The Commitment is an organisation working to accelerate government action on climate change and biodiversity loss by showing politicians how much their voters want urgent action.
Climate change and biodiversity loss
The Commitment focuses on both the climate and nature. We can’t have a safer climate without a recovering natural world, and vice versa. The risks of climate change and biodiversity loss have been known for decades, yet the damage has continued to accelerate. So far, much of the focus has been on behaviour change at the individual level, but government action is absolutely critical.
Connecting you with your local politicians
The Commitment is founded on the belief that to get your local politicians to do more, we need to show them that their voters are prepared to vote only for politicians who are working for urgent action. It’s still relatively early days, but already 10,000 people have made their Commitment to vote for a healthy planet across the UK!
This is how it works -
Peaceful and politically impartial
The Commitment is positive, peaceful and strictly politically impartial. We won’t tell you how to vote, or what policies are important. We take your Commitment, and your specific concerns to your local representatives.
It doesn’t take thousands of Commitments to engage politicians. They want to hear the views of their own voters. This is why the personal statements behind the Commitment are so powerful.
Take action today for the planet and for future generations.Your vote is powerful – The Commitment makes it count!
