As COP27 draws closer, we look back on our hopes for COP26.

The need for climate leadership is still as urgent one year on.

'This is the time for world leaders to make meaningful decisions that will keep a liveable planet for future generations.'

Are we STILL on this?

The Environment Secretary saying that we should reuse cups. She'll be saying we should change our lightbulbs next.

'One of our most tangible tragedies – massive loss of ice – is triggered by a warming world exacerbated by excessive flying.'

So Elon Musk is now running Twitter. Do we feel good about this? No. Do we use other social platforms run by people we don't agree with? Yes. So for now, we're staying, because inspiring climate action is bigger than the guy who sits in HQ.

Your actions matter 💪

Our fave climate change comedian Dr Matt Winning on BBC Radio 4 right now in Net Zero: a very British problem.

New environmental policy. Particularly like 'the two main members of staff are vegan, so most of the work done by Flight Free UK is plant-powered.' 🤣

Are we missing anything? More suggestions on being as eco as possible?

I Came By Train: new campaign from trainline to promote rail travel over flying or driving.

There's even a song from Craig David. It's rather good. thetrainline.com/sustainable-tr…

'In the first nine months of this year CO2 emissions from private jets reached levels comparable with the whole of 2019.'

Bravo Lumo for taking a hefty chunk of the market away from air travel on the London-Edinburgh route.

Now can we have cut price rail travel on all routes across the UK please?

In order to tackle the ultra-high aviation emissions from the wealthiest in society, do Safe Landing followers think that Governments should either?:

'We’ve not travelled by plane since 2009 because of the climate crisis.' 😍

'Long car journeys with children can very quickly lose their appeal... Not so with bikepacking. The adventure began from the moment we shut the front door.' 👇🚲
