While Starmer stalls on climate action, the far right keeps pushing forward the dangerous agenda of the billionaires and oil companies they represent. And with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK on the rise, time is running out.

The science is clear. The technology is ready to roll out. All we need is the political will to make it happen.

Good Law Project is working with Global Legal Action Network and our claimants SOS UK, Tipping Point and Save Hemsby Coastline to challenge the UK government. Starmer’s climate framework is so full of holes that it breaches our right to family life.

Last month, the government set out its latest plan to take on global heating. But it doesn’t go far or fast enough. Starmer needs to set a firm target on phasing out fossil fuel production – and stick to it, instead of opening the door to projects that press the accelerator on climate breakdown. He must stop exporting emissions to other countries – and bring industry and jobs back to the UK. And he has to listen to the experts – who say that the UK needs to do much more to meet its fair share of climate action.

For Gerry Liston, legal co-lead at Global Legal Action Network, Starmer needs to pick up the pace.

“We are supporting this case,” Liston said, “because the UK government can and must do much more to prevent us from crossing the many climate tipping points we are so close to, which would have catastrophic consequences, including for the UK.”

We know what climate action looks like: cleaner air, cheaper energy, and healthier communities. So we’ve taken the first step towards a judicial review against the government’s climate framework. It’s time for Starmer to step up and build the future we deserve, before it’s too late.
