When it comes to tackling climate breakdown, it can feel overwhelming to think about the scale of the problem. How can we really change the way things are?
A general election is coming and it’s our best shot at securing serious climate action – this year and in the years to come, whoever leads the next government.
It’s a unique opportunity to set the agenda, and collectively push our future leaders – from local MPs to government ministers – so they step up for a fairer, cleaner and healthier future.
Imagine waking up after the election with a government that knows it needs to act on things like cleaner rivers, better bus services, or lowering energy bills by moving away from expensive oil and gas towards cheaper, cleaner renewables.
The policies to make all of that a reality, and secure a safe and liveable planet for us all, are ready to go, and popular. A brighter future for all is within our grasp if our politicians see that the public demands them.
1. Pledge to be a Climate Voter
Project Climate Vote is our plan to push the next government, whoever it is, to take the climate crisis seriously. And you can be part of it!
Climate voters pledge to vote with climate in mind, and hold politicians to account on their climate promises – now, at the election and in future. A vote for climate is a vote for warmer homes, lower bills, more jobs and a stronger economy.
