This should be straightforward, considering that the UK Government is a member of the UK IUCN National Committee.

Thank you Mark. Very honoured to see ‘Just Earth’ in your eight.

Podcast cover art for Tommy's Outdoors featuring the book 'Just Earth: How a Fairer World Will Save the Planet' by Tony Juniper alongside an author interview. The left side displays the book cover with an illustration of brass scales balancing a tree against gold coins, endorsed by George Monbiot. The right side shows a grey-haired man in a blue striped shirt seated indoors during a video call. The header reads 'Conservation and Science' in bold white lettering against an olive green background with gold accent stripes.

Why are we failing on climate change and biodiversity despite fifty years of campaigning? Could social inequality be the root cause undermining all our conservation efforts?
In this episode, I talk with @tonyjuniper.bsky.social about his latest book 'Just Earth'. 🌍

Infographic showing the EU's climate targets: 55% emissions reduction by 2030, 66% to 72% by 2035, 90% by 2040, and Net-zero emissions by 2050, starting from a polluted 1990 baseline.

The climate crisis won’t wait — and neither will we.

EU countries have agreed on a new, ambitious climate commitment under the Paris Agreement.

Delighted to see that the great Mark Cocker has chosen ‘Just Earth’ to include in the Spectator’s Books Of The Year round up. What a good place for that book to be highlighted.

Marvellous. They are in Logan’s Meadow nature reserve. I have found the odd half eaten big fish by the boathouses and thought it was probably signs of Otter. Excellent to get an actual sighting and picture. Really great 👍

The huge biodiversity gains from restoring farm #ponds.

Yes we can probably organise that. Drop me a message on here and we can make a plan

Marvellous. Very pleased you found it interesting.

En route to #sheffield for an event with my book ‘Just Earth’ at the Off The Shelf literary festival. I will be in conversation with Prof Joanna Gavins & I believe there are some tickets left if anyone fancies coming. Begins at 18.00.

Thank you. I’m delighted to know it made sense

I’ve just finished reading the hardback version… HIGHLY recommend that everyone should read this. Thrivalism cannot come soon enough. If you care about people and the planet, this book will resonate and educate.

If anyone would like a paperback copy of ‘Just Earth’, @Waterstones are offering pre-orders with 25% discount.

The extraordinary and hopeful JUST EARTH from leading environmentalist @tonyjuniper.bsky.social identifies the real problem at the heart of the climate and nature crises: inequality. Don't miss the paperback edition.

"Looking after nature is the biggest no-brainer for the economy the world has ever seen."

The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...

King Charles hopes Amazon Prime nature documentary will 'inspire' viewers The King to appear in Amazon documentary encouraging people to work with rather than against nature.

The release of this new film in early 2026 should create quite an impact, in setting out the seriousness of the ecological challenges now upon us, while inspiring understanding as to the positive choices we can make in meeting them.

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.

When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected.

Cleaner air means a healthier city and big savings for the NHS.

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left.

And it’s not even close!

Perhaps a rough approximation of a Marbled Duck?

‘It’s resurrection’: 1,000-year-old seeds could grow ancient plants in England’s ice-age ghost ponds An expert team are resurrecting ice age ponds and finding rare species returning from a ‘perfect time capsule’

In case you missed it: lots of amazing and heartening pond restoration going on. Research is likely to confirm that seeds "lost" in the bottom of filled-in ponds can remain viable for 100s of years so ponds and their aquatic plants leap back to life. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In the past decade alone, the richest 1% have gained $33.9 trillion.

That’s enough to end global poverty - 22 times over.

Wonderful to be at the Wild Summit today. A real sense of common cause across a vast range of organisations & people. I said that Nature can be recovered, if we bring people & diverse sectors together in partnerships, integrate policy & foster a Nature positive culture, & it’s already starting.

Just Earth - British Wildlife Just Earth comes at a particularly unjust and unearthly time. Mounting inequalities and crystallising environmental crises characterise the present day, and this forms the basis of Tony Juniper’s two-...

So good to see Sir Partha Dasgupta & to chat about his excellent 2021 report for HM Treasury on the economic value of Nature. Striking to hear from this world-leading economist about the limitations of conventional economics & the concept of ‘growth’ as we degrade Earth’s systems

A pond restored in 2015. Stunning structural complexity & very high biodiversity in its 3 planty zones. Right in the middle of an arable field but no drainage in & a good buffer. Farming & conservation working together. This is what we MUST DO! @wildernorfolk.bsky.social @tonyjuniper.bsky.social

His achievement in making Tesla one of the most toxic brands on planet earth is truly exceptional worthy of recognition, but if I were a board member I’d hesitate in doing that via a pay rise.

One more step for Nature recovery in England marked with an extension to the Ingleborough National Nature Reserve in Yorkshire. This beautiful area hosts a wealth of scarce wildlife. The Natural England team is very proud to work with such wonderful partners in making this happen.
