The government is legally obliged to write a new climate plan by autumn 2025. But there's a real risk this plan will fail to deliver the bold action urgently needed to protect both people and planet.
Over the next few months, as a draft plan is developed, we’ll be building public support, working with communities, and calling on MPs to back a bold and fair climate plan that delivers for everyone.
On 9 July more than 35 local action groups took part in a mass lobby alongside thousands of others from across the UK. Our groups called on MPs to back a bold and fair climate plan.
The government is expected to publish a new climate plan by the end of October. But the plan won’t be bold or fair unless we keep up the pressure.
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. We need to make sure it's a bold and fair climate plan.

Fairness in climate policy
We’re advocating for fairness in the government’s new climate plan.
Fairness demands greater equality of access to transport, warm homes and decent livelihoods. It means the costs of the transition falling on the people and countries with the broadest shoulders.
Find out what fairness looks like in climate policy by reading our report "The Fairness Test: a mandate for bold climate policy".
