Will COP27 deliver a loss and damage fund?
The next chapter in the struggle for loss and damage finance is about to take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of campaigners and Global South countries, the issue is on the provisional agenda for COP27.

It's time to Build Back Better for a safe and just future
Even as the Covid-19 lockdown rules are loosened, I am hearing many people say they believe things will never get 'back to normal'. Of course, we all crave a 'normal' where we can see our friends and family, and where key workers can do their jobs without fearing for their lives.

It’s time for schools to teach the climate and ecological crisis
Strange but true: today's UK school system prepares pupils for a future that simply does not exist. This extraordinary failing has led young people to self-organise and demand school-based education that acknowledges and responds to the defining challenge of their lives: the climate crisis.

It's been a momentous spring for the climate movement in the UK. Schoolchildren have led climate strikes from school. Extinction Rebellion occupied four major London streets for a week to amplify their demand that the government cut emissions to zero by 2025.
