Energy

Friends of the Earth's campaign 7 years ago leads to new energy saving rules coming into force this April.

The government's decision to reject a coal mine at Druridge Bay – because it would have "an adverse effect on climate change" – is a UK first.

Stunning beaches and dunes make Druridge Bay a hotspot for people and wildlife. But this Northumberland getaway is at risk of losing its charm to a coal mine – bad news for the community and the climate.

We need to minimise how climate change affects people and nature. We also have a responsibility to help the most vulnerable to cope: Friends of the Earth's position.
