OUR INTERNATIONAL
PROGRAMME

ABOUT

CEN’s international programme brings together conservatives from around the world to discuss environmental policies and reinforce environmental ambition.

We do this through organising in-bound and overseas delegations, meetings, and virtual roundtables between conservative politicians, and think tanks in the UK and overseas.

Our international programme also works with our UK parliamentary caucus on campaigns related to international environmental policy, trade, and aid.

CAMPAIGNS

We coordinate environmental action within the conservative movement and mobilise conservatives to achieve positive environmental policy change. We do this by developing and championing policy campaigns in Parliament and across the UK. Some of our recent nature campaigns can be found below.
