In fact it's worse than the CCC's advice.

"Specifically, the CCC suggested there would be an important role for behaviour change in relation to diets and efforts to limit the rise in the number of flights.

In contrast, the government has placed much less emphasis on these areas. This means that it relies to a greater extent on expensive technologies that can remove CO2 from the atmosphere."

Most Oxford colleges have student organisations called JCRs. These have budgets around £60K a year and often a lot goes unused. I would like to change their constitution with a plan to become #net-zero by 2029. Does any one have any thought on #carboncredits and #carbonbudgets and about how best to implement this?

Study: US owes $80 trillion in climate reparations

Major polluting countries could be responsible for a collective $170 trillion for overshooting their fair share of carbon emissions.

What would happen in #GreaterManchester if the spatial plan 'Places for Everyone' were to be implemented?
Could GM stay within its carbon budget?
Could it make a fair contribution to the nationally legislated net zero target?
We ran the numbers, trying our best to be fair and rigorous.
It's not a pretty picture.

The article describes the weakening of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority's sustainability policies, we believe as a concession to developers.
We had no notice of the changes but with other community and campaigning groups were able to argue against them. We have to wait to see what the Inspectors will conclude but aren't optimistic.
