The Big Climate Plan
The government published its climate plan in October 2025, but is it up to the task? Over the last year, we've been campaigning for a bold and fair climate plan that sets out how the government will deliver the action urgently needed to protect both planet and people.
Find out what's in the plan, what's missing and what needs to happen next in our climate plan guide.
We’ve also been advocating for fairness to be at the heart of climate action. Fairness means greater equality of access to warm homes, transport and decent livelihoods – and ensuring the costs of the transition fall on those with the broadest shoulders. Read The fairness test, our report about what we think fair climate action looks like in practice.
Planet over Profit
Behind much of the food we eat and products we consume are powerful companies who drive massive environmental and human destruction in places like the Amazon and Indonesian rainforests.
Friends of the Earth is campaigning with the Corporate Justice Coalition for a new UK law that’ll hold companies, banks and public bodies to account for any socially and environmentally damaging impacts caused by their activities, and ensure they are held liable when harm occurs.
Find out more about how you and your group can hold companies to account for damage they cause.
United for Warm Homes
Sky-high gas prices and heat-leaking homes mean millions of us are worried we won’t be able to keep our homes warm. Meanwhile, oil and gas companies continue to make record-breaking profits.
We have the solutions to cut bills and emissions. But we need decision makers to act now.
Find out how your group can campaign for warm homes locally.
Local climate action
We need our local leaders to deliver ambitious action for climate and nature. Regional mayors and councils both have powers and resources to deliver change, but most aren’t using these as effectively as they should. And government needs to scale up the powers and resources they have.
Together, we can influence local and combined authorities to transform their communities into fairer, more sustainable places for generations to come.
Right to a healthy environment
The state of our rivers and coastlines has made headline news in recent months.
Shockingly, it's not yet illegal for water companies and factory farms to discharge their waste into our rivers.
Join the campaign and demand the right to a healthy environment.
Fossil free future
Across the world we are seeing the devastating impacts of climate breakdown because of our reliance on coal, gas and oil.
But communities have been standing up to the fossil fuel giants and our government’s support of them. We can all play our part in ending support for fossil fuels at home and abroad. We've already had some brilliant successes, but we've still got a long way to go.
Find out more about how you and your group can get involved to help put an end to UK government support for fossil fuels.
