Together we have finally got a strong climate change law, and won our Big Ask campaign! Parliament voted on 28th October for the world-beating legislation after a persuasive campaign by Friends of the Earth involving hundreds of thousands of people across the UK. A huge thank you to all of you - it wouldn't have happened without you. Find out more at http://www.foe.co.uk ,or see the info and video in the Big Ask section below. *    *    *    *    *

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN UPDATES

We’ve Done It!

It's official - three and a half years of hard campaigning by groups and individuals all across the country has led to a world-class, internationally ground-breaking climate law. We won a commitment to annual reporting of progress in the Climate Bill.  We won an increased target of 80% reductions by 2050.  And now we've won on bringing emissions from international aviation and shipping in to the Bill, with ministers having to take account of them when setting the budgets. All thanks to the people pressure that you've created.  Give yourselves a massive pat on the back - you've helped take probably the biggest step towards stopping dangerous climate change anywhere in the world so far.
