Our new report published today on high streets and health inequalities to map the changes over time in 16 amenities across all of England's high streets - areas which already suffer from a high burden of ill health also face a decline in the quality of their high streets. #gischat #geosky #episky

Climate change is happening. We can see it in our observations. But adaptation to climate change needs to keep up with the weather
We keep seeing evidence that our climate is changing rapidly, with more extreme weather causing casualties, damage to infrastructure and businesses, and degradation of our natural environment.

Important from @womensbudgetgrp.bsky.social on role of public transport in tackling gender inequality & child poverty in this report. Women are less likely to have access to a car and more likely to use local buses. Poor public transport often means mothers can only take on local, lower-paid work.
Affordable public transport links are crucial for women, particularly in rural areas, to secure or maintain employment. It is essential to provide local authorities with greater funding and decision-making power, enabling them to invest in local bus networks and design routes that connect nurseries and schools with job hubs
