Climate action requires collective action, and we need to act now! Last week, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published the first part of its sixth assessment report. Hundreds of leading climate scientists concluded that the reality of climate change, and the direct responsibility of humans in its creation, can no longer be denied.
The Commitment, an initiative incubated by Caplor Horizons, is ensuring climate change is put higher up the political agenda. Believing in the power voting has to tackle our climate crisis, The Commitments is getting politicians in the UK readily engaged and interested to hold the climate at the core of their decision making. To get involved and make your Commitment for a healthier planet, click here.
The organisation has recently published its research “Climate Change and Biodiversity: Connecting voters with politicians” with our partner Hope for the Future, a climate charity working to equip communities, groups and individuals across the UK to communicate the urgency of climate change with their local politicians.
We believe that, to create societal impact, we must start with transforming leadership. We will soon be working with Hope for the Future’s Senior Leadership Team to develop their “leaderful way”.
