What you can do about climate change

We can stop catastrophic climate change. We know what causes it, we have the technologies to prevent it, and there's a rapidly growing understanding of just how urgent the need for action is.

All that's missing is the action itself.

The government needs to put in place meaningful policies to urgently reduce emissions - and to act on them immediately. We need your help to persuade them. Together, we can stop climate chaos.

Energy revolution

Start a green energy revolution

Ed Miliband's new job as head of the department for climate change and energy could, potentially, mean we have hope for real, decisive action on climate. Send a letter to Miliband, encouraging him to start a green energy revolution and say no to a new coal plant at Kingsnorth in Kent.

Green fuels? Yes please!

The government wants to increase the amount of biofuels we use but haven't set any decent standards to ensure they don't cause deforestation, threaten food supplies, or make climate change even worse. Fortunately, they want to know what we think about biofuels, so tell them to get it right.

Demand biofuels that really are green
