"...Caroline Lucas and the green philosopher Rupert Read make the case for “eco-popularism” rather than eco-populism: a way of thinking that doesn’t try to hotwire its way into people’s emotional circuitry with invigorating binaries, but, rather, describes actions that would genuinely change lives for the better, and therefore be popular."
Guardian columnist, Zoe Williams, mentions our new report in her latest piece.

This wasn’t how it was supposed to be…
The tragic truth is that, as some of us warned a decade ago, mainstream climate science has turned out to be the opposite of alarmist. It has turned out to be over-optimistic.
Truthfulness - and strategic adaptation - are urgent.

We know that climate adaptation has been the poor cousin of Government policy for too long, despite the threats to life.
Ed Miliband acknowledges this. The new Prime Minister must put this front and centre.

BREAKING: This national security assessment, now being broadcast for the first time after the Government tried to hush it up, makes clear what many have sensed for some time: #climate - and #nature - breakdown presents serious and escalating risks to #UK homes, food systems, health, public services, national security and the wider economy.
