Is the UK’s new £15bn Warm Homes Plan really #sustainable? Our institute researchers say it's a bold step - but caution without stronger focus on insulation, clearer long term policy, and better support for vulnerable households, it could fall short. Read more: www.bath.ac.uk/announcement...

Have you heard the government announcement for new £15billion investment with the #WarmHomesPlan? As our colleagues at @cast-centre.bsky.social have shared, research shows that many Brits want to make low-carbon choices, but come up against practical barriers – cost being a big one.

#SummerShowcase2025: 'If #sustainability is the goal, #greenchemistry will show the way!' Prof Walter Leitner of @maxplanck.de inspires #chemists to use their creativity for better processes & new products. #greenchemistry #greensky #chemsky @uniofbath.bsky.social

#SummerShowcase2025: Prof Stephen Doliente focuses on the 'how', providing concrete tools and evidence for #netzero industries through industrial ecology. His work on #criticalminerals recycling and material-energy systems shows that good planning makes the #energy transition achievable.

#SummerShowcase2025: Prof Cristina García Fontán ( @udc.gal ) proves that climate resilience isn't just about tech. It's about BEAUTY, community, and local solutions! Her people-environment research bridges citizens, experts, business & institutions to create landscapes that work for everyone.

#SummerShowcase2025: Dr Sam Hampton (@samhampton.bsky.social) reveals that MORE people care about #climatechange than we think. The key to breaking climate silence? Meeting people where they are, and grassroots communities like NCT, WI & the Green Salon Collective are already leading the way.

#SummerShowcase: Dr Jon Husband (@jonhusband.bsky.social) shows how #chemists can make #plastics more sustainable rather than replacing them entirely - reducing greenhouse gas emissions through better materials and recycling solutions for items like polystyrene and disposable gloves.

#SummerShowcase2025: Day 2 is underway, opening with keynote speaker @watsonjim.bsky.social, Professor of Energy Policy at @ucl.ac.uk, who shares his perspectives on the evolving #energy landscape and the role of #research in shaping #policy.

#SummerShowcase2025: What is organic synthesis and how does it relate to everyday life and #sustainability? Dr Alex Cresswell, Associate Director of @bath-iscc.bsky.social, answers this question and describes ways to reduce waste in #drug #synthesis. #greensky #chemsky @uniofbath.bsky.social
