Latest news:
Hammersmith Bridge has been closed to motor traffic for five years today. Politicians of all parties routinely make big promises about getting traffic flowing again. However, nobody wants to foot the bill. The reality is that cars won’t be coming back any time soon. The question is: would that be such a bad thing?
Today, over a dozen organisations have joined us in writing to the UK government to raise our concerns about the ban on onshore wind. The ongoing de facto ban on onshore wind projects is standing in the way of the UK achieving its vital climate targets, and preventing households across the country from accessing cheap, secure energy.
Over 100 organisations have now signed up our Climate Perks scheme, meaning they’ll give their staff paid ‘journey days’ on top of annual leave for flight-free travel. Employers who have signed up include architects, accountants, legal firms, NGOs, the government’s own climate advisors, and more…
A positive solution for clean, cheaper home heating is within reach. If our politicians act now, the UK could keep homes warm and heating bills down, with locally produced clean energy.
The people of Paris want cleaner, greener streets. And by voting for action against SUVs in Sunday’s city-wide referendum, they’ve taken a huge step towards that vision. If it can happen in Paris, it can happen here!
The vast majority of Premier League journeys can be made by coach in under four and a half hours. Yet some of the top teams are choosing to use private jets - driving up carbon emissions and threatening our progress to creating the zero carbon Britain we need. So we’re taking action to tackle football’s flight problem - will you help?
We’re winding down for a rest at the end of another huge year of climate action, but before we do - we wanted to look back at everything we’ve achieved together in 2023.
Our lawyers have just filed formal complaints about British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. They are misleading the public about their environmental actions, downplaying the harm they’re causing to our climate, and pretending they can meet emissions targets without cutting back on flights. This is slowing down progress towards a zero carbon Britain, and we’re not having it.
When Rishi Sunak scrapped the phaseout date for new petrol and diesel car sales last month, we saw an ugly yet familiar narrative raising its head - the myth that action against high carbon vehicles is an attack on the poor.
We crunched the numbers and found this isn’t the case. In fact, when it comes to greenhouse gases, it's the complete opposite.
London's getting a new Thames crossing - we think it should be car-free. See our proposals for a car-free, toll-free crossing which is good for Londoners, good for our air quality, and good for our climate.
