Our forests, rivers, oceans and grasslands are in peril - worldwide, over 75% of nature is in bad shape. But this week @EP_Environment could vote for a law to #RestoreNature. MEPs: Without nature, there's no food, no water, no future - we need a strong Nature Restoration Law

I just met with @PhilippeBrassac who says @Credit_Agricole is “committed to the climate transition” - My question to him was: then why are they financing @TotalEnergies to develop carbon bombs like EACOP?
Our message to Monsieur Brassac is simple: Defund Total. #StopEACOP now!

On this historic #WorldWaterDay, I have a request for leaders meeting at the UN this week:
Take #WaterAction, put the #WaterJusticeManifesto by brave water defenders at the heart of these talks.
Water is NOT a private commodity.
Water is a shared human right. Water is Life.

🚨 NHS waiting lists ROSE despite @RishiSunak's promise to cut them.
This shows in the clearest possible terms how the Government's neglect of the NHS is putting lives at risk.
Prime Minister, we're watching. Instead of making empty promises, give our NHS the funding it needs.
