Join us and SEND IT FOR CLIMATE! 🧗🚴🏃♀️🏂 The UK government committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2050, but we’re not on track, and this affects everyone. Net zero is how we stop climate change, and the sooner we reach it, the more impacts we can avoid. 🚨 The next elected UK government must make policy commitments that get us back on track to net zero. Policy commitments start with party manifestos, and you have the power to influence those manifestos! 🤝 We need the entire UK outdoor community to send it for climate by sending a postcard! We’ve taken care of the hard part - our virtual postcard outlines the policy commitments needed to get us back on track to net zero. All you need to do is fill in the blank sections and we'll deliver them to the relevant ministers. ✉️ Send a virtual postcard now and get the UK back on track to net zero 👇 https://lnkd.in/ebWDEP4w 🎨 by Adam Kennedy 📸 by Adam Raja

It’s finally that time of year again! 🎄 We’ll be signing off and setting our ‘out of office’ until the New Year – and we hope you’ll get the chance to do the same. Before we wrap up, we want to take a moment to thank you for your amazing support throughout 2024. What a year it’s been! 🌍 From delivering thousands of Send It For Climate postcards to Downing Street, to empowering our community to vote for climate action in this year’s General Election, it’s been a year of real progress for our planet. We couldn’t have done it without you. 💚 Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! We hope you can spend some time outdoors and reconnect with the reason you're part of this movement. 🌲 Take time to recharge – we’ll be back in the New Year, ready to keep fighting for the future! 💪 Photo credit: Bryce Powrie

“[Athletes] tell a real, trusted personal story about the changes they're seeing and how it's directly impacting them, which is really powerful and leads to building common ground and overcoming unhelpful narratives. Our own surveys show that athletes really cut through and have the potential to be the most effective and trusted messengers by far on climate, compared to politicians or scientists.” Our head of Policy & Advocacy Dom Winter sits down with Sam Haddad to chat about his unlikely activist heritage, how all is not lost with Trump getting in, Just Stop Oil and how global heating is affecting the Olympics. Read the full piece below 👊 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eHNTq5yt

Imagine turning your love for the outdoors into a powerful force for change. With your support, we're making it happen. We've been on a mission to build the most influential base of concerned outdoor citizens on climate action, and together, we're making strides. This year we: 📣 Launched our biggest advocacy campaign yet: Send It for Climate, which took us to Westminister in 2023 and to the polls in 2024. 📚 Empowered hundreds with Carbon Literacy Training: Giving individuals and organisations the knowledge to take effective climate action. ♻️ Supported organisations on their journey to net zero through climate action support and training. But the climate crisis isn't going anywhere (yet), so we're just getting started, and we need your continued support. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. Join us this Giving Tuesday and help protect the places we love. https://lnkd.in/eAYpgSCg 📸 Bryce Powrie
