It's political good sense to decarbonise in a way that also works for people -- improving jobs, wellbeing... A green new deal is an example of mature environmental policy @angelafrancisuk of #wwf_uk talking about Big Tent Ideas Festival @bigtent19

Packed room for Ed Miliband opening WWF UK IPPR essay launch. This report is important because it talks to 'every sector and every walk of life'. Yes this is a #ClimateCrisis but the green transition is about 'better lives'

Earth is warming but not the same everywhere. This #dataviz shows the warming since 1960 at different latitudes. It shows that in 2016 the Arctic was already 3°C warmer than the 1961-1990 average, The last decade is more than 2°C warmer! #globalwarming #climatechange
