1/2 In 2024 we awarded 576 hardship grants to nurses, midwives and healthcare support workers - making a real difference at the point when they needed it most. Our hardship service exists thanks to the kind donations from our supporters. #Hardship #Donation

@elpinchbeck.bsky.social CEO @thecccuk.bsky.social talked about the net SAVING Net Zero will bring to the economy. But right now… “Power is more expensive than it needs to be bc of policy. Mass uptake of clean home tech will only come when it’s 3x price of gas” (instead of the 4-6x it is now).

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
Cover from The Economist from two years ago "Say goodbye to 1.5°C; why climate policy is off target". It has a graphic of the Earth with an apple on its head, and a arrow shot through the Earth.
