Published last week, the RACE Report 2025 shows just how far the environmental sector still has to go on diversity.

Increasing the representation of people of colour matters, and so too does tackling structural inequalities and changing dominant systems in the UK and globally. 1/3

This #RaceEqualityWeek we're reflecting on the urgent need to join up racial justice and climate justice 🌍

We must ensure that climate action doesn't exclude the very communities who will feel the impacts of climate change most harshly, and whose participation could play a transformational role 1/4

📣 New research in @theguardian.com shows MPs massively underestimate public support for climate policies.

This perception gap matters. When leaders only hear the loudest voices climate action slows, even when most people back a fair, ambitious transition. 1/2
