WE ALL HAVE A WAY WE #ShowTheLove.
WHAT’s YOURS?

For ten years, The Climate Coalition has united communities behind the power of green hearts every February. Show The Love has grown public support for climate action through local events, heartfelt conversations and green heart craftivism in every corner of the country. 

In this election year and critical decade for our planet, we need to show political candidates that we are a nation of green hearts, united by our desire to see urgent action to tackle climate change and protect nature. 

Help us kickstart a year of action. Share why you are taking action for the people and places you love. 

People across the UK are already taking action for the people and places they love. Help us to show the scale of support for urgent action to protect climate and nature. Share what you love and how you #ShowTheLove by taking action to protect it. 

We believe stories are powerful. Every action we take together is a story that can inspire others and spark more actions. Throughout 2024 we will bring these stories of hopeful action together to demonstrate to politicians that we are a nation of green hearts.
