Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

1/ We were thrilled to see 50+ MPs and Peers at the Overlapping Illness Alliance drop-in last week.
Thanks to your emails, nearly 80% of MPs got an invite, one even said it was the most letters they'd ever had about an event. Your support genuinely made a difference.
