🚨The UK Government has approved the Jackdaw gas field. More fossil fuels is not the right choice for people, nature, and the climate.

We are calling for countries to contribute to crucial climate funds including the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage, the Adaptation Fund, and the Green Climate Fund.

We are calling for countries to fairly tax the wealthiest and largest polluters in our society to pay for climate action at home and overseas - this could generate tens of billions of pounds a year in the UK alone.

Today we have written to the new Prime Minister to outline policy priorities to deliver for people, nature, and climate - we must take action on the climate and nature emergencies to ensure better lives in the UK and around the world.

While the UK has been suffering heatwaves and wildfires, we must not forget the worst consequences of climate change are falling disproportionately on countries and communities who have contributed least to the climate emergency. Quality international climate finance is vital.

You have our full support to deliver on Labour's manifesto commitments to restore ODA spending to 0.7% of GNI and mission to create a world free from poverty on a liveable planet. We look forward to the opportunity to meet with you soon to discuss these priorities.

Now is the time to end UK reliance on expensive and heatwave-causing fossil fuels & accelerate clean energy to bring down bills for households long-term. The government must reject Rosebank & Jackdaw to hold true to the UK’s commitment to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

We must build fairer and greener societies that deliver for workers & communities in the UK & around the world. Delivering a #JustTransition must be the goal, and we urge you to personally champion an ambitious and impactful Just Transition mechanism at #COP31 in November.

"The concept that it's kicking the rich to ask them to pay a really moderate amount of tax is just such nonsense. Nobody says it's kicking working people when they've got to pay income tax." Millionaires like Julia and @garyseconomics want to be taxed more. The Govt must listen.
