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

No more oil and gas

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