Here are some actions you can take to help keep the UK at the forefront of fighting climate change.
There is currently a petition about Airport Expansion…..
More than 20 airports across the UK have expansion plans, which will result in a combined increase of 60%+ capacity. More flights means more emissions, at a time when we should be doing everything we can to reduce emissions and avert climate catastrophe.
More flights also mean more noise and air pollution, which is linked to poor physical and mental health for those living near airports.
The Climate Change Committee says there should be no net airport expansion unless aviation is outperforming its emission baselines. Local people and politicians oppose airport expansion plans, but central government can overrule their decisions.
We think airports are big enough. Stop airport expansion.
In June the Climate Coalition’s Great Big Green Week will take place and on the 9th July there is an opportunity to join the Climate Coalition’s Act Now, Change Forever Mass Lobby of Parliament.
Last but certainly not least, Zero Hour is asking people to sign an open letter to the PM to ask that the Climate and Nature Bill will be permitted emergency debate time when it returns to the House of Commons on July 11th.
This is an example of the letter being sent to Keir Starmer:
Dear Sir Keir Starmer,
We write as residents of Melksham and Devizes.
Nearly a year ago, you were elected on a promise of ‘change’. Yet, we have seen little progress, only broken pledges and missed opportunities.
In Melksham and Devizes, people face soaring food prices, cold homes, overstretched NHS services, and the destruction of our natural habitats, rivers, and green spaces.
You campaigned for a Britain ready to tackle 21st-century challenges, particularly the climate and nature crisis; a Britain that capitalises on the opportunities a just-led transition offers, and puts workers before profits.
At COP29, you acknowledged the risks of warming beyond 1.5°C—floods, economic instability, and threats to national security—while promising that a Labour Government would seize the opportunities of energy independence to boost living standards.
But, the UK is off track to meet its 2015 Paris and 2022 Montreal climate and nature commitments. And yet, vast amounts of public money is being spent on subsidies for unproven technologies that benefit major fossil fuel corporations more than communities and workers like us.
We risk losing the benefits of action: lower energy bills, warmer homes, thriving ecosystems, better public transport, and clean rivers and air. By failing our international pledges, you let down the most vulnerable people, including in Melksham and Devizes.
The Climate and Nature Bill, debated in Parliament in January 2025, offers a solution.
Crafted by leading scientists, it would make the UK’s climate and nature targets legally binding and actively involve communities in a fair way forward—driving transformative change, and creating a greener, fairer, more prosperous UK.
We know that tackling the climate and nature crisis will deliver REAL change for people across the UK—those disillusioned with politics, hit hard by the cost of living crisis, and worried about the future. We must rise to the challenge and call for action that puts people first—shaped by communities and designed to benefit the public, rather than large multinational corporations.
Yet despite the Energy Secretary’s promise to deliver the “spirit and substance” of the Bill, no action has followed.
On the 11th of July, the CAN Bill will return to the House of Commons, but is unlikely to progress without your Government’s support. With your 400-seat majority, you have the power to grant it emergency debate time and deliver the change you promised.
Prime Minister, we want REAL change for a better Britain. People in Melksham and Devizes want you to step up climate and nature action—not pull back.
Will you ensure the CAN Bill is allocated more time, debated and voted on in this parliamentary session?
