BRINGING PEOPLE WITH US

We believe that a conservative, science-led approach that empowers individuals, communities, and businesses and goes with the grain of human nature will be most effective at protecting and enhancing the environment.

SECURING OUR FUTURE

We believe that biodiversity loss, climate change, and wasteful resource use are threats to our national security, and action to incentivise homegrown clean energy, sustainable farming practices, and resource efficiency will make our country safer and more resilient.

STOPPING CLIMATE CHANGE

We believe that man-made climate change is a threat to our prosperity, and that the UK should end its contribution to climate change by mid-century through affordable, fair, and market-based policies.

RESTORING OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

We believe that we have a responsibility to halt and reverse the decline in biodiversity to ensure that future generations can enjoy rich and abundant nature, while building the homes and producing the food we need. 

SUPPORTING CLEAN GROWTH

We believe that embracing clean technologies, efficiency, and innovation will make the UK more productive and competitive, and that we should capture the opportunities they present to boost exports and drive economic growth, while keeping down costs for consumers.

REWARDING FARMERS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP 

We believe that farmers should be given a fair return from the market for sustainable food production and should be rewarded with public and private funding for their role as custodians of our countryside and for protecting and restoring nature.

TACKLING AIR AND WATER POLLUTION

We believe that pollution is a threat to our natural environment, health, and economy, and that encouraging the uptake of cleaner technologies, cutting waste, and modernising our infrastructure will clean up our air, waterways, and local communities.

LEADING THE WORLD ON THE ENVIRONMENT

We believe that the UK has both a responsibility and an opportunity to lead the way internationally in protecting the environment, using free trade, finance and diplomacy to promote market-friendly action across the world.
