Climate crisis debate – another step on the transition journey
Last night saw the first climate crisis party leaders’ debate in history. This is the issue of our time and the greatest existential threat humanity will face. We have just 11 years to turn the climate-change super tanker around and the next government could be in power for 5 of those years, so this type of national conversation is absolutely vital.

Growth in Thrive renewable electricity output reflects success of sector in 2018
The UK’s clean energy industry reached new highs in 2018. Renewables broke new records, delivering a third of all electricity generation, while power generated from fossil fuels was lower than ever before.
