fair and safe future for all. Our campaign - Climate change destroys lives. Let's face it, was a huge success, with over 10,000 people joining. Most importantly, Oxfam, through our climate hearings programme, put the faces and voices of those already feeling the devastating effects of climate change at the heart of our campaigning work and on the climate change agenda.

The 'according' word is important because the HSE uses a different method of counting and arrives at different (lower) figures according to reports. Oops, there's that 'according' word again.
