Restoring Hope for Climate and Nature
Zero Hour campaigns for legislation that tackles the climate and nature crises together based on both the latest science and global justice.
That’s why Green Christian are continuing to support it and aim to give you and your churches the resources you need to support it too.
What’s NEW with Zero Hour’s campaign for Climate and Nature Legislation?
Updated 6 April 2026
We love Zero Hour because it has taken into its campaign the two biggest events of the moment – on nature, the Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse and National Security Report, and on climate, the National Emergency Briefing. So we don’t have to decide what to campaign on, which would dilute our efforts, we can stick with Zero Hour, who will give us all the support we need to engage our communities and MPs with the scale and urgency of the climate and nature crisis.
Their new campaign, Restoring hope for climate and nature, uses the clear and incontrovertible evidence of both the Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse and National Security Report and the National Emergency Briefing to make the indisputable case for action and then suggests a solution that we can all get behind – that there must be legal protection for the natural world.
So, firstly:
And secondly:
Use the new Zero Hour tool with suggested text to write to your MP based on whether or not they have already signed up in support of the CAN Bill or the EDM calling for a debate. Please do personalise the email if you can.
The Status of the Bill
The specific Climate and Nature Bill on the books at the moment will fall at the end of this parliamentary session. BUT Zero Hour’s campaign for climate and nature protection will continue. so please do continue to support them.
Continue to Increase Support for Climate and Nature Laws
Please continue to help increase support for legislation to protect God’s world. On the Zero Hour website, you can sign up:
- as an individual
- as an organisation (e.g. your church*)
- as a faith leader*
*Clearly Zero Hour is looking to us to help get signatures to their campaign – let us not disappoint! The protection of God’s world is all of our jobs, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if our churches showed the lead and the names of churches and church leaders filled the constituency pages up and down the country! So please:
- Email your MP
- Share it with all your friends
- Arrange to speak to your church leader, asking them to
- have an item in the pew sheet encouraging the church family to sign – template here
- sign as a faith leader
- for the church to sign as an organisation
Don’t worry if this seems confusing – once you’re inside the website it is really clear and fun to do. Here is the button:

Our youth-led Cotswold Climate Action Network have started a petition to ask the government to fully give time to and pass the CAN Bill. Please please please can you help them reach 10,000 if not 100, 000 signatures! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/738625 Thank you - we really need everyone's support.

If you look at the figures (e.g. Copernicus); almost all the world is now hotter or much hotter than it was in 2016. This is already causing huge storms, flooding, melting of glaciers and ice-caps (now irreversible), which will cause global fooding. We can slow all this down to give us time to adapt, bring in new technology; stop using oil-based products and energy usage, revolutionise house-building standards etc. If we invest, we will make money - not lose it. Why don't politicians understand how business works? Young people could be employed in an inventive and exciting way, reducing the social problems we have. Think laterally. Imagine. Get out of your political rut and into the wider world. If I could start a business from nothing (selling herbs to garden centres); before the internet, with two very young children; having to learn about the product, how to produce it, how to find pots, compost, print my own labels (very early computer - but had to input everything) and make it a success (I had to 'hard sell' the product by going around garden centres and ask to see 'the boss' - terrifying!), but I doubled my turnover every year, employing people year-round. Ill-health eventually caused me to close the business - but I knew i had achieved something new as the big horticultural businesses at that time weren't producing herbs. I did it in a manner (even then) that was as 'green' as possible, and still 40 years later, reuse the pots I had left over! Now I just give away spare plants, sell them for charity or give them to charities, from the garden, or ones I have produced from seeds and cuttings (because it is sooo satisfying!). Organically. My garden is heaving with weird spiders and other insects just because we garden using our food and garden waste and 'no-dig'. And what do you do politicians? Most of you aren't even aware. Not aware of how scared young people and many adults are of the future. (on average +80% overall). So, get real, get adventurous, talk to young people, those in environmental groups (small and national) and LISTEN!
