Is the government's new climate plan fit for purpose? We’ve pored over all 238 pages and compiled our expert analysis.

What we know for sure is that we need the government to go further and move faster. They can do so by making fossil fuel companies and the super-rich pay more for climate action.✊

What do we want? Climate justice! When do we want it? Now!

Friends of the Earth Barnet, and many more, made a stand today outside Downing Street 🌍 with more fossil fuel lobbyists than ever at COP30, we need to continue the fight for climate justice!

Great night as always at Barnet Friends of the Earth’s Social - feel free to get involved, or let us know about great (environmental) projects you're involved in, or just support the environment in whatever way you can. We’re all in this together.

Great to have Cllr Alan Schneiderman (Environment and Climate Change) at our monthly meeting, and to discuss some of the Council’s environmental projects. We hope you all know how much is reused and recycled, for example at Summers Lane Recycling Centre. But, please do try to use less too.

The Climate Change Act is vital for protecting people & planet. @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social – don’t roll it back. We need stronger climate action. Weakening or scrapping it would be a disaster.

We condemn the appalling attack on Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester.

To all of those facing increasing violence and hostility on the basis of their race, faith or where they're from, please know that we stand alongside you.

Today’s calculated as Earth Overshoot Day! The day our output for the year exceeds what the world can cope with. Perhaps more telling, the date’s getting earlier each year. Somehow we have to change this. Come and join us.
Earth Overshoot Day home - #MoveTheDate
Overshoot occurs when humanity's demand on nature exceeds Earth's biocapacity. In 2025, Earth Overshoot Day falls on July 24th.

Interesting seeing air quality vary across London using a clever little air quality metre supplied by Clean Air Barnet to help people measure and raise awareness of the issues. These were my values in a restaurant, breathing in the cooking fumes. Worse than it had been outside, despite car fumes.

Great vibe and excitement at our meeting with Dan Tomlinson. Good to see concern for environmental issues. Shame debate on the #climateandnaturebill has been adjourned. But with your help, we’ll get there!
