After 5 years of drought, Tehran's total rainfall this year was just 1mm.
President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that Tehran's water supply could be rationed, and even spoke earlier this month of evacuating the city - unlikely to be feasible but underlining the seriousness of the country's water crisis

Unless the funding is replaced *in full* in the government's Warm Homes plan, this will be a disaster for climate action, fuel poverty and jobs.

⚠️ The Warm Homes Plan must plug this gap
The government must urgently set out how ECO will be replaced in the Warm Homes Plan, before jobs are lost due to uncertainty & homes are left cold, damp and hard to heat. It also needs a clear roadmap for achieving both climate & fuel poverty targets.

💵 Less money for fuel poor
Without ECO, the UK is left without a large scale fuel poverty scheme. While £1.5bn is promised under the Warm Homes Plan, it’s a downgrade on the £6.4bn ECO would have spent in the same period. For households this scheme would have supported, this is a huge loss.

ECO supports thousands of jobs across Britain, particularly in Scotland. This includes retrofit experts and installers who are vital to ensuring everyone lives in a warmer, safer home. This move will cost jobs and could undermine the UK’s ambitions to improve cold, drafty homes.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO), an insulation scheme funded through energy bills, has been scrapped.
The latest version faced structural issues and needed an overhaul, but ECO has run for over a decade, supporting a steady supply chain for retrofit businesses.
So, what does this mean?

Increasing noise pollution and air pollution for Londoners?
The UK faces many challenges. Heathrow expansion is not the answer to any of them - and is insanity in a climate crisis.
