Campaigning and activism training

Get ready for the general election

2024 is a key year for our movement as people across the country will head to the polls to vote for their future MPs. It's vital that we use this moment to amplify our calls for immediate action on the climate and nature crises, and win commitments from our current and future decision makers. We need to ensure that whoever wins the next election will deliver policies that work for people and planet.

During the session you’ll hear about how you can make environmental justice a priority this election. From meeting with election candidates to running a hustings to making a splash in your local community. You’ll also have a chance to share your ideas to help shape how we collectively will demand a fairer, greener and more just world.

An introduction to the legal right to a healthy environment

We know the environment around us is in a bad state. But existing protections are too weak, and too poorly enforced, to fix it.

Find out how making a healthy environment a legal right could help ensure all future legislation better supports people and nature, improve the ways that public bodies implement these laws, and give communities the ability to fight back against environmental harm.

Tuesday 26 March (7 - 8.30pm)
