Andrew Pakes MP has been elected as Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Environment by fellow parliamentarians following a meeting on Tuesday 10th December.

This expert workshop delivered by Climate Outreach covered the key elements of public opinion on a fair net zero transition, with evidence-based guidance on how MPs can tell their own climate stories to voters with passion, connection and clarity.

The transition to net zero is projected to bring benefits exceeding $1 trillion for British businesses before 2030, as well as offering an opportunity to future-proof the UK’s stagnating economy and deliver legally binding emissions reductions.

Nature is disappearing faster than ever in human history. With legally-binding targets set for 2030, this parliament must deliver rapid action to put nature into recovery.

Against a backdrop of worsening climate impacts in the UK and across the globe, the lifetime of this parliament will be critical to ensure the UK is on track to meet its climate targets.

We face a global nature crisis that threatens not just wildlife, but our economy, health, and efforts to tackle the climate emergency.

Alistair Strathern MP has been elected as Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Environment by fellow parliamentarians following a meeting on Tuesday 30th July.

The next Parliament will take us nearly all the way to 2030. By then, the UK has committed to halting the decline of domestic species, effectively protecting 30% of our land and seas, and cutting emissions by 68% from 1990 levels.

Rules that would remove deforestation from supermarket shelves must go ahead without further delay, say a cross-party group of MPs and peers.

On 12th March 2024, the Environment APPG held its Annual General Meeting.
