Why engage your local politicians?

We’re all doing our part to reduce climate change and protect nature, but policy swaps are needed to benefit communities and the planet.

Your local MP has the power to swap old ways for better ways through legislative change to make our communities cleaner and greener.

For example, you could ask your local politician to swap fossil fuel subsidies for renewable energy investment. Or you could show them that your community would love to see better access to public transport – swapping cars for buses or bikes.

You can ensure all our key decision makers are well-informed about climate and nature issues, and aware that public support for action is both massive and mainstream.

Great Big Green Week is a powerful example of the broad and diverse support for action, and we can work together for good with our political representatives to bring about significant wins for people, climate and nature.
