‘We were not demonstrating against farmers, who have crucial task of feeding us.
But we oppose a food system that for sake of profits contributes massively to climate & biodiversity crises, undermines health, and increases social inequality’

A dilemma for individual activists in 2026 - is this a moment to step into the mainstream and support this wave of energy? Or stay radical, non-party-political and build the necessary pressure from the outside?
Both essential. Do what is right for you. 💚🔥

⚡2026 is a turning point. UK #climate & environmental activists face both crisis & opportunity.
Fascism rises, the #climate agenda is under attack, & political representation is urgent.

This year has been brutal for the #climate movement.
Rollbacks, repression, & outright denial, especially in the US, have made progress feel fragile & uneven.
Which is exactly why it matters to pause & look back at what did move forward in 2025.
Here are 12 real wins 🏆, one for each month 🧵⬇️

The problems feel big. The days are short; the nights are long. It’s easy to despair.
But despair is a gift to the powerful. It keeps you quiet, keeps you small.
In 2026, let’s turn despair into DETERMINATION. If we all do a little, we can achieve a lot.
It always seems impossible until it’s done.
