Dear Barclays Organisers,
Acknowledging this very sad day.
It's the end of an era as Her Majesty enters the tunnel on the Elizabeth line as the Guardian's
Ben Jennings so wittily illustrates. The amazing woman of a feisty generation who fought for our future. Unlike my generation.
But perhaps King Charles III will bring the Terra Carta out of his pocket and shift our destiny.
The world is now on the brink of 5 disastrous tipping points. (Today's Guardian p 25) .IS ANYONE LISTENING?
WHERE IS LEADERSHIP ON THIS GLOBAL INCINERATION EVENT?
Please tell us by return of mail how quickly Barclays will be able to divest from fossil fuels. An industry that has disgracefully lied to humanity for fifty years.
Just as the CFC industry did. This nearly cost Life on Earth its ozone layer despite the brilliant whistleblowers (who were ignored for years).
Now humanity is again in deadly danger. Targets are out of date. The ship needs to turn without further delay if we are to Salvage and Survive. Those in power should be
activating us all. ALL HANDS ON DECK.
But this is NOT HAPPENING. Those in charge are drunk on old fossil. Appalling methanous products are still being exuded. Pakistan and other badly disadvantaged countries
want answers from the rich carbon-emitting countries ! Many of us are trying to contact the Carpathia! But 500 fossil liars were still invited to COP 26. While 10,000 activists were kettled outside.
I note that the diesel liars are now having to compensate those they fooled.
This overwhelming dreadful crime; Mother Nature being sacrificed to deadly industries is UNDISCUSSED. Candidates for Broadmoor are in charge, with our money. The Public
is unprotected. Plans are not in place for the wellbeing of us nor the unravelling ecosystems upon which we all depend.
But perhaps you will be discussing this although I can't see it mentioned here. Are you also broadcasting and discussing Sir Patrick's recent presentation to MPs? Sadly
only seen by 70 of them. Life on Earth being that unimportant.
Deadly energies have lied to us for fifty years. Unfortunately it's now the end game for life on
Earth unless we get a grip.
I look forward to hearing that Barclays is investing in ZERO FOSSIL FUELS, ZERO DEFORESTATION, ZERO
OCEAN DEATH products etc but in renewables, batteries, the dying world of nature, behavioural change and cultural shift to stop investing in death.
Please reassure me and those copied in here.
Many thanks,
Susan Chapman (Mrs)

Please
note my question for BCP Council for 13.9.22 Full Council below. I had attached it to the message of Sir Patrick:
I'd
like to ask a question in person at Full Council please.
Sir Patrick Vallance- EMERGENCY CLIMATE BRIEFING (email below)
I enclose very relevant information below which might help clarify the enormity of the threats to well-being we are now all facing. Sadly I have not heard back in person from any authority from those copied in on my email below which includes our new Prime
Minister. Unfortunately it seems she is not environmentally literate judging from the incendiary projects she is now backing when safer energy sources and more sensible means of survival on a failing planet are available. Our money is being used to fund our
destruction.
I object.
Carbon must be removed at speed and scale. Without delay.
We are all in great danger. This is unrealised by the public as no Public Information Programme has been released by Her Majesty's Government for our well-being and protection as planetary boundaries are exceeded and ecosystems unravel. Her Majesty's Government
must be held responsible for environmentally illiterate choices at a this most critical time of declared emergencies.
Disgracefully, only 5% of our representatives attended the briefing below.
Moreover I note the rubric herewith (Agenda item 6B) which includes aspirational responsibilities for our children yet fails to acknowledge the profound threats to their well-being as the chemistry of our home planet is altered beyond recognition. Speedy
action must be taken straight away if they are to survive:
3. Child First The national Youth Justice Board (YJB) promotes a vision of a “Child First youth justice system, defined as a system where all services: Prioritise the best interests of children and recognising their particular needs, capacities, rights and
potential. All work is child-focused, developmentally informed, acknowledges structural barriers and meets responsibilities towards children.
QUESTION FOR BCP FULL COUNCIL 13.9.22
Please let me know how quickly you can divest from the deadly fuels that have lied to humanity
for the last fifty years? Planet Earth has become a crime scene. Mother Nature is being sacrificed to the deadly industries that have lied to us about their destructive capabilities for fifty years. We watch in horror as the Global Incineration Event destabilises
our only home and note that Pakistan is demanding climate reparations from rich carbon- polluting countries.
Resource wars, hunger, extinctions, further loss and damage must be avoided. Project Drawdown and behaviour change must start now.
When will BCP's overdue Public Information Programme inform, motivate and
incentivise all citizens to protect and value the biosphere, without which we will not survive?

