More good news on clean, homegrown British renewable energy. Suffolk solar farm showcasing ecological best practices boosting biodiversity. "41% increase in biodiversity across Broxted Estate & Solar Farm, demonstrating the potential for solar developments to support nature recovery alongside clean-energy generation." “Solar is the energy source of the 21st Century but is best delivered in a way which combines the clear and pressing need for energy with the needs of wildlife and communities too." "At Broxted, we have therefore taken a holistic approach, creating an Integrated Strategy. This encompasses not only the solar farm but also the surrounding land and we have now been systematically implementing it for some 14 years."

The consequences of decades of inaction on climate change are now coming home to roost. 'The summer Britain realised climate change was real – and has consequences' "Britain has had a rude awakening to the realities of climate change and its effects are already here no longer knocking on the window, but bursting through the door." #ClimateChange #EnglandBurns #ClimateCrisis thelondoneconomic.com/opinio…

The climate crisis is reshaping our future, driving growing risks to food security and putting pressure on the food systems we depend on. Climate Extremes: 'The Climate Crisis Under Our Feet: Why food, soil and land belong at the heart of climate action' "In 2025, more than 266 million people in 47 countries and territories faced acute food insecurity, according to the 2026 Global Report on Food Crises." "Climate extremes were a major driver, alongside conflict, economic shocks and displacement." #Drought #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction wwf.panda.org/discover/our_f…

"This is not the ‘new normal’ or as bad as it gets." Countdown to Catastrophe: 'Climate scientists issue urgent warning to UK government on new oil and gas drilling'. "The science is crystal clear: we must keep oil and gas in the ground. Every extra molecule of carbon dioxide emitted drives us deeper into the danger zone." #Heatwaves #Drought #ClimateCrisis thecanary.co/uk/analysis/202…

A month of extremes: 'Record-breaking heat and extreme weather continue'.

They just don’t want to get it when it comes to climate change. New Research: "Fossils show huge carbon emissions harm forests, not 'green the planet'".

No time to waste: 'Sadiq Khan calls on Andy Burnham to commit to climate action as pressure grows over North Sea oil'. “New drilling and decelerating climate action would be bad for growth and for energy security in the UK, and a damaging signal for the world.” Nicholas Stern “If we are to protect our planet and the people who call it home, we must turn the tide on climate denial by preparing for a hotter future and embracing net zero like never before.” #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis theguardian.com/environment/…
