Brexit and the environment

Post-Brexit, what are the threats to the UK's environmental legislation, and how will Friends of the Earth campaign to protect climate and nature?

2019 witnessed floods, wildfires, mounting concern over the climate breakdown... and a General Election. What will 2020 hold for the fight against climate breakdown?

Amidst uncertainty over Brexit – and what the various outcomes may mean for the environment – campaigner Kierra Box explains what's missing from the government's proposed Environment Bill.

Speaking ahead of the extraordinary Saturday sitting of Parliament Craig Bennett, Friends of the Earth chief executive, said the Withdrawal Deal is a significant threat to the environment.

Whatever happens next, a no-deal Brexit must be taken off the table. Our health and environment depend on it.

Friends of the Earth is calling on party leaders to come together and take ‘no-deal’ off the table following Theresa May’s Brexit deal being rejected by parliament this evening (15 January).

Anyone who cares about the quality of our air, water and nature should be working to avoid a no-deal Brexit at all costs, says Craig Bennett.

Even with a deal, the signs aren’t great for our climate, nature or air. But a no deal would be disastrous.

The government has published 25 technical notices today laying out preparation for the so-called Brexit 'no-deal' scenario, still considered the most damaging outcome.
