RSPB supporters join forces with others in huge show of support for urgent action to tackle the nature and climate crisis.
On 17 and 18 September 2025, hundreds of people will flock to Cardiff and Edinburgh to speak to politicians about taking urgent action on nature and climate.
Act Now, Change Forever are mass lobbies being organised by Stop Climate Chaos Scotland and Climate Cymru and supported by the RSPB alongside other organisations.
Across the UK, nature is under pressure. Climate change is one of the biggest threats to our wildlife. But restoring nature can help tackle the climate emergency, and build a brighter future for all of us.
By investing more in nature-friendly farming, we can help species recover, reduce harmful emissions and grow a sustainable food system.
By restoring habitats we can see our wildlife and wild places thrive, while supporting communities and locking in carbon.
Introducing legal nature targets will be an important way of driving this important progress in both Scotland and Wales.
Join us in calling for our decision makers to take meaningful action for nature and climate.
The mass lobbies will be a chance for people in Scotland and Wales to come together and share their concerns about nature and climate.
Sharing personal stories about disappearing birdsong, cherished green spaces and local developments will help cut through the noise and bring urgency to the big issues affecting our wildlife.
They will be fun events where you’ll get to meet other nature lovers and call for the action nature needs. You don’t need to have met your politicians before, all you need to join in is a passion for nature!
RSPB staff will be on hand on the day, and there will be guides and training in the run up that can help you plan your conversations.

Events like these mass lobbies remind us that democracy isn’t just about elections — it’s about showing up, speaking out, and holding leaders to account.
The RSPB are proud to be part of this growing movement. We aim to empower everyone – from first time campaigners to seasoned activists – to be effective advocates for nature and climate.
Nature is at a tipping point, and action has never mattered more. As our governments consider critical decisions around planning, farming, and biodiversity, the public’s voice is essential.
The mass lobby shows that when people come together, change is possible. With thousands attending and raising their voices in unison, this call for action will be impossible to ignore. People care deeply about our natural world and are determined to safeguard its future.
