Our expert panel will propose how we can beat the climate and nature emergencies
| Hello reader,
On Tuesday 12 March, join me for a livestreamed event with a team of environmental experts including Tessa Khan, the executive director of Uplift; Chaitanya Kumar, head of environment and green transition at The New Economics Foundation; and Shaun Spiers, executive director of Green Alliance. Ahead of the UK general election, we’ll be drafting a dream environmental manifesto and we’d love your input. Book your tickets here.
The climate emergency is the biggest threat to civilisation we have ever faced. But there is good news: we already have almost every tool we need to beat it. The challenge is now rolling out the solutions with great speed. While there’s still a long way to go, we’ve made important progress: fossil fuel consumption is at its lowest since 1957, renewable energy prices have plunged, and investment in green innovation is rising fast.
The race for a sustainable, low-carbon future is on, and at this pivotal moment, putting the environment at the core of government policy is more critical than ever. What action should we demand from our next government on energy and transport? From rewilding to transforming the farming and fishing industry, how do we protect our natural environment? And what does a green economy actually look like?
I do hope you can join us to share your ideas. Book your tickets here.
