@andyburnham.bsky.social has made the right choice to chair an urgent Cobra meeting on extreme heat. He should: 1. Move responsibility for climate resilience from Defra to the Cabinet Office 2. Assign responsibility for coordination to a Cabinet Minister 3. Establish an annual Cabinet meeting

Our report found that these risks are not equally shared. Those with existing health problems, on low incomes, and pregnant women are at greater risk. The UK is unprepared for extreme heat: hospitals have to cancel operations, schools have to shut, infrastructure buckles.

Amber health alerts are in place again as parts of the UK enter a fourth heatwave. 2 in 5 deaths caused by heatwaves in May and June far this year can be linked to the additional heat from climate change. @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @metoffice.gov.uk @lshtm.bsky.social

As Baroness Grender notes, 90% of UK MPAs are still exposed to bottom trawling - amounting to 20,000 hours of trawling in the past year alone 🐠

All-Party Parliamentary Group on the Environment @environmentappg.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Bottom trawling causes irreversible damage to our oceans 🌊 Baroness Sugg highlighted how heavy nets used by large fishing corporations devastates marine life and threatens coastal livelihoods 🐟 Banning this gear in 41 more MPAs would be a major step forward

The final panel of Sarah Mukherjee of ISEP, Elisabeth Sullivan of techUK and David Steen of UKGBC urged the government to treat climate risks as cascading and interdependent rather than separate, and to work with nature not against it.

We're launching an inquiry into UK climate resilience. 2026 so far has made it abundantly clear that climate breakdown is already impacting the UK. Successive governments have assumed we have more time than we do. We'll be looking into homes, infrastructure, food and nature.
