Our new report published today on high streets and health inequalities to map the changes over time in 16 amenities across all of England's high streets - areas which already suffer from a high burden of ill health also face a decline in the quality of their high streets. #gischat #geosky #episky

THREAD: The Government needs to take urgent steps to reverse the deterioration of England’s High Streets - particularly in the North, deprived & coastal areas, according to our new research with @newcastleuni.bsky.social and @manchester.ac.uk 1/11 www.healthequitynorth.co.uk/report-calls...

“… the areas with the highest risk of transport related social exclusion are characterised by a vicious cycle of high car-dependency and a lack of viable public transport and active travel options for everyday journeys” Valuable research & updated data tool launched by Transport for the North.

Transport related social exclusion – a case for investment in the North - Transport for the North

Poorly performing, inadequate, and unaffordable transport choices in some areas of the North have a fundamental impact on the everyday lives of residents. The risk of what we term transport related so...

Activists told @theguardian.com “the challenge now was to mobilise the ‘climate-aware majority’—the large proportion of the population that is aware of the coming crisis, are deeply afraid about what it means for their own lives and that of their children, but are yet to take action.” #The89Percent

What next for climate activism now Just Stop Oil is ‘hanging up the hi-vis’?

After three years, thousands of arrests and a state crackdown on protests, the group is ending direct action after a polarising campaign

The new Climate Adaptation Research and Innovation Framework (CARIF) describes the research and innovation needed to enable UK adaptation. In our blog, find out how our science informs adaptation advice to government and business to protect the UK from the worst climate change impacts.

Climate change is happening. We can see it in our observations. But adaptation to climate change needs to keep up with the weather

We keep seeing evidence that our climate is changing rapidly, with more extreme weather causing casualties, damage to infrastructure and businesses, and degradation of our natural environment.

Important from @womensbudgetgrp.bsky.social on role of public transport in tackling gender inequality & child poverty in this report. Women are less likely to have access to a car and more likely to use local buses. Poor public transport often means mothers can only take on local, lower-paid work.

Affordable public transport links are crucial for women, particularly in rural areas, to secure or maintain employment. It is essential to provide local authorities with greater funding and decision-making power, enabling them to invest in local bus networks and design routes that connect nurseries and schools with job hubs

Children’s poverty is deeply connected to women’s poverty - when mothers are poor, children are too. Tackling barriers to work, improving Social Security, and lowering the cost of essentials are key to change. Read our new report. www.wbg.org.uk/publication/...
