What you can do about climate change

We can stop catastrophic climate change. We know what causes it, we have the technologies to prevent it, and there's a rapidly growing understanding of just how urgent the need for action is.

All that's missing is the action itself.

The government needs to put in place meaningful policies to urgently reduce emissions - and to act on them immediately. We need your help to persuade them. Together, we can stop climate chaos.

Make your town climate friendly

While the dinosaurs in Whitehall cling to our criminally wasteful energy system, pioneering local councils around the UK are transforming our energy system. Visit EfficienCity and then ask your local council to take the leap into a genuinely clean and efficient energy future.

New coal? No thanks!

The government is deciding whether to build the first new coal-fired generating units in the UK in over 30 years, potentially heralding a new coal rush. Write to John Hutton to ask for a public inquiry.

Tell our government to make the switch

Ireland is going to ban inefficient light bulbs - why can't we? Write to Joan Ruddock MP, the parliamentary under-secretary with special responsibility for climate change.

Stop Heathrow Expansion

Expanding Heathrow airport is crazy - if we are really serious about tackling climate change. Add your voice to the roar of those opposed to airport expansion.

 

Green fuels? Yes please!

The government wants to increase the amount of biofuels we use but haven't set any decent standards to ensure they don't cause deforestation, threaten food supplies, or make climate change even worse. Fortunately, they want to know what we think about biofuels, so tell them to get it right.
