Action on climate and nature

The climate and ecological crises are the greatest challenges we face. 

Climate change is the change in average conditions, such as temperature or rainfall. Over a long period of time this will have a serious impact on our environment and biodiversity.

To acknowledge this and take action, we have declared a climate emergency and an ecological emergency, and we have adopted a Climate Action Plan.
