Rivers are our lifelines!
Today, @Minaguli begins a run the length of France’s Seine River pre- #ParisOlympics to highlight river restoration efforts.

It's time for the UK gov to turn words into action. 💪

#Stormciaran shows us yet again that we are not ready for Climate Extremes. UNEP tells how unready. We are only spending 10% of what's needed and its falling..

Here's my piece on the significance of the Libya dam disaster. The event "is likely to herald a grim new dam era, in which the decline of dam building accelerates and deadly dam failures become more and more common."

Scrapping nutrient neutrality will trigger a Race to the Bottom ⬇️not the Levelling Up ⬆️ & Regeneration that we’ve been waiting for.

Scrapping #NeutrientNeutrality would expose England's most sensitive rivers to yet more pollution.
If Government were to do this, it'd undermine our most vital nature laws, the #HabitatsRegulations.
Please don't make this environmental error @RishiSunak
