Labour is nature-blind. Ministers urgently need to listen to scientists, like @ProfPaulBehrens👇 libdemvoice.org/the-independ… Nature is not an optional extra. Failure to protect and restore it will cripple our economy, and see global warming and flooding worsening.

I’ve just started this book; essential reading I’d judge from the intro… Sober fact; with every litre of petrol consumed in our cars we melt over a tonne of glacial ice. Let that sink in. We like to blame fossil-fuel companies for the climate crisis; but we all do this…

Paul will also be discussing his work on land use, food & energy systems, and climate change at the School and online tomorrow (Thursday). Read more and to register: i.mtrbio.com/onfjamuejd

Half the global population could be obese by 2035, driven by soaring sugar intake. Cutting sugar could free land for rewilding, reduce emissions, and create sustainable bioplastics or protein-rich foods. Read more from @ProfPaulBehrens in @ConversationUK theconversation.com/eating-l…

⚠️17 billionaires are receiving over €3 billion in EU agricultural subsidies. Subsidies that are mostly funding environmental catastrophe. Was happy to add some thoughts in this Guardian article that also highlights the incredible opacity of the CAP theguardian.com/environment/…

🌍 Climate change is driving food price hikes, impacting everyone—but the poorest are hit hardest. 1/3 of food inflation is linked to climate change, and it’s only set to rise. Watch our interview with @DrPaulBehrens: piped.video/CkYXdbSmRQc #WorldFoodDay #FoodSystems @FAO

I was really pleased to be consulted on this piece on ultra-proceed foods. It's really important to look at what's actually in the UPFs. We should aim for whole-food, plant-based meals but plant-based UPFs generally have much better nutrition than meat. bbc.co.uk/future/article/202…
