Blue marble minute for the climate

Updated 20 January 2016

My concern was, and is, that governments will fail to act to stop carbon dioxide emissions before it is too late. This led to the idea that if world leaders were held in the Light daily at 21:00, for one minute, they would find the courage to resist the huge fossil fuel lobby, and take life-saving decisions to halt climate change at the international negotiations in Paris (COP21).

Taking action in Paris at COP21

Updated 19 January 2016

We're now facing a climate crisis. I felt it was important to go to Paris because I feared that the climate negotiations (or COP21) would not be sufficient to meet this crisis. I've been led to take action on climate change because it's an issue so inextricably linked to other things I care about, like challenging militarism and upholding refugee and asylum seeker rights.

The Clean Growth Strategy – progress, but falling far short of climate justice

Updated 20 October 2017

Last week, the government published its long-awaited Clean Growth Strategy. It's the government's attempt to answer the question of how the UK will fulfil its commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions under international climate agreements and UK climate law.

Buddhists, Quakers and Catholics unite in resistance against fracking

Created 8 May 2018

As an intern at Quakers in Britain, I get to work alongside many different colleagues, including those who support Quakers who take action to keep fossil fuels in the ground. Quakers oppose hydraulic fracturing of shale gas – known as 'fracking' – as part of our testimony to sustainability. We advocate for investment in renewable energy sources as an alternative.

Updated 7 August 2018

When it comes to asking governments to step up to taking action to tackle climate change it is often easy to feel doom and gloom. However, in recent months there has been cause for cautious optimism.

Go for zero to stop climate breakdown

Updated 12 December 2018

On 11 December 2018, MPs are due to vote on Theresa May's proposed Brexit deal. Brexiters and remainers alike can see much at stake for our economy and democracy for decades to come. It's why Brexit has been described as 'the issue of our generation'.

COP26 is over: where next for climate justice?

Updated 18 November 2021

The Quakers in Britain team went to COP26 with hope but in the almost certain knowledge that it wouldn't deliver everything we wanted. We were part of a large movement of people and communities around the world calling for loss and damage finance – support for those hurt first and worst by the climate crisis. People and planet have been failed, again. But it is not the end.

Truth and integrity in a time of climate crisis

Updated 1 February 2023

It was reported in January that the 'carbon offsets' approved by the world's biggest certification provider are largely worthless. The investigation into rainforest carbon offset credits approved by Verra found that more than 90% of the credits offered did not represent real carbon reductions.

Why does taking action for just peace in Palestine and Israel support our work for climate justice?

Updated 15 November 2023

On 19 June this year, the UK Government tabled a bill that infringes on our right to use boycott and divestment as peaceful means of protest. The 'Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill' (or 'Anti-boycott bill') aims to prevent public bodies (such as local authorities, universities, some pension funds and other public institutions like the National Health Service) from making financial decisions based on ethical choices.

Phasing out fossil fuels: the political dynamics of COP28

Updated 19 December 2023

Tens of thousands of people are flying in and out of the mega desert city Dubai to attend the 28th Conference of Parties (COP) on climate change. The setting is poignant; a once deeply poor, colonised land, now an oil rich country capable of quickly building a surreally unsustainable city.
