Seven of the councils now controlled by Reform have abandoned important green measures. This includes ditching ambitious net zero targets and withdrawing the declaration of a climate emergency – which could threaten green investment and undermine action taken locally to deal with the crisis.

A hotter, wetter South is becoming a breeding ground for mold
In Asheville, a housing crisis is colliding with a poorly understood health threat that only worsened after Helene.

Floods. Coastal erosion. Droughts. Wildfires. Homes destroyed. Lives shattered. Climate breakdown isn’t a distant threat. It’s happening now, and communities across the UK are on the frontlines. No one is safe from extreme weather, but those most at risk – disabled people, older people, those on low incomes – are hit hardest. Yet our politicians are failing us. Some drag their feet. Others deny the crisis entirely. Excuses are putting more lives, homes and livelihoods on the line. This isn’t just negligence – it’s a moral failure.

Yikes. A country of 1.5 Billion people running out of water.
Ancient stepwells brought back to life as India begins to run out of water as parts of the country head towards “day zero” when no water will be available https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/feb/26/ancient-stepwells-brought-back-india-run-out-water-day-zero
“It was such a joyous moment to see water collecting into the stepwell after clearing 40 years of garbage,” says Hajira Adeeb, a 45-year-old resident of Bansilalpet, who grew up seeing the well become transformed from the community’s water source to a dumping ground. “I visit almost every day. The area is clean and lit up in the evenings. I enjoy sitting there.”
India is famed for its stepwells – multi-storey structures built to provide access to groundwater, with steps and platforms descending to the water level. Thousands were built across the country near natural aquifers – underground porous rock saturated with water – mostly between the 11th and 18th centuries.
