£180 billion additional borrowing. 1.5% smaller economy by 2030. 7% inflation. The Iran war will punish every country. But nations with lower reliance on global oil and gas markets will be better protected. @theCCCuk @OBR_UK environmentjournal.online/headlines/net-…

More funding for Britain’s two most powerful environmental regulators will focus on outcomes over process to speed up new developments. But do changes to national policy prioritise the wrong type of business? environmentjournal.online/transport/100m…

Calling all UK local authorities. £1m is up for grabs to start new electrical #recycling schemes. Find more on the new Material Focus fund below... #electricals #reuse #repair #circularity environmentjournal.online/waste-recyclin…

While Reform and the right try and present @bankofengland design changes as a woke conspiracy, the real debate is which species should appear on new British bank notes - developed to curb forgery. @RSPCA_official environmentjournal.online/headlines/leas…

UK will become fusion superpower via world’s most advanced AI computer. Billions committed, the planet's first fusion power plant is being built, and first market framework for this tech deployed. @UKAEAofficial @Cambridge_Uni @Dell @intel #energy environmentjournal.online/energy/uk-to-b…

What do @bradfordmdc @BerylBikes and @LNER have in common? #activetravel #travel #transport #emissions environmentjournal.online/transport/brad…

Water management is about more than pollution. Recent widespread flooding in the UK belies the fact that the country is rapidly running out of drinkable and potable H20. How do we care for water better? #water #drought #floods #environment #climate environmentjournal.online/headlines/how-…

How do you solve a problem like recruitment and retention? We asked the Chartered Institute of #Environmental Health. environmentjournal.online/headlines/rete…

Oil slicks in Sri Lanka, chemical spills on land, huge plumes of toxic smoke across the Middle East. Environmental fallout from the Iran war will be felt globally for years. We take a look at the latest assessment. #war #environment #climate #nature environmentjournal.online/headlines/envi…

Reports. We've seen a few. Some better than others. The weaker yours are, the more costly to your organisation. Poor ESG data leads to higher insurance and financing costs, contractual problems, and merger complications at 95% of UK firms. environmentjournal.online/headlines/poor…

In Stockholm, a flying ferry has slashed emissions by 94% and cut journey times in half. #ferry #travel #transport environmentjournal.online/transport/stoc…

Last year saw record levels of fly-tipping in England, up 9% on the previous according to @DefraGovUK. Meanwhile, a Channel 4 News report has again spotlit a site in Wigan, owned by the Duchy of Lancaster, which has become an illegal dump. #pollution environmentjournal.online/waste-recyclin…

How much do you trust your hairdresser? Apparently, a lot. "Hairdressers could be powerful climate crisis influencers". Full story below. environmentjournal.online/headlines/hair…

Less is more? Research into English and Welsh council garbage collection policies shows it may not make any difference if people have to pre-sort rubbish. In contrast, reducing general waste collection regularity increases #recycling. environmentjournal.online/waste-recyclin…

Low smoke fuels can double ultrafine particulate emissions... Very worrying news for public health and air quality. @uniofgalway #airpollution #pollution environmentjournal.online/waste-recyclin…

Missile attacks close oil and gas targets. Gulf flights grounded. The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed. And recent UK intelligence reports point to geopolitical instability rapidly increasing in the coming years due to ecosystem collapse. environmentjournal.online/energy/iran-wa…

The tech sector must switch from a climate-only strategy – with emissions the focus of ‘green’ actions, policy changes and corporate initiatives - to one that also aims to stop biodiversity collapse. #technology #smartphones #nature #biodiversity environmentjournal.online/headlines/75-o…

The @UK_CAA @MottMacDonald and more collaborate on new environmental guidance for British spaceports - looking to curb the impact of orbital launches. #transport #SpaceTech #space #travel #emissions #nature #sustainability environmentjournal.online/transport/envi…
