Affordable clean energy. Secure, well-paid jobs. Communities in the UK and across the Global South with a say in their future.
Tell Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh to put people and planet before corporate profits at the #COP31 climate talks:

In the last week, the people of Brazil and Serbia have held off the far-right in their elections.
This is no accident.
It’s people power in action.
This is just the beginning.
Popular power must shape what comes next, including a redistribution of wealth and power.
“Following this election, the government will have to adopt a new way of governing, centred on the people.”
- The Movement of People Affected by Dams, Brazil

Industrial food systems cause trillions of dollars in damage every year.
Yet these costs rarely appear on corporate balance sheets. Instead, people and planet are left to bear the burden.
This must end. Take action: bit.ly/4ssZT1Z
Our energy bills are skyrocketing. The UK government must act – but the new budget won’t make a real difference.
Funding a just transition away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy and fairer societies would bring down bills - but that's not what the government is doing.
The sums in the new budget reveal that it may approve Rosebank – the UK’s largest undeveloped oil field.
But Rosebank won't lower UK energy bills or protect the UK from changing fossil fuel prices because most of Rosebank's oil is expected to be sold on the international market.
Inequality is rising, where is the burden falling?
The super-rich are getting richer while the rest of us deal with rising prices and struggling public services.
Burnham’s government is ultimately still failing people and planet.
In the face of intersecting crises, the UK government has to make bold choices to achieve radical change at home and abroad.

Our food system runs on fossil fuels.
From synthetic fertilisers and pesticides to long-distance supply chains, it depends on oil and gas.
And the UK government is still subsidising the very industries driving this dependence.
This must end. Act now: bit.ly/4ssZT1Z
⚽️@premierleague clubs are taking sponsorship from corporations complicit in Israel's apartheid and genocide of Palestinians.
We shouldn't have to choose between loving our clubs and standing with Palestinians.
Tell your club to drop complicit sponsors: secure.waronwant.org/page/19…
BREAKING: The UK government has approved the Jackdaw gas field, bowing to pressure from the oil & gas industry despite urgent climate warnings.
The future of the Rosebank oil field is still undecided, we must do everything to #StopRosebank.
