Time for the UK to lead on climate change

As the host of two global summits this year, the UK has a unique opportunity to boost climate action worldwide. But while the UK government claims to be a climate leader, many of its policies are taking us in the opposite direction. Tell Boris Johnson it's time to lead by example.

Take action

Tell Boris Johnson to protect forests before the Global Climate Conference

Call on Boris Johnson and his government to strengthen the Environment Bill – including banning all agricultural commodities linked to deforestation from entering the UK.

No more oil and gas

Instead of propping up the oil industry, the government should support workers to move into renewable energy.

Tell Tesco to stop doing deals with forest destroyers

Tesco buys meat from companies owned by Amazon rainforest destroyers, and sells chicken and pork fed on soya from deforested land elsewhere in Brazil. Tesco customers have the power to demand change. Tell Tesco’s CEO, Ken Murphy, to set Tesco on the right path.

Kwasi Kwarteng: Stop the brand new oil field

Cambo, a new North Sea oil project which will create climate pollution equal to 16 coal-fired power plants running for a year, looks to be moving ahead. Siccar Point Energy are ready to install drilling equipment at the site at first notice. Tell Kwasi Kwarteng to stop Cambo now.

Nicola Sturgeon: Side with Scottish workers and the climate, not oil bosses

Tell the government to fix the plastic waste crisis

The UK is sending our plastic recycling to other countries, and it's hurting people and wildlife.

Protect the right to protest
