Campaigning for change

Practical Action's work in influencing decision-makers on climate change

Action to tackle climate change is urgent and necessary so as well as work overseas, we are actively campaigning for changes to international policy both in the UK and internationally.

We are involved in policy research and lobbying, for example engaging with the United Nation's Framework Convention on Climate Change. We are also a key member of the Working Group on Climate Change and Development.

We must also call for urgent action by politicians. Show our leaders that the public demands urgent political action on climate change, to match the steps we are taking in our own lives.
