Our communities need climate leadership. Now more than ever, we need our local leaders to take bolder action to protect people and planet.

I've just asked @andyburnham.bsky.social to sign the Big Climate Plan pledge - will you email your mayor too?

Thanks to @jeffsmithmp.bsky.social for meeting us to discuss new research from @friends-earth.bsky.social on what a fair climate plan should look like.

Did you know that 55% of homes in England & Wales have an energy rating of D or below?

Local @friends-earth.bsky.social groups were outside Parliament today calling on Government to publish a strong Warm Homes plan.
