As extreme weather worsens, strengthening the UK's resilience to climate impacts is more urgent than ever. Following the APPG for the Environment's inquiry, political advisor Apaar Mangat explores why climate adaptation must be central to the UK government's agenda. 👇

These heatwaves are grimly exposing the UK’s lack of resilience

The debate around North Sea drilling is heating up again. But one thing is being overlooked in the arguments: the huge problem of methane leaks. (1/3)

We have a new prime minister and we have a new cabinet. But what does it mean for climate and nature? Senior political adviser Sam gives a quick summary of the key flashpoints ahead of tomorrow's webinar in partnership with @lcefuk.bsky.social, where we'll unpack this (and more) in depth.

#GAevent in collaboration with @lcefuk.bsky.social | What will Andy Burnham’s government mean for UK environmental policy? A week on from Andy Burnham entering No.10, join us from 1pm - 2pm this Wednesday to explore how this new government will impact environmental policy nationally.

In our latest blog, @hollybt.bsky.social, director of politics, argues that adaptation is playing out in gardens and neighbourhoods as much as in Whitehall, and that devolving power without devolving knowledge and capability will leave communities unprepared for the changes already underway.

Good news for Andy Burnham: near universal public support exists for ending throwaway living. And his soon-to-be government will inherit a plan to tackle it.

Angela Eagle has been given a great mission, at a pivotal moment for the environment. Here's how she can deliver it. In this blog, senior fellow @ruthchambers.bsky.social sets out three strategic themes for the new environment secretary 👇

Angela Eagle has been given a great mission, here’s how she can deliver it

Dame Angela Eagle has been appointed the tenth environment secretary in a decade at a pivotal moment for the environment. She’s no stranger to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), having served as farming minister from September 2025 to June 2026 and as a junior minister in the late 1990s. She brings a wealth of ministerial and parliamentary experience which will be helpful in navigating cross government discussions and persuading colleagues to embrace the view of her permanent secretary that Defra is one of the most important departments in Whitehall.
