💡Ed Miliband reaffirms the UK's pledge to cut household energy bills by up to £300 by 2030. Clean power like solar and wind is key, he says
@iain_staffell highlights that renewables will eventually reduce bills, but short-term savings aren't guaranteed

🌍Last month was the hottest January on record, despite the cooling influence of La Niña
"The reason we've broken another record is the continued burning of fossil fuels," says @FrediOtto
Scientists warn we’ve already reached dangerous levels of warming

🐍 Happy Chinese New Year!
As we welcome the #YearOfTheSnake, we reflect on its role in nature, culture & conservation.
Snakes symbolise balance, renewal & resilience—values we uphold in environmental policy.

⚡Is #hydrogen still the fuel of the future?
@imperialcollege experts say its role is shifting to industrial decarbonisation, transport, and renewable energy balance. However, scaling up and reducing costs are key challenges.

The UK’s plan to reduce emissions by 81% by 2035 & triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 has been called “bold” by the UN, but @RobinLamboll says it’s not “particularly inspiring.”
@JoeriRogelj highlights the need for policies to match the ambition.

Ed Miliband is right: UK electricity bills are too high. ⚡️
We pay nearly 26p/kWh, while the US and Sweden pay much less.
Dr @iain_staffell says the system is flawed, with gas still setting prices. The solution? Green transition & market reform. 🌍
