Learn more about the UK Climate & Nature Bill
Here is a full briefing for you, why it’s important to all of us today, and ways you can get involved …
The UK’s Climate & Nature Bill will help tackle climate & ecological emergencies via an integrated & cross-party approach: It’s significant because it requires the Secretary of State to implement a strategy to achieve targets. It would establish a climate and nature assembly to advise in strategy creation.
The bill was introduced by Roz Savage (Lib Dem) 16 October 2024 & adjourned until 11 July 2025: t’s unlikely to be debated again. Following adjournment, Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband issued a promise to work to the “spirit and substance” of the bill—”including for legislation” – to “make a meaningful difference” for climate and nature.
