This is an emergency
The next UK government will be the last government capable of making change before 2030
The next government will have 5 years to fix the planet.
The issues are well established.
Public support has never been higher.
But politicians across the divide are rowing back on climate promises.
With cost of living and quality of life at the forefront of voters’ minds, climate and nature has been pushed off the political agenda.
If climate and nature doesn’t get a seat at the table and a voice in the room, the UK will not hit its 2050 goals, let alone its 2030 targets.
Unless we actively hold politicians to account, the solutions we’re fighting for won’t be a priority for whoever comes into power.
Every other industry has lobbyists to secure their seat and be their voice.
But climate & nature organisations haven’t been able to access or afford the lobbyists they need to fight for their cause.
Until now…
We need you
The oil industry has lobbyists. Now so does the climate & nature emergency.
Politicians can’t ignore climate and nature any longer.
Now it’s time for words to be met with actions, and promises met with policies.
This is about building influence.
This is about being heard in the right rooms.
This is about affecting legislation and regulation to create real and lasting change.
Other causes like homelessness and mental health have all had major acts of parliament passed.
And they only achieved this when they came together, with one voice, to lobby and make leaders listen.
In climate and nature, we’ve all been fighting our corner and competing for the same audiences, column inches and parliamentary time.
Now it’s time to stand together.
Here’s how it’s going to work…
No single organisation can build and maintain the hundreds of relationships across the political spectrum that are needed to influence and drive political and policy change – unless that is their sole purpose.
This is why lobbyists exist.
Our team is made up of highly experienced public affairs professionals, policy researchers, former government advisors and green ambassadors.
We’re the only sustainability-focused communications agency with extensive experience working for government, campaigning organisations and securing wins for political parties.
We’ve helped shape policy on key issues from plastic packaging, food waste, and free school meals, to deforestation, sustainable fashion and anti-greenwashing legislation.
With decades of experience in campaigning, communications and advocacy, our work has shaped the public conversation around sustainability – from influencing individual behaviour change, through to shaping national policy and turning the climate emergency into a mainstream media issue.
Now we’re forming the UK Climate Lobby.
How it will work
Amplifying your voice
Every month there are hundreds of consultations, hundreds of amendments and dozens of pieces of legislation flowing through parliament.
And that’s before we get to devolved governments, local authorities, committee hearings or regulatory bodies.
Good lobbying is not just about big shiny bits of legislation.
It’s about ensuring that climate and nature is part of any discussion.
It’s about ensuring that climate and nature is factored into every decision.
It’s about pushing for change wherever change is possible.
Together we have influence that the government can’t ignore.
We’re here to help align the sector’s voice so that when we shout, we shout loud and we all shout the same thing at the same time.
Every voice matters. Every campaigner. Every charity. Every purpose-led business.
Every member that signs up and takes part in the Climate Lobby allows us to push for change on the issues you care about in the corridors of power.
Whether that’s influencing legislation through consultations, building coalitions around bills and amendments, giving evidence to parliamentary committees or pushing regulators to tighten enforcement.

Making it affordable
Crowdfunded lobbying
to make every voice heard
No one climate & nature organisation can even begin to think about spending the type of money required to lobby effectively.
No one organisation can invest the time and resources into maintaining the hundreds of political relationships required.
No one organisation can front the cost to make real change in the corridors of power.
That’s why we’re taking a crowdfunded approach.
We’re all impacted by the climate & nature emergency.
The decisions made by government affect us all.
So political influence should be accessible to us all.
Whether you’re an individual, a grassroots group, a campaigning organisation or a purpose-led business, by being a member you can ensure you get a level of access and support from experienced lobbyists and campaigners that makes creating real change efficient and achievable.
As an individual, you can amplify your climate and nature impact and get involved for free!
If you’re running your own campaigns, you can access our expertise, resources and audience for support.
And together, we can show strength in numbers, raise our collective voice and create real change.
We will publish an annual financial report with full % breakdown of how the money is spent.
