On Friday 15th September 2023, the Climate Essentials team joined the Queue for Climate and Nature. This was a quiet protest, where business leaders came together to demonstrate support for the UK Government to take more drastic action to protect our climate and nature. Collectively, we sent a strong message to all UK political parties:

  1. Rapidly scale up investment and incentives in renewables, clear the connectivity backlog and drive forward energy efficiency
  2. Take action to protect and restore nature and halt further decline by 2030
  3. End new fossil fuel developments in the UK including new licensing rounds and approvals for oil and gas exploration, in line with calls from the UN Secretary-General, climate scientists and the IEA.
