The 2017 General Election gives the Prime Minister and the other political party leaders an opportunity to recommit to existing environmental protections

Friends of the Earth react to the 2017 Conservative party manifesto

As the UK heads for a snap election on 12 December 2019, Friends of the Earth shares the ten policies that should feature in all of the political party manifestos.

Strong climate and nature policies, but more needed to curb roads and runways

Friends of the Earth comments on the Conservative Party General Election manifesto.

With all the main party manifestos now in the public domain, we have our first chance during this 2019 General Election to look at the stand out policies, the missed opportunities and the serious mistakes they contain.

The Conservative Party failed to significantly address the climate and nature emergency in this election but with floods and wildfires already destroying communities here and abroad, the new government cannot hide from its responsibilities and must urgently prioritise the climate crisis.

The manifestos are out and so are our scores on how parties have done on the environment.
