The Net Zero Strategy is the government's plan to reduce the UK’s climate emissions. In 2022 we won a key court case that made the government rewrite the strategy because it wasn’t good enough.
We’ve seen the new plan, and so have the government’s own climate advisors, and neither of us think it'll enable the UK to meet our climate targets. So we’re taking the government to court again, because it's crucial that the plan sets out exactly how we're going to cut emissions.

People want healthier and greener streets, for better health and better mood, but they often lack the time or skills to maintain planting.
That’s where a Postcode Gardener can help, employed to green up streets in one postcode area and bring neighbours together.

Bees are vital to a healthy environment and healthy economy, pollinating the vast majority of plants we rely on for food. But changes in climate may be disrupting bees’ nesting behaviour and their emergence after winter. It also means some plants are now flowering at different times to when bees are normally active.
Winter is the perfect time to buy a Bee Saver Kit and receive everything you need to ensure bees have food from trees and plants all year round.
We’re supporting a legal challenge brought by activist Sarah Finch against proposed oil drilling at Horse Hill, because the planning authority did not consider its full climate impact. If we win, it could affect other planned fossil fuel developments in the UK.
