyone makes mistakes in life. If he's willing to knuckle down and work hard maybe we should give him a second chance

This news also makes it even more vital that the proposed Heat in Buildings Bill is robust. We need deadlines to end use of fossil fuel boilers before 2045 so industry can plan ahead, and we can create and protect jobs in Scotland.

On @STVNews later... News of potential job losses at Mitsubishi’s clean heat factory in Livingston underlines the need for clear policy direction and regulation by Scottish Government to drive demand and give business confidence. #Climate #JustTransition news.stv.tv/east-central/m…

By not achieving our 2030 ambition, there’s an increased burden on other nations to cut their emissions, and only delays the benefits for people in Scotland like warmer homes and cleaner air. It is vital we also kickstart a fair transition to climate & nature friendly farming 2/2

Years of under-delivery have led Scottish Government having to changes its #climate targets. The proposed bill must come with increased action to get emissions falling now to ensure that these new targets aren’t also missed. 1/2 gov.scot/news/climate-c…

Given other budget decisions, it’s disappointing to hear nothing about how existing agricultural support will be shared out more fairly and in ways that supports the industry to adopt climate and nature-friendly farming.  #PfG

The inclusion of a Natural Environment Bill is very welcome – and one we have campaigned for along with others. Of course, we won’t come close to halting nature loss without funding like the Nature Restoration Fund and better distribution of existing funding for farm support.#PfG

More detail needed, but it’s welcome to see a Heat in Buildings and Natural Environment Bills which, if robust enough & delivered, could help drive action to cut household fuel bills alongside carbon emissions & to begin to restore nature #PfG gov.scot/publications/p…

@KatieJWhite @Ed_Miliband @energygovuk Excellent news, Katie. I look forward to our paths crossing soon. 😀

**Bit of news** Great to sit behind @Ed_Miliband today as his new PPS @energygovuk Really looking forward to working with him (again) and his team and gathering all the clean energy enthusiasts in the Parliamentary Labour Party. Convention doesn’t allow me to ask questions in the house on this topic but for my constituents who know how passionate I am I will be doing so in private 💚🇬🇧 🌎

@IanMurrayMP @GillianMSP @Ed_Miliband @alasdairallan Done well, a successful just transition plan at #Grangemouth could be the template for the rest of the country, where we need to see similar plans developed for every high emitting facility. 3/3

The recent announcement by UK and Scottish government ministers, to work collaboratively to secure a sustainable future for #Grangemouth, is therefore a welcome first step. 2/2 @IanMurrayMP @GillianMSP @Ed_Miliband @alasdairallan

As the @JTCScotland report makes clear, there’s still time to put #Grangemouth on path toward a just transition for workers and the local community, but only if we act quickly and only if every stakeholder begins pulling in the same direction. justtransition.scot/publication/a-… 1/3

🏠🔥 With heating of homes responsible for a significant proportion of our carbon emission, it's great to see the @heraldscotland begin a series looking at the role heat pumps could play. heraldscotland.com/news/24343627.… By @vicky_allan
