UK Government's #COP28 #Nature day announcements. A speedy 🧵on the good and the gaps.

The good: criteria published for the #30x30 commitment to protect 30% for nature by 2030.

The map rightly counts National Landscapes as areas with unfulfilled potential for #nature recovery.

Rather than pulling its socks up and fixing delivery, its solution (time and again) is to cancel, weaken or delay

Micheal, this is utter nonsense, and I think you know that

If you want to build new homes, then do something about the >900k homes that have planning permission but are not being built by housebuilders

Please don't attack environmental protections as a convenient distraction

An important result and a sensible one. Who on earth thought arguing for more pollution was progressive? Or in the public interest??

‘EU-era” makes it sound like a historical irrelevance. But what’s more relevant today, making polluters pay, or paying the polluters? Our government has lost perspective, credibility and trust. Let’s hope this gets voted down. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
