Why supporting the Climate and Nature Bill matters
For the past few months, the Quaker Support for Climate Action group has joined the Zero Hour campaign encouraging support for the Climate and Nature Bill (formerly the Climate Ecology and Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill).

Witnessing for peace at a time of Remembrance
As Remembrance Day approaches Quakers may find themselves having to consider whether or not to attend community commemorations, church services, parades or participate in wreath-laying. As Quakers, our natural inclination is to stay away from events which seem to glorify Britain's military past. Instead we may wish to focus on events that focus on the cost of war, and that encourage people to work for peace.

How do we build an economy on Quaker principles?
One year ago, Quaker Peace & Social Witness began publishing a series of booklets about the new economy. Since then, Quakers in reading groups across Scotland, England and Wales have used these booklets to develop answers to the question: how do we build an economy based on Quaker principles?

Quakers and COP30: bearing witness to care
If only Donald Trump were right.Not about everything, of course. But if only it were true that, as he claimed last month, climate change was merely 'the greatest con job ever perpetuated'. Nothing we need worry about, nothing to see here.But in reality, the breakdown of our climate is a greater crisis than ever before.

Voices for climate and nature in parliament
Quakers in Britain's longstanding concern for climate justice and sustainability secured us an invitation to the launch of the Climate and Nature Crisis Caucus, a cross-party group of MPs and peers who champion joined-up action on climate and nature.

Equality, Earth Day and the power of nuance
Launched in the US in 1970, Earth Day exists to broaden, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide. Early initiatives raised public awareness about the inextricable links between pollution and public health and resulted in significant new legislation. Education and action on recycling, global warming, sustainable green economies, and carbon footprints followed.

What does climate breakdown have to do with our work on migration?
Much of our current political discourse engages with climate change and migration each in isolation. This deflects the necessary conversations around power, distribution of resources and justice. It also divides our efforts around creating a peaceful and just world.
