Tackling the Climate & Nature Crisis together

Zero Hour is the campaign for the Climate and Nature Bill, which is a plan for a new UK law that addresses the root causes of the climate-nature crisis. In the current Parliament, Roz Savage MP is the CAN Bill sponsor, and published her updated CAN Bill on 22 January, with the the Bill's Second Reading on 24 January.

Keeping temperature rises below 1.5°C

The CAN Bill makes sure the UK does its bit to keep global heating down to 1.5°C, which gives us a chance to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. This means cutting down greenhouse gas emissions really fast.

Reversing biodiversity loss by 2030

While the existing Environment Act only offers to halt the decline of nature by 2030, the CAN Bill commits to reversing the destruction of nature by 2030.

Building Consensus

Weaning ourselves off fossil fuels means big changes. So it’s important that everyone is on board with them. That’s why the Bill also calls for a climate and nature assembly to help Government and Parliament develop an emergency strategy on the way forward.

Climate and Nature Bill campaign

The Bill, which was written by scientists, experts and campaigners, was first introduced in Parliament by Caroline Lucas MP in September 2020, and now has the backing of 216 MPs and Peers representing all major political parties.
