UK Climate & Nature Bill
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.
Where are we at?
- Statement: Earlier this week Ed Miliband gave a very informative and balanced statement in Parliament: Watch it HERE and form your own view. Watch Roz Savage’s response HERE.
- Action group Zero Hour are actively campaigning to support the Climate & Nature Bill: on 15th July with a webinar to share what they’re achieved & ask for your support. Watch HERE or download slides HERE.
- What are we doing? We’re lobbying our MP Joshua Reynolds to promote and support Ed Miliband and Roz Savage in furthering the goals laid out in Ed Miliband’s statement to the House.
- What can you do?:
- Have a look at Zero Hour‘s website: updates & practical information, who’s supporting and much more that you can do and get involved in.
- To connect to other campaigners, organise a meeting with your MP, sign up here, and Net Zero will send you resources over the coming weeks
Last but not least: Continue to support and get involved with ECO Action WAM, with our calls to action, action plans, events, and help us by donating here … we’re all pulling towards the same goals.
Less Carbon, More Nature, Better Wellbeing!

Smart Energy Show Marlow April 5th 2025
The Smart Energy Show Marlow returns this April. We’ll have fresh exhibitors, a great quick-fire talks programme, and a new location with plentiful parking! All information here!
The key focus will again be on better energy management in buildings. This will include exciting renewable and electric technologies like solar panels, batteries, electric car-charging, heat pumps and other electrical home heating technologies, and smart energy controls. And, for anyone renovating or building afresh: energy retrofit assessment, fabric insulation and green building design.
With energy prices rising again, more government support available, and technologies improving, it is time to engage, even if you’ve already made some green energy changes in your life.
The Smart Energy Show Marlow 2025 takes place on Saturday 5 April at Great Marlow School, Bobmore Lane, Marlow SL7 1JE. Opening times are 10am to 4pm.
