Dear John
Our world is in crisis mode. It’s less than a year since Australia was ravaged by wildfires and it already feels like a distant memory. But we can’t let climate catastrophes like that become the new normal.
Despite global lockdowns, climate-heating gases have reached record highs. It’s clear we need a complete overhaul of our industrial, energy and transport systems.
With your support we can put the future of our planet back into people’s hands. Our 200+ Climate Action groups will be campaigning for local councils and mayors to adopt our ambitious Climate Action Plans. By starting local, we'll build up the pressure for national, and eventually global, change.
Today we’re launching the Big Give Christmas Challenge to raise £120,000 that will power our campaign to get the plans adopted by local and national governments.
Every donation you make today will be doubled at no extra cost to you. Can you help us meet our target?

As it stands, we’re on track for an unthinkable 3°C of global heating. But that doesn’t mean climate chaos is some hypothetical future – it’s already happening. Just look at this year’s record-shattering hurricane season.
We need to act now. That’s why our Climate Action Plans for councils and mayors include 50 practical steps. From doubling tree cover to investing in renewable energy, these are concrete actions we can take to prevent total climate breakdown.
Of course, we couldn’t do it without you. Together, we’ve helped community groups fend off fracking, fight Heathrow expansion, and secure climate emergency declarations from councils up and down the country.
Now let’s build on that. Every pound you donate today will be matched by The Big Give, so you’ll have double the impact.

Your donation today will power our fight for a greener and fairer future. Thank you.
