Very proud to see my new friend and fellow @goldmanprize.bsky.social winner Theonila Roka Matbob at the Metro station!

Theonila forced Rio Tinto to begin to address the devastation caused by its long abandoned Panguna mine in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea.

From a Surrey oil well to the supreme court: how an activist changed UK climate law Sarah Finch’s fight against drilling led to a landmark ruling on fossil fuel emissions – and a leading environmental prize

I am deeply honoured to have received the 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize for Europe. This recognises my long fight as part of @wealdactiongroup.bsky.social over fossil fuel production – and our eventual landmark legal victory.

Thank you

Thanks Annie. The IPCC puts methane at around 30% of total warming, this may be an underestimate. Whatever the figure, we need to reduce methane emissions ASAP, which is the aim of the @wealdactiongroup.bsky.social campaign.

Real leadership from the Pacific nations!

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

Oh look, the AMOC looks likely to collapse.

@rahmstorf.bsky.social is “increasingly worried that we may well pass that Amoc shutdown tipping point, where it becomes inevitable, in the middle of this century”.

Yet some still want more North Sea oil & gas!

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I disagree! LNG is a small percentage of our overall gas imports. Far better to reduce gas demand faster than to open new sources that will keep us locked into gas use for decades. It's hard – politically and legally – to close down infrastructure once it's operating. No to new North Sea oil & gas!

I think it is a great idea. I do wonder how easy it would be to implement. A big job for HMRC to establish the net worth and tax liability of people good at concealing and offshoring their wealth.

Jonathon Porritt, Sarah Finch and edie editor Matt Mace on stage at edie 26.

Thought-provoking to hear Jonathon Porritt and @sarahfinch.bsky.social talking about their hard-won experience advocating for nature and how business can do this - not for the payback of ecosystem services, but for the value of nature as the foundation of all life and society.

Methane is fuelling the climate crisis. Cutting it is one of the fastest ways to slow it down.

So why is UK onshore oil & gas still being ignored?

⚠️Weak monitoring
⚠️Limited oversight
⚠️No real accountability

So we’re taking action - Clean Air, Clear Future

We need to cut methane pollution NOW!

Jonathan Porrit, Sarah Finch and the editor of edie sat on a panel stage.

“The first rule of advocacy is to open your mouth” - Jonathon Porritt.

Let me tell you a story about connection. Stories. Passion. And a banana.

I’m sitting at our stand with a few bunches of bananas on the table. They make perfect sustainable give aways, link to Mike’s book, and start chats…

Thank you for the banana! a much needed energy boost before the panel. It was great to meet you Charlie and to talk with Jonathan Porritt, who has inspired many of us for decades.

Gatwick Airport profits hit by drop in short-haul passengers Airport managers have blamed the decline on

Gatwick Airport's t profits and passenger numbers are down from 2024, due to a drop in short-haul passengers. The conflict in the Middle East will likely make that fall further.

This proves what we’ve said all along: Gatwick's Big Enough.

Upstream, Downstream and Everything In-Between: Developments in Assessing Scope 3 Emissions in the UK - from Uplift (Publication) Over the past year and a half, there have been significant legal and policy developments in how the UK assesses downstream scope 3 emissions — the emissions created from burning the oil and gas they p...

Thanks to our Supreme Court win, oil & gas companies have to come clean about the full climate impact of their projects, including downstream emissions. This report will be helpful for anyone responding to consultations on new developments.

I agree – an in-nature shot is nicer than a studio portrait.

Thanks Steve for inviting me onto the podcast. It was interesting to chat about the up- and down-sides of using the law in campaigns.

The law is a powerful tool for climate campaigners – but it's also expensive and there are no guarantees of success.

Don’t reverse Finch ruling, PM urged The campaigner who won a landmark Supreme Court ruling on onshore oil and gas emissions is urging the prime minister to resist calls to overturn the judgement.
