What we're doing

The London Wave

From lobbying Government for new climate polices to helping our nature reserves cope with the effects of climate change, we're working hard to make a difference.

We:

  • Develop strategies that will help wildlife to cope with climate change and advocate changes to nature conservation policy.
  • Encourage people to lead greener and more sustainable lifestyles and actively promote green energy.
  • Devise and advocate policies that will cut emissions in the UK, EU and all over the world. We focus mainly on energy and transport because they cause most emissions.
  • Develop our nature reserves to be as protected as they can be against the impacts of climate change.
  • Increase the size of of our nature reserves where we can. Bigger sites are more resilient to changing conditions around them - and allow more space for incoming wildlife to find a home.
