Across the UK, people are already acting to protect what we love – restoring nature, improving homes, strengthening communities and creating secure jobs in clean industries.

This year, that spirit was visible everywhere. Over 1.2 million people took part in Great Big Green Week 2025, joining nearly 6,000 local events – from repair cafés and tree plantings to nature walks and community orchards. And in July, 5,000 people signed up to meet their representatives in Westminster for the Mass Lobby, meeting 200 MPs to show that protecting people, climate and nature is a shared priority across the country.

Now, our progress is under threat. The Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, has pledged to repeal the UK’s Climate Change Act – the cornerstone of 15 years of cross-party progress on climate and nature, including efforts which have already halved UK emissions. It’s an extreme proposal that reflects how the long-standing cross-party consensus on climate action is beginning to fracture. And it doesn’t reflect public opinion or the shared leadership that has made the UK a global example.

We’ve come too far to turn back. This is the moment for MPs of all parties to protect our progress and stand for people, climate and nature. Will you speak up?

Read the guide and send your message 👉

Whatever their party, MPs need to hear that people in every constituency want practical, fair and forward-looking action – not rollbacks. (Is your MP attending the National Emergency Briefing on 27 November – see https://www.nebriefing.org/ )

The Climate Coalition has created tailored, easy-to-use guidance to help you contact your MP, whether you’re following up from Lobby Week, continuing a Mass Lobby conversation, or getting back in touch. The guide includes:

• Clear examples and local framing for MPs, whether they’re supportive, cautious or opposed to climate action.
• Template messages and talking points linking climate action to fairness, local jobs and thriving communities.

Every message helps. You’ve already shown what local leadership looks like – from volunteers restoring nature to local businesses investing in clean energy – now let’s make sure MPs match that commitment in Parliament.

Together, we can protect what we love, defend the Climate Change Act, and keep the UK moving forward toward a fairer, healthier, safer future.
