The government is legally obliged to write a new climate plan. But there's a real risk this plan will fail to deliver the bold action urgently needed to protect both planet and people.
Over the next few months, as the government prepares to publish a draft climate plan, we’ll be ramping up our efforts to make sure the government delivers a climate plan that slashes emissions and benefits people.
In March, groups around the UK will meeting with their MPs to hand in petitions and discuss why fairness must be a central pillar of the climate plan.
Demand a Big Climate Plan that delivers not just a greener future, but a fairer one too.
We need a Big Climate Plan
We know people power works. Thanks to mass support of our campaign for a Climate Change Act in 2008, the UK became the first country to set legally binding national climate targets.
But the last government's plans to actually meet these targets were found to be unlawful. We know because we’ve exposed the government in court over their inadequate plans. Twice. The judge has ordered a new climate plan by May 2025. We need to make sure it's a bold and fair climate plan.
Build community support
Over winter we’re collecting petition signatures from our community to demonstrate public support for a bold and fair climate plan. We’ll prepare to hand in our petitions in March and ask our MPs to support a bold and ambitious climate plan.
Here’s how you can use a petition to build support for The Big Climate Plan and prepare to hand it in.
