Hope everyone is enjoying the half term break with the kids. There are lots of things to see and do in rural places of Lancashire, Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester.

Electric vehicles outside The Green Summit 21. Good to see what is going on across Greater Manchester. The headline is that whilst progress is good, it is below the carbon budget. So significant scaling up of effort to reduce our carbon emissions is needed..urgently @GMGreenCity

A good transport session with @Chris_Boardman learning about rollout of the Bee Network.👏
@GMGreenCity.

Government commitment is needed in the spending review to head off the huge costs threatened by the climate and biodiversity emergency. It is a do or die moment, deeds and not just words. @RishiSunak @michaelgove @AndyBurnhamGM @GMGreenCity

Learning about the potential of hydrogen to decarbonise the economy. @GMGreenCity @MFCIC @manchesteruni

Have to love the upcycling effort at Fallinge Park, Rochdale. Reconnecting people to nature based solutions post pandemic. @VintageWorx @RochdaleCouncil @GMGreenCity

Good to hear the range of activity occurring at landscape scale by. Nice nod to Right to Roam too!👏 @WoodlandTrust @GMGreenCity

Fabulous project in Chorlton, Manchester encouraging people out of their cars. GM needs to reduce car trips by 1 million a day. People need to be enabled to walk and cycle more and have better public services. @HeritageFundUK @GMGreenCity @Beenetworkintl

Salford Mayor Paul Dennet opening the session on community action. Interesting case studies on retrofitting your home and other actions to help reduce carbon emissions. Powering our communities fund..don't miss out. @salford_mayor @GMGreenCity @ElectricityNW
