Nature + National Security Bill

The Nature + National Security Bill is designed to address the growing threat that biodiversity loss poses to national security, alongside the urgent need to strengthen climate adaptation to better protect communities across the UK.

Nature is our national security

Military experts and scientists warn that accelerating nature loss threatens empty supermarket shelves, flooded homes, and an NHS pushed beyond breaking point. The collapse of the natural world is now a direct threat to the UK’s national security—putting everything we care about at risk.

Getting prepared for what's to come

A Nature + National Security Act would connect key ecosystems as critical national infrastructure in a Strategic Nature Network. This thriving natural backbone would charge up our soils, water and natural defences from extreme weather. The Act would establish a new Resilience and Adaptation Commissioner to protect communities and ensure decisions across government prepare the UK to function in the face of escalating climate impacts.

Secure your future

A powered-up national nature network, alongside smarter decisions for our future, would mean healthy, affordable food, homes and hospitals protected from flooding and heat, and good, future-fit jobs. This is about more than responding to threats— it’s about building a future for Britain that we can be proud of.
