💡Ed Miliband reaffirms the UK's pledge to cut household energy bills by up to £300 by 2030. Clean power like solar and wind is key, he says @iain_staffell highlights that renewables will eventually reduce bills, but short-term savings aren't guaranteed bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

🌍Last month was the hottest January on record, despite the cooling influence of La Niña "The reason we've broken another record is the continued burning of fossil fuels," says @FrediOtto Scientists warn we’ve already reached dangerous levels of warming newsweek.com/january-2025-h…

🐍 Happy Chinese New Year! As we welcome the #YearOfTheSnake, we reflect on its role in nature, culture & conservation. Snakes symbolise balance, renewal & resilience—values we uphold in environmental policy. Read more in our latest blog post: blogs.imperial.ac.uk/centre-for-env…

⚡Is #hydrogen still the fuel of the future? @imperialcollege experts say its role is shifting to industrial decarbonisation, transport, and renewable energy balance. However, scaling up and reducing costs are key challenges. #NetZero imperial.ac.uk/Stories/hydrog…

The UK’s plan to reduce emissions by 81% by 2035 & triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 has been called “bold” by the UN, but @RobinLamboll says it’s not “particularly inspiring.” @JoeriRogelj highlights the need for policies to match the ambition. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The end of the dry season is getting later, arriving on average 23 days later than it would have done without global warming. Dr Clair Barnes, from the WWA and @Grantham_IC and co-lead author of the study, explains more 🔽

🔥 Climate change made the devastating LA wildfires 35% more likely, new research by @WWAttribution & CEP researchers confirms Hot, dry conditions are pushing wildfire risk higher, with longer fire seasons and drier winters fuelling the flames bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Happy Lunar New Year to our amazing community of students, alumni, and staff 🐍 The Year of the Snake brings wisdom, resilience, and transformation. Let’s embrace new opportunities, learn, and grow together. Wishing you all a prosperous and fulfilling year ahead!

"You can't solve climate change with one country going on its own" On @dwnews, @RobinLamboll discusses the US exit from the #ParisAgreement, risks to the green economy, and how other nations can seize this moment to lead the renewable energy transition youtube.com/watch?v=qZuj6D…

Imperial's new tool, the Imperial Transition Pathways Explorer, helps organisations explore pathways to #NetZero emissions Developed with @Sustainable_ICL and the CEP, it models decarbonisation actions and impacts for tailored carbon reduction strategies imperial.ac.uk/news/260013/in…

New blog post by Alex Mines, our new PhD student at @IC_CEP, on the LA wildfires and how prioritising resiliency strategies can help insurance markets and wildland-urban interface communities #lawildfire #wildfires centreforwildfires.org/news/l-a-wildf…

Ed Miliband is right: UK electricity bills are too high. ⚡️ We pay nearly 26p/kWh, while the US and Sweden pay much less. Dr @iain_staffell says the system is flawed, with gas still setting prices. The solution? Green transition & market reform. 🌍 thetimes.com/uk/environment…

"We really need to bring emissions down in the short term because these feedback loops make it harder in the long term to stay below the [1.5°C] target" @RobinLamboll on record-high CO₂ emissions and the urgency for action, via @itvnews (🎥2:03 onwards) itv.com/watch/news/why…
