Introduction

We are a campaign group working with local MPs and councils to ensure policies on climate change and ecological breakdown follow the science. Currently we are focused on campaigning for the Climate & Nature Bill to pass into law. The bill is already attracting huge support. If adopted, it would transform the UK’s approach to tackling the climate and nature crisis.

Why we need the Climate and Nature Bill

The CAN bill is a parliamentary bill drawn up by scientists, academics and lawyers, and supported by a growing cross-party group of over 160 MPs along with many businesses. It’s not radical to want to restore nature and prevent our climate from becoming unsuitable for modern civilisation. The Bill would simply ensure that Government policy is brought into line with the latest scientific advice.

Our Facebook Feed

Many people have an ethical objection to using Facebook. We’d be the first to criticise the company for its unethical behaviour over recent years. But we also feel a responsibility to communicate via Facebook to help counter the misinformation spread on their platform by fossil fuel interests, and the unwillingness of mainstream media to communicate fully on the often complex but nonetheless vitally important subject of climate change.
