It is difficult to see how this text will help to achieve the deep and rapid cut in emissions we need by 2030 to keep 1.5c alive
With so many countries backing clear language on fossil-fuel-phase-out, who does this text actually serve?

Did you know that core members of our #GreenSpaceDarkSkies team received Carbon Literacy Training in order to keep our events as low impact as possible?
Studies find that training offers a carbon emission saving of 5-15% per person due to beneficial behavioural change.
