The translation of climate policy into “on the ground” actions in our communities should deliver healthier, more prosperous and resilient cities with reduced greenhouse gas emissions, but how can we achieve that, and fast?
Local councils have now declared climate emergencies across the UK, but the impact and effectiveness of these declarations on enhancing long-term climate action has yet to be seen. What do these declarations mean for future climate governance and mechanisms for engaging stakeholders and the public?

Dennis Meadows Club of Rome 'think' tank 1969.
This became policy and was adopted by the UN. Global Warming became Climate Change then Climate Emergency..
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome.The real enemy then, is humanity itself.”
It took decades just to declare a climate emergency. But what good is that if the are still not doing anything about it?
Wish the treaty more looks better forward, Ameen. 🌐♥️
Carbon footprint for bleached hair? And who's creepy triangle flags?
The next steps are simple; confiscate everyone’s individual liberties, issue social credit scores, monitor the sheep, punish thought crime, and of course, make generous grants to LSE.
