It’s on! 6 weeks from now people across the UK will go to the polls to choose their next government in what will be one of the most important elections in a generation.
Our natural world is in a precarious state. Last year’s State of Nature report revealed catastrophic declines in wildlife, with 1 in 6 species at risk of extinction from Britain. Less than a decade ago, the same study found that 1 in 10 species were threatened with extinction. Put bluntly, nature is in freefall.
In 2022 the UK endured its first ever 40°C day. The Climate Change Committee, who advise the UK Government on climate, have since cautioned that the UK has lost its position as a global leader on climate, and that policy development and implementation continues to be too slow.
