🌳(1/6) We’ve joined the @forestryclimate partnership to work towards a future where the UK’s new and existing #woodlands are resilient to #ClimateChange and can provide for people and #wildlife.

🌳(2/6) When it comes to climate change, it’s clear that native #woods and #trees are critical to tackling the climate crisis.
They lock up carbon, reduce pollution and flooding, and support people and wildlife.

🌱(3/6) However, there is an urgent need to improve the resilience of both newly created and existing #woodlands to climate change.
According to our #StateOfWoodsAndTrees report, just 7% of Britain's native woodlands are in good ecological condition: woodlandtrust.org.uk/state-of-uk-wo…

Yesterday, @DefraGovUK proposed a new statutory national water efficiency target under #EnvironmentAct.
So far so good.
But the proposed 20% reduction in water company 'Distribution Input' by 2037, per capita, is pathetically weak.
It means no action at all, here's why... 1/n

Putting the target on a 'per capita' basis means any gains in water efficiency for the environment could be negated by population growth.
In an extreme scenario, if popn growth is 20%+ by 2037 then MORE water could be taken from the environment and target would still be met
In an extreme scenario, if popn growth is 20%+ by 2037 then MORE water could be taken from the environment and target would still be met
ONS's projections suggest population will rise by ~10% between now and late 2030s. If so, it means actual use of public water supplies need only fall by 10% to achieve the target.
