People and planet are under threat

Nature is in crisis. Climate change is driving record-breaking heatwaves, raging wildfires and devastating floods, leaving destruction in its wake. Meanwhile, forests are torn down, oceans are polluted and precious ecosystems are pushed to the brink, as faceless corporations rip through biodiverse habitats and communities for profit.

For the world’s most vulnerable, these events mean losing homes, livelihoods and even lives. This crisis isn’t just an environmental issue – it’s a human one. And with every passing day, as governments clamp down on the rights of those raising the alarm and aim to silence us, the window for action narrows.

We can’t afford to wait. Together, we must stand up for people and planet here and around the world.

Your support powers change

With your help, we stand at the forefront of the fight against climate and environmental breakdown. From standing with local communities fending off fracking to taking the government to court on its weak response to climate change, we've achieved monumental wins. And there’s so much more to do.

Your support helps us catalyse local groups campaigning for greener, fairer communities. It allows our legal team to use the law to hold polluters accountable and take them to court. And it means we can fund groundbreaking research into the solutions our planet desperately needs.

What our supporters have helped achieve

Our supporters are our lifeline. Knowing that we have a reliable, long-term source of income allows us to plan more effectively and respond more efficiently to the enormous challenges we face.

Together with our supporters, we’ve been able to:

✔️ launch the world’s first climate change law – the Climate Change Act 2008

✔️ lead the campaign to bring doorstep recycling to every home

✔️ secure a permanent ban on harmful pesticides to protect bees and wildlife

✔️ put a halt to a new, polluting deep coal mine in Cumbria

✔️ take to the streets to demand climate justice and stand up to racism

… among many other wins for people and planet. Will you be part of our next big win?

A safer and fairer future is within our grasp. Your generous donations will help us get there, together. Thank you so much.
