In case it needs saying: we're seeing the climate crisis unfold in real time. It's a preventable crisis we and one we're not prepared for. The government must urgently strengthen its national adaptation plan to protect those most impacted by extreme weather. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In partnership with The Co-operative Bank, we're funding Postcode Gardeners in communities across the UK, to green up their spaces in the way they want. John Pickles is a Postcode Gardener's helping to create healthier and greener streets in Hull. 👇 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg4wx2l4z4qo

For many disabled people, heatwaves are a threat to life, dignity and safety. The main reason is not their health condition, impairment or neurodivergence. It's a government failure to make buildings where disabled people live, work and receive medical care safe in a warming climate. foe.uk/ttwsm

Yesterday Friends of the Earth joined Indigenous leaders from rainforest territories, alongside partners from the NGO Forest Coalition, outside Parliament to open London Climate Action Week. Our message: the people protecting the world's rainforests must be at the centre of climate action. 🧵👇

This Refugee Week we’re standing in solidarity with refugees and migrants. A safer, fairer, greener future can only be built when we recognise that our struggles are connected. 🧵👇 @counterpoints.org.uk @refugeeaction.bsky.social @refugeecouncil.bsky.social

Electric cars are cheaper to drive than petrol and diesel, will soon be cheaper to buy, and are vital to cutting carbon emissions and air pollution. The government must do more to help UK industry make high-quality EVs, rather than keeping the it hooked on outdated technology. shorturl.at/J26Zz

This Refugee Week, we’re standing in solidarity with refugees and migrants.🧡 We'll be sharing our chief executive’s message of welcome and joining our local action groups at Refugee Week events. We're also taking part in #SimpleActs to stand with refugees and make new connections in our communities.

We’re at the Supreme Court in London today to stand up for everyone’s right to take environmental cases to court without the fear of paying unaffordable legal bills. ✊ 🧵👇

Nature should not be a luxury. We all deserve a future where nature can thrive. The government must stop weakening nature protections and act faster to restore nature before it's too late. Demand action here: https://foe.uk/z862e https://shorturl.at/WCKST

“Cutting carbon emissions is vital to help avert the worst impacts of climate change, but it’s also our best opportunity to grow the economy, create jobs, deliver cheap homegrown energy and improve lives with warmer homes, better bus services and cleaner air." - Mike Childs, FoE. shorturl.at/IeiDj

“The numbers speak for themselves. At a time when our economy and jobs market are faltering, green industries are employing more than a million people in well-paid jobs while generating enormous economic benefits.” - Sandra Bell, Friends of the Earth. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🚨 Stop secret corporate courts 🚨 The fossil fuel industry should never be able to stand in the way of a cleaner future. As long as ISDS courts exist, companies can threaten climate action everywhere. 🧵👇 #climateaction #climatecrisis #coalmine #secretcorporatecourts #whitehaven

Tony Blair has called for the UK to row back on the green transition, in a week where we've seen the hottest May day on record and heard energy bills are set to shoot up again. But with his organisation's links to petrostates and tech-billionaires, are we really surprised? 🫠 #climatecrisis #netzero

For millions in the UK, heatwaves aren't just uncomfortable - they're life-threatening. Climate justice means disability justice – any real response to climate breakdown must put those on the frontline of climate breakdown first. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The world is getting hotter and will continue to get dangerously warm without urgent action. If farmers can't grow food, water runs short, and our homes are too hot, the implications will be immense. It's time we do more to curb climate emissions, not less. https://shorturl.at/6rFDh

Today’s news that energy prices are set to soar once again will come as a fresh blow to the millions of us already struggling with the rising cost of living. Meanwhile, the fossil fuel giants - who’ve posted bumper profits – are raking it in and laughing all the way to the bank. shorturl.at/rF5x0

“While the use of air conditioning is likely to rise, it is energy-intensive and expensive to run so should be prioritised for those who need it most. Critically though, it must be powered by green energy and not fossil fuels.” - Mike Childs, Friends of the Earth. shorturl.at/iO5BG

The idea that countries should have a legal responsibility to take action on climate breakdown shouldn't be controversial. It's great to see the UK join with countries on the frontlines of the climate crisis to vote in favour of this resolution. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Join us in our call for justice for communities affected by polluted rivers and rainforest ecosystems in the Ecuadorian Amazon. @udapt.bsky.social #indigenouscommunities #protectnature #pollution #amazonrainforest

Every aspect of UK life is already being affected by worsening weather extremes. If the government doesn’t strengthen its plans for adapting to climate breakdown, then the most marginalised in our society will continue to pay the highest price. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

To break free from our dependence on fossil fuels we must rapidly roll out homegrown renewable energy – which is cheaper than oil and gas – alongside insulating homes. This is how we can permanently lower bills and shield people from another energy price crisis. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/m...

We're delighted this damaging scheme has now been formally rejected. Ministers are expected to outline plans soon to 'ban fracking for good'. If they are serious about protecting communities this ban must include all forms of the practice, including proppant squeeze. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We're proud to have joined tens of thousands this past Saturday to stand in solidarity against the ongoing genocide and occupation in Palestine.

People are being warned not to swim at most of England’s designated river bathing sites as many of our rivers are contaminated with bacteria linked to human and animal faeces. Clean water shouldn’t be a luxury. 🧵👇 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

People are already being squeezed at the pumps while the ultra-rich carry on guzzling fuel with their private jets. The government should ease pressure on fuel supplies fairly and help protect what will be many hard-working families’ only holiday this summer." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We spent this past Wednesday celebrating our incredible donors 💚 We managed to speak to lots of you on the phone and wrote around 1500 postcards - all to say THANK YOU for your amazing support.

There’s been a significant change in politics after the recent elections, but what hasn’t shifted is the urgent need for bold action to combat the climate, nature and cost of living crises. 🧵👇

Inconsistencies in these figures from developers, alongside recent revelations about the government’s own inaccurate estimates, underscore how important it is that ministers get a handle on the environmental consequences of AI policy. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"The answer is clear: strengthen the windfall tax on these indefensible profits and break our dependence on fossil fuels by powering our economy with homegrown renewables." - Danny Gross, climate campaigner at Friends of the Earth. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great news 🎉 – on Friday North Yorkshire Council’s planning committee voted that it was ‘minded to reject’ the application for fracking near Scarborough. This is a very strong step in the right direction and a big win for local people who stood up to protect their community.

Fracking raises its ugly head again… this time through a loophole in the UK government’s temporary ban. North Yorkshire Council’s planning committee are deciding on an application for fracking in Burniston, near Scarborough. We’re here to say NO to all forms of fracking.
