We've received the Gov's response to our pre-action letter on its disastrous "Covid Recovery" programme.
They're denying the Paris Agreement is a relevant consideration (here we go again ...)
We've asked for permission to publish it and expect to be able to do so by tomorrow.

Another day, another devastating headline - but things don't have to be this way!
The UK government can help prevent this with new laws requiring companies to cut deforestation out of their supply chains. #ActForTheAmazon fal.cn/39FfS

BREAKING: Today we've served the Government with a Pre-Action Protocol letter over its disastrous bail-outs for business-as-usual.
@BorisJohnson is following neither the science nor economics, just his corporate sponsors. We can't let this happen:

Governments know what needs to be done but they're not doing it. We're being sacrificed to their corporate gods. It's the most basic breach of the social contract, conferring a right (and duty) of revolution:

Biden to Call for $2 Trillion in Spending on Clean Energy #ClimateJustice bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
A new report from @UK100_ suggests that a further £5bn of ‘kickstart’ investment from the UK government in energy efficiency projects could unlock £100bn of private capital investment and create 300k new jobs #buildbackbetter #greenrecovery uk100.org/wp-content/uploads…
Energy efficiency home improvements are not the cheapest way to reduce emissions. The gov’s £2bn fund will save c.0.5m tonnes of CO2 p.a. A cost of c.£200-£250/tonne saved, about twice the cost of a new large solar farm. Thanks to @ChrisGoodall2 for the maths #BuildBackBetter

Climate charity @PlanB_earth of Heathrow expansion fame are threatening legal action against the UK government’s COVID recovery strategy on the basis that funding set aside for a green recovery is less than bailouts for climate-wrecking projects and industries #buildbackbetter

Jamaica has become the first Caribbean nation to submit a tougher climate action plan under the Paris Agreement by adding targets for forestry and stepping up curbs on greenhouse gas emissions from energy. climatechangenews.com/2020/0…
The Green Community were underwhelmed with @BorisJohnson New Deal’ COVID recovery strategy. @RishiSunak has gone some way to alleviate concerns today but there is a long way to go is.gd/eWdjOx #buildbackbetter #greenrecovery #greeneconomy

Boris Johnson is spending less on this 'New Deal' than we did on TWO aircraft carriers.
Looks like Boris hasn't done his homework.
