Impact

The Green Party in government is delivering for the climate, our communities, and equality. The time is now for urgent action. We have pushed climate action and a just transition not only to the top of the agenda, but to the heart of everything we do in government.

We're fighting hard in Government to deliver for the climate, our communities and equality.

Collaboration and action

As a modern, progressive party, we believe that the politics of collaboration and action are key to making impact. The time has passed for old-school politics of one-upmanship. In order to tackle the climate and biodiversity crises, we must work across the political spectrum, bringing people with us all the time - uniting, collaborating and making sure that there is never a 'them' and 'us' when it comes to climate action. We are all in this together.
