Co-leader Adrian Ramsay said that the final COP26 agreement fails to get us on track to 1.5C and is woefully short on providing support to the Global South, protecting future generations, or safeguarding the natural world. Caroline Lucas also challenged the PM on the government's pursuit of fossil fuels. Scroll for more on what Greens are doing to deliver real action for the climate🔽

Co-leader Carla Denyer was interviewed by Owen Jones on his “Owen Jones meets…” series, discussing the Green Party’s chances of electoral success and how Greens are winning over voters from all parties.

It is crucial that we shift to an economy that puts a stop to growth at the expense of our health, happiness and safety. Caroline Lucas has secured the first ever Parliamentary debate on a wellbeing economy, which will take place Tuesday 30 November. The debate is set to last for 1 hour from 4.30 - 5.30pm, so there is time for a good number of MPs to make contributions. Can you help us make sure that the house takes this debate seriously by contacting your MP and tell them to take part? Here's how you get your MPs contact details. Alternatively, you can tweet them! Like Caroline Lucas said: 'We urgently need a wellbeing economy – one designed with the purpose of serving the wellbeing of people and the planet first and foremost. One that will deliver social justice on a healthy planet'.
