BEAUTIFUL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER
The Climate Coalition is the UK’s largest group of people dedicated to action on the climate and nature crises. Along with our sister organisations Stop Climate Chaos Cymru and Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, we are a group of over 130 organisations — including the National Trust, Women's Institute, Oxfam, and RSPB — with a combined supporter base of 20 million.
We bring together our members and partners to become more than the sum of our parts. Together, we are able to mobilise our collective memberships and supporters, millions of ordinary people, to become an unstoppable political force.
More and more of us are feeling the effects of climate change in our everyday lives, and seeing the devastating impacts on what we love. In the UK and abroad, we’re seeing the impacts of floods, fires and storms alongside spiralling costs of living. The urgency to act has never been greater. But we have hope, because the solutions to the climate crisis already exist.
Through our campaigns, we show that people across the UK support a safer, greener future. We want the next generation, at home and abroad, to benefit from a better future than the one we currently face. We are asking the UK Government and decision makers to deliver on its promises to protect us, people around the world and the next generation.
Together we’ve already achieved so much; from reaching millions with our annual Show the Love campaign; to the campaign that led to the UK becoming the first major economy to set a legally binding net zero target; to making history at the biggest ever mass lobby for climate, nature and people.
Every year, we gather together for the Great Big Green Week, a celebration of action to tackle the climate and nature crises which saw more than a quarter of a million people take part in 2022.
We are led by a small and dynamic central secretariat team working closely in partnership with our coalition members. Meet the team here.
OUR STRENGTH IS IN OUR MEMBERS. TOGETHER WE ARE 20 MILLION STRONG.
OUR VISION
Our vision is for a country and a world where children walk to school breathing fresh air instead of dangerous fumes, and where their parents think about the future with hope instead of fear.
We want brilliant engineers, builders, and scientists to roll out the solutions that will make our homes and cars safer, cleaner and cheaper to run. We want to hold our heads high in the knowledge that the UK is doing its fair share to stop climate change, and helping the hardest-hit. We want to look at our mountains, forests and seas with wonder, not worry.
OUR ASKS
The British public has never been so concerned about climate change and the destruction of nature. But we’ve also never been more hopeful about our power to tackle it. People all over the UK are ready and willing to make the changes we need to slow down climate change and bring nature and wildlife back to its full glory.
Now we need the government to step up to the challenge. Science tells us that this is a make-or-break decade for the planet we live on. Time is short, and we’re running out of patience for more warm words. Instead, this must be a decade of delivery. We call on the Prime Minister, Chancellor and every government minister to rise to their historic responsibility to keep people safe, the climate stable, and nature protected.
FOR CLIMATE
Make the UK’s homes warmer, bills cheaper, and air cleaner by urgently increasing energy efficiency and replacing polluting fossil fuel energy with affordable renewables.
FOR PEOPLE
Stick to the British value of fairness by supporting the people hit hardest by floods, droughts and other climate disasters around the world, and who are least responsible for the crisis.
FOR NATURE
Protect and restore the UK’s priceless forests, rivers and moors so they’re there for future generations. Expand our green spaces to help keep the climate stable and allow nature to thrive in our wild and farmed places.
