👏 The Rosebank oil field has been ruled unlawful – a monumental victory for a liveable future for all. ‘The public interest in authorities acting lawfully and the private interest of members of the public in climate change outweigh the private interest of the developers’
BREAKING 🚨: WE WON OUR CASE AGAINST ROSEBANK. The court has ruled the oil field UNLAWFUL and Rosebank’s approval has been overturned. This is a monumental victory in the fight for a liveable future for all.
Brilliant #SustainableEstatesConference today that strayed well beyond mitigation to adaptation and nature based solutions, all critical to the future of the NHS. Thanks for having me @Policy_Projects

Our authors are at @COP29_AZ, sharing the latest evidence on health and climate change. As @DrMariaNeira @WHO said at our report launch event: The evidence is clear. No one can say 'I didn't know'. Time for urgent, health-centred climate action.
Thank you to Drs Kathryn Speedy and William Beharrell @FathomTrust for facilitating such a wonderful weekend where members of our ecoCAMHS group & friends interested in nature matters got time to connect, experience and discuss in beautiful surroundings at Penpont in Wales.
