Friends of the Earth is campaigning for the UK government to deliver on its new climate plan, ensuring it slashes carbon emissions and helps protect people and the planet, not the profits of fossil fuel companies. It’s time to make wealthy polluters pay more - and build a better future for everyone.

Our planet is getting dangerously hot, dangerously fast due to harmful carbon emissions. It’s increasingly likely that global temperatures will have broken the 1.5 °C threshold by 2030. Fossil fuel companies have profited from causing this crisis by hooking people on an expensive, dirty energy system, based on oil and gas. We’re having to deal with the impacts of fossil fuels on increasing global temperatures and skyrocketing energy bills – while those responsible continue to profit and pollute.
Our climate campaigning team is pushing for the government’s new climate plan to benefit everybody, by delivering bold climate action fairly, meeting its 2030 targets and exceeding its carbon-reduction targets. To do this, we’ll raise public awareness, speak alongside thousands of supporters and over 200 of our local groups, and work with other organisations. We’ll also push the government to make wealthy polluters pay more for the damaging crisis they’ve caused.
