Climate change isn’t just charts and projections. It’s hundreds of UK plants flowering early in winter, right now, right outside. Once you notice it, you can’t unsee it. A visible signal of climate breakdown. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Looking back...in her article Why Every Community Matters, Naomi reflects on our work with communities on climate and planning. From art and community mapping projects in Hull

Earlier in the year in As if the climate mattered… we asked why, if most people want climate action, our planning system still fails to deliver the homes, energy and transport infrastructure we actually need.

One idea that stayed with us this year was our proposal for an Office for Empathy. It asked a simple question: what would decision-making look like if care, listening and lived experience were treated as essential, not optional?

As we look back on the year, one milestone we’re really proud of is the launch of our new website. It brings together our work on community rights, planning, democracy and the environment in one clear place and how to get involved. Take a look! www.rightscommunityaction.co.uk

Storm Floris barreled into Scotland in August with 134 mph winds & power cuts—an extreme event not expected in summer. Climate change is shifting the norms and our planning must catch up. Communities need stronger, climate-smart standards and powers in housing & infrastructure. #RightToPlan

Another week, another weather warning. Meanwhile, communities still lack the power to demand what they need to fight the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis. Why? Because current planning rules block councils from going beyond national standards — even in the face of the climate crisis....

Parliament may be in recess, but the Planning & Infrastructure Bill isn’t going anywhere. This legislation risks tearing down local democratic planning in favour of fast-track developments and centralised control - we need more community input, not less.

We had an amazing time at Stainsby Festival connecting with festival-goers, sharing stories, and talking about building power from the ground up. From powerful conversations to muddy boots and music in the air — it was grassroots activism at its finest.

“The End of Democratic Planning?” That’s what’s at stake with the upcoming Planning & Infrastructure Bill. It paves the way for nationally-led decision-making, sidelining local councils - and our communities - from planning processes that affect housing, green space, and local infrastructure.

We're at the Stainsby Festival this weekend! Come find us along with our local coordinators from Hull & Skegness — we're here for the music, dancing and the movement for justice. Let’s talk rights, resistance & building power together. #StainsbyFestival #PeoplePower #WeAreHere

Cold, poorly insulated homes aren’t just bad for health—they’re a climate issue. In the UK, housing accounts for nearly a fifth of carbon emissions. Yet too often local voices calling for energy-efficient, affordable homes are ignored We’re fighting for communities to be able to demand better.

What if nature had legal rights? Antarctica, “too wild for humans to rule,” should be legally recognised as a person in law to protect it, says Cormac Cullinan. At RCA, we believe radical ideas shift power to people and planet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As Australia pushes to host #COP31, its slow climate progress raises big questions. Emissions have barely dropped, while communities call for faster, fairer action. We back local leadership & legal power to deliver real solutions—because communities can’t wait.
