Extreme weather, longer fire seasons, rising insurance costs. Still think sustainability is a nice-to-have? The cost of inaction is already hitting margins. #ClimateRisk #BusinessResilience

💰 You think sustainability is expensive? Try budgeting when resource shortages double material costs From timber to water, climate change is disrupting supply chains. Businesses relying on scarce resources will struggle Should companies be required to disclose climate risks? #SustainableBusiness

The most vital force in climate stability isn’t on land; it’s in the ocean. David Attenborough’s new film OCEAN explores how this overlooked lifeline supports life on Earth & how we still have time to protect it. Can't wait to see it! 8th May 🌊 🎟️ oceanfilm.net #OceanWithAttenborough #ClimateCrisis

If you work in climate, politics, or just want to understand what global agreements really take, go see Kyoto It’s fierce, funny, and painfully relevant. The kind of storytelling we need more of. Playing Soho Place Theatre, London until 3 May 🎭 #ClimateStorytelling #KyotoPlay #ClimateAction #COP3

The most moving part? Seeing how nations with vastly different agendas did come to an agreement It’s easy to feel cynical about global climate talks, especially in our current divided era, but this is a powerful reminder that unity is possible when urgency outweighs ego #COPHistory #KyotoPlay

Kyoto puts you in the room where it happened: 11 hrs past the COP deadline, nations deadlocked, and fossil fuel lobbyists doing all they can to sink a deal. Climate negotiations aren’t dull, they’re messy, human, political. This play nails it. #Sustainability #ClimateDiplomacy #KyotoPlay

Saw Kyoto at Soho Place Theatre last night: Tense, brilliant & painfully real. It captures the drama, division & surprising unity of the 1997 climate talks. Ultimately, it gave me hope that so many countries can, in fact, agree on a global scale🌍 rsc.org.uk/kyoto #ClimateAction #KyotoPlay

From the writers and directors of the universally-acclaimed The Jungle comes this pulse-pounding political drama.

💰 Think sustainability is expensive? 🤔 Watch your margins shrink when climate risks drive up insurance costs Extreme weather = rising premiums & policy exclusions. Companies tied to fossil fuels or resource-heavy industries will pay the price How can businesses stay ahead? 🌍💸 #SustainableFinance

Feel helpless, want an easy thing to do? Switch banks Just FYI 💰 UK’s biggest banks are still fueling the climate crisis. Since the Paris Agreement, Barclays, HSBC, Santander, NatWest & Lloyds have invested $556 billion in fossil fuels- $55 billion in 2023 alone #SustainableFinance #ClimateAction

Our savings & pensions could be fueling deforestation & pollution. 😟 Switching to a sustainable pension provider redirects your money to green projects. Don't know who to go to? makemymoneymatter.co.uk/pensions/ @makemymoneymatter.bsky.social #GreenSavings #Sustainability #SustainableFinance

Where your business banks matters. 💰 Supporting banks that fuel climate change risks undermining your sustainability efforts. You can make a switch to a fossil-free bank using MakeMyMoneyMatter’s guide. 🌍 Check it out: makemymoneymatter.co.uk/wp-content/u... #SustainableFinance #ClimateAction

A huge & easy sustainability switch we can all make —it's not cycling or a plant-based food 🌱 It's your savings account! Did you know UK’s big banks provided $55bn to fossil fuels in 2023? Your money matters. Switch to a fossil-free bank & fund a greener future. 💚 #Sustainability #ClimateAction

Scientists are linking the wildfires in LA to climate “whiplash”— the rapid shifts between drought & heavy rain driven by a warming world. While #climatechange isn’t the direct cause, it’s a significant factor making fire weather more extreme & frequent @mattmcgrathbbc.bsky.social bit.ly/4jpsYGH

In recognition of us doing fuck all to reduce emissions, let me remind y'all that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is useless unless we decarbonize drastically. rdcu.be/dbFbB
nature.com
Carbon dioxide removal is not a current climate solution — we need to change the narrative
Drastically reduce emissions first, or carbon dioxide removal will be next to useless.

Great to see Veganuary having a lasting impact on meat consumption! 🌱 But social pressures, limited comparable meat swaps & perceived inconvenience still make plant-based diets hard to maintain. What do you think would make plant-based eating easier for more people? #Sustainability #PlantBased

Big tech funding $80M in carbon removal for paper mills & sewage plants—progress or patchwork? Retrofitting older industries is a step forward, but can these solutions scale fast enough to make a real dent in emissions? Systemic change still feels like the missing link. 🌍 #ClimateAction #NetZero

All valid points, it's a shame Vinted, Ebay and Depop aren't on here to respond. Right to return should be up there on the list of must-haves - personally, anything I've not received as satisfactory, I've had no problem returning. But you're right about diseases - it hadn't occurred to me!