I sent this email over a month ago to DEFRA etc but hear nothing
UK government to hold back data on state of biodiversity in England
The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs has confirmed it will publish a reduced set of biodiversity indicators this year
ENVIRONMENT 1
August 2022
By Adam
Vaughan
The UK government has quietly decided against publishing more than two-thirds of the metrics it uses to track the health of nature in England this year, including the state of bird populations and fish stocks. The decision comes just months before a landmark
UN biodiversity summit in Canada.
New
Scientist revealed last year that the UK government would pause reporting on all biodiversity indicators in 2022 to allow for a review taking account of new targets considered by the
biodiversity summit.
The
decision this week, published as a footnote on the website of the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), means that, in an apparent compromise, seven of the 24 annual indicators tracking English biodiversity will be published this year
after all.
However, many of the omitted indicators, such as progress on tackling invasive species and the status of European habitats, previously showed a deteriorating natural environment.
Each indicator is composed of one or more measures scored on a traffic-light scale according to whether they are improving, showing little change or deteriorating. Among the indicators that will be skipped this year, 22 measures are green, six are amber and
19 are red, according to last year’s figures.
“This year’s limited set of indicators can’t cover up the story behind the numbers,” Richard Benwell at the Wildlife and Countryside Link coalition told the ENDS
Report, which first reported last week’s update. “Instead of rapid progress toward the recovery of species and habitats, we find that sites and species continue to decline.”
Conservationist Mark Avery, co-founder of non-profit organisation Wild Justice, says: “Defra is failing to tackle wildlife loss and so it has decided to bury the evidence. This is a department with no shame.”
The naturalist and broadcaster Chris Packham says: “Cherry-picking which ones is just cowardice. Claiming that they need a pause at a time of absolute crisis, that’s like saying we’ll stand down the fire brigade in the middle of the Blitz so we can pull ourselves
together and think about what we’re doing. It’s ludicrous. I think principally it’s because the news that will emerge is bad news.”
The indicators to be published this year are global biodiversity impacts, air pollution, protected areas, butterflies, pollinating insects, biodiversity expenditure and status of priority species.
In a statement, Defra said: “To enable Defra to do a necessary review, we are publishing a core set this year. But no data will be lost, it will all be published [in 2023].”
Between 5 and 17 December, Canada
will host the UN biodiversity summit in Montreal to thrash out a new deal on arresting the decline in nature worldwide, including a series of targets for 2030. Countries have previously
fallen far short of targets set for 2020.

‘We have the tools and knowhow required to limit warming,’ says IPCC chair Hoesung Lee
Scientists working for the world’s leading authority on climate change have warned that less than three years remain to bring global emissions into decline and avert a “catastrophic”
temperature rise.
The “now or never” call to action from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published on Monday, also urged for emission
levels to be slashed in half by 2030.
At a press conference, UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres called investing in new infrastructure relating to fossil fuels, which are behind the continuing rise in planet-heating greenhouse gases, “moral and economic madness”.

How Industry 4.0 is Driving Intelligent Sustainability
Using Tech for Good to Understand our Carbon Footprint.
Bournemouth University, Fusion Building, 52 Gillett Road, Poole, BH12 5BF
Thursday 15th September – 10:00am
to 12:00pm
In the 4th of our series of sustainability events we take a look at how we can be more environmentally friendly and do our part in reducing our carbon footprint through
the use of technology to have more intelligence and understanding of where we can be better.
We have 3 businesses who are using different tech to make a
difference which aligns with the 3 P's of People, Planet, Profit. We will hear
from each of them on what they are doing and how this is making a big
difference and how we can be using it.
If you would like to understand more on how you can be making a
difference and contributing to Net Zero then please book on to this event.

Climax Community
Climax Community is facilitating climate action by inviting businesses and public bodies to collectively reduce their carbon impact. Their innovative platform, Climate Essentials, enables multiple
stakeholders to measure, track, and reduce their carbon footprint quickly, easily and affordably.
They want to shift the narrative away from “offsetting our way to net zero”, to understanding the actions that are most impactful for carbon reduction. They will be discussing how tools like Climate
Essentials enable organisations to combat greenwashing, implement business-minded measures, create tangible climate strategies, and prove to stakeholders that carbon accounting can become the new “business as usual”.
