Bracknell Forest Council given £425k to cut emissions in schools The new funding follows the council’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 through its latest climate change strategy Bracknell Forest Council has been awarded £425,000 to decarbonise schools. The funding has been awarded through the Salix Green financing scheme and will allow the council to refurbish schools in the area, reducing their carbon emissions and energy usage. The funding follows the council’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 through its latest climate change strategy. Cllr Peter Heydon, Executive Member for Transformation and Finance, said: “This funding award will allow Bracknell Forest Council to install energy efficiency measures across our maintained schools and will help kick start our work on energy efficiency and the use of low carbon power sources, supporting the development of green skills and jobs in the borough. ....
The study was a collaboration between researchers at University College London, Kings College London, and Swansea University. Seagrasses as climate change superheroes Nature-based solutions are essential to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis, and seagrasses are highly suitable candidates for the job. While they cover only 0.1% of the ocean floor worldwide, seagrasses are one of the largest global carbon sinks, storing carbon in marine soils many times faster than terrestrial forests. Healthy seagrasses also support marine biodiversity, including commercially important (such as bass) and charismatic species (such as seahorses), and provide ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, increasing shoreline stability, and supporting coastal livelihoods. But different human activities, such as industrial, agricultural, and coastal development, have led to worldwide declines. ....
