83% of people in the UK think the government should do more to tackle climate change.
Yet political commitments as they currently stand mean we're failing to meet both domestic goals, and our obligations to support those across the world to tackle the impacts of the climate crisis.
People across the UK are already taking action to tackle climate change and protect nature. It’s time for politicians from all political parties to follow suit and commit to ambitious action ahead of the UK general election and in this critical decade for our planet.
This year, there is a real opportunity to remind our politicians and candidates how much people, nature and climate change matter to the public.

Engage your local politicians during
Great Big Green Week
Face-to-face meetings and events are one of the most effective ways to communicate with politicians, so if you’re hosting events as part of the Great Big Green Week, these are a great opportunity to talk to your candidates about climate and nature and why taking action is so important to your community.
By inviting your candidates and councillors to your event, you can showcase what is already happening in your community, and let them know that you want to see more action from them.

Show people in your community - from your parliamentary candidates to your neighbours - that you want to see action for people, climate and nature by putting up our printable poster in your window.
Have conversations with your candidates
Talking to your parliamentary candidates is an important opportunity to show that communities want to see ambitious action for people, nature and climate right from the start. Having conversations with your parliamentary candidates before the election means that you can get to know them and build a relationship with them before they are in office, and move issues higher up their agenda.
Here you can find written resources and online training sessions to support you to have these conversations.
Training sessions:
📅 Friday 7th June 2024, 12:30-1:30pm
📅 Wednesday 19th June 2024, 6:30-7:30pm

Organise a local hustings
By hosting a husting with your parliamentary candidates for the General Election, you can start to build relationships with your future MP, let candidates know that the climate is an important issue locally, and start holding your candidates to account.

Here you can find written resources and online training sessions to support you to organise local hustings.
