Net Zero Strategy

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.

Planet over Profit

Our local group Manchester Friends of the Earth talked to 100s of Coldplay gig-goers about our Planet over Profit campaign.

We're asking for a new law to hold companies to account for the damage their supply chains cause to communities and habitats overseas.

Working with campaigners from Indonesia, Malaysia and the Netherlands, we're talking directly to big business. And companies like Unilever are listening.

Postcode gardeners

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.

Our three pilot projects have been such a success, that with our partner The Co-operative Bank we're now planning many more Postcode Gardeners, in areas that need to be greened the most.

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.

The environment is at grave risk – which protections are under threat?
Our rivers and seas are full of sewage but instead of cleaning them up, the UK government want to unravel the rules that protect the environment. If we want safeguard people and nature, we need to keep these legal protections in place. Find out what’s at risk.
