There is still time for you personally to get ahead of sustainability

Still time for you, your teams, and your organization to be the one that policymakers, consumers, and businesses look to

Transition planning is back on the table. It could be the UK’s biggest positive impact on sustainability During the 2024 General Election, someone asked me for the best thing the Conservative government had done. I said transition planning. Or at least putting the wheels for transition planning in motion...

My debut @libdemvoice.org article

@libdems.org.uk have to champion climate transition planning

For credibility and relationships with experts and activists, and to attract and retain members as the most progressive party on climate

Thank you for the nomination @greenlibdems.org.uk to the Federal Policy Committee (FPC) 💚🧡

Here’s a short manifesto of my plans and me!

Elections coming soon 🗳️

👇 @zoecrowther.bsky.social reports from Lib Dem conference in Bournemouth

Fantastic discussion for a just transition at another terrific @libdems.org.uk conference

From public procurement, to AI, to new outcomes for economies, to the need for transition planning regulation

Thank you to the @greenlibdems.org.uk for hosting!

@rachelbentleyld.bsky.social

This Sunday at the @libdems.org.uk conference I'll be joined by a fantastic spectrum of political, business, and sustainability powerhouses to continue the push for a Just Transition

Thank you to the @greenlibdems.org.uk for hosting us!

Thank you everyone who braved the unpredictable weather to talk to residents and deliver the latest @libdems.org.uk Focus leaflet in Catford South - for the positive and kinder politics we need right now 🌞

Thank you @luketaylorld.bsky.social for joining us in Catford South to hear directly from our neighbours 🌞

The @libdems.org.uk will always be the positive vision in politics that brings people together

There’s a positive alternative to hate and division 🔶

The remarkable rise of “greenhushing” Businesses once trumpeted their climate goals. Now they are quietly plugging away

We need to keep shouting to positively fill the silence greenhushing leaves. Progress is nowhere near enough. But progress moves. The penny has dropped in so many places that sustainability works. Communication needs to improve

Positive politics doesn’t mean you can’t get frustrated by the state of Lewisham’s streets…

We’ll keep bringing these issues to the council, win or lose. Signs of cleaner streets already. But more to do

A great reception this morning for people just showing up in Catford South

From midwifery to fly tipping to a widespread desire for something more positive than the current state of Lewisham, UK, and global politics 🗳️

A great late afternoon talking to people in Catford South 🧡

Getting ready for what was a beautiful morning talking to residents in Catford South 🌞

From community book sales to reporting new fly tipping to Lewisham Council, a full spectrum of positive politics in action 🧡

Council maintenance! 🌳

Before and after…

Good pestering by the Lewisham @libdems.org.uk 🧡

Public sector procurement should be a driving force for sustainability. But that opportunity is being missed

My thoughts from a recent Westminster Insight conference 👇

My expression suggests otherwise but it was fantastic to welcome @dannychambers.bsky.social MP to Southwark to hear about his time delivering diagnostics in Ukraine 🇺🇦 and getting cross party consensus to ban puppy smuggling 🐶

We’ll be back at Delay No More for more liberal orange wine soon 🧡

Focus on industrial waste. Not consumers

It's difficult to produce clear numbers on industrial waste. But the best estimates suggest that industrial waste is an order of magnitude larger than consumer or ‘municipal waste’...

Beautiful evening at the Horniman Museum supporting Five Talents 🌞

A fantastic London @libdems.org.uk summer forum 🌞

Here's our long-standing call to action on transition planning - in policy and business

www.hfsresearch.com/research/tra...

Exposure drafts: UK Sustainability Reporting Standards This consultation seeks views on the government's draft UK Sustainability Reporting Standards, based on the International Sustainability Standards Board standards.

Transition planning is back on the table in the UK. Here's the consultation

Mandating transition planning for large companies and financial institutions is the start of the sustainable systems change we need

@greenlibdems.org.uk

What story do you want to be a part of?

Our silence on sustainability has opened the door for others in politics and business to fill the gap

Always terrific to hear @paulpolman.bsky.social, this time at Watershed’s London Climate Action Week summit

@greenlibdems.org.uk

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk expanding on his powerful, moving, and at times both heartbreaking and inspiring stories of care - personal and through others - at Southwark Cathedral

Will always love catching up with many of my favourite @southwarklibdems.bsky.social too 🧡

UK gas plants in line for large windfall payments to keep lights on this winter Gas companies can be sent multimillion pound fees to generate electricity when wind and solar power is in short supply

We need a rapid acceleration in battery technology, long-duration energy storage, and digital grid investment

Fantastic morning with the Lewisham @libdems.org.uk team doing our best to bring some positivity to politics in Catford South 🧡

As some political parties come to a Damascus conversion , a reminder that the Lib Dems have continually campaigned to:

👩‍👩‍👦‍👦 Scrap the Two child Benefit Cap
🧓Keep Triple Lock Pension
🔥 Keep Winter Fuel Payments
🇪🇺 Closer ties with EU
🇵🇸 Ceasefire in Gaza
🇺🇸 Stand up to Trump

Utterly unsurprising. Most large firms are not changing their approach to sustainability or cutting investments already made. That's not to say they're doing enough though
