#Oxfam on #Cop28 #Dubai draft text - " In response to the Global #Stocktake draft text released tonight, Nafkote Dabi, Oxfam International’s Climate Change Policy Lead, said:
“If this current text is adopted, #COP28 will be a scandal that has failed us all. It is unimaginably bad. Instead of committing to #Phase Out all #FossilFuels, it only talks about a #PhaseDown of #coal – and ignores #oil and #gas altogether. Any language on actually paying for the transition toward #renewables for low-income countries is missing too. Right now, people are dying because of catastrophic #climate breakdown in the Horn of #Africa and around the world. This current proposal from COP28 does nowhere near enough to prevent massive loss of life. In the coming hours, all countries must categorically refuse this fatally flawed document, and demand a text that reflects the true will of the people." https://www.oxfamamerica.org/press/press-releases/cop28-draft-text-a-scandal-that-has-failed-us-all/
#COP28 Happy to see @un Global #Stocktake Report telling world leaders lessons I've taught my students for years! #smallactionsbigdifference. #Consumers have immense power to generate or reduce #emissions. #Corporations can leverage their intangible assets for #sustainability!
Edinburgh peeps, we have our annual stock-take coming up, so we will be closed on Sunday 3rd September, and will re-open at 2pm on Monday 4th. Apologies for the inconvenience (we'd rather be selling the books than counting them!)

Spare a thought for all the small biz owners today who are tackling their yearly stocktake - send us some good vibes and positive encouragement! It's a bit of a slog, but it's also fun uncovering old friends. These two bottle-nose dolphins are leaping for joy at seeing the light of day! 🐬💦

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) was unable to produce #accounts of a sufficient standard to be audited by the National Audit Office.
No complete #stocktake was undertaken on the #Covid #PPE so it's impossible to know how much was wasted, but possibly up to £14.8bn. - https://on.ft.com/3wzbkcg via @FTAV
