Climate change and biodiversity loss are the greatest threats humanity has ever faced. They are sometimes referred to as the two most important, or core, “planetary boundaries”. These elements are at the heart of our strategy, which you can read here.
The Commitment is an initiative within Caplor Horizons that works to put climate change and the natural world higher up the political agenda. It has recently published its third research paper: "Climate Change and Biodiversity: Connecting voters with politicians", which was a joint political research project with our partner Hope for the Future.
The research and was based on interviews with 41 UK politicians, as well as wider analyses and conversations. The Commitment's approach was described as “unique” and “refreshing". One of the main findings was that it is "clearly differentiated from petitions and similar campaigning tools". You can read the full report here.
