We are facing dual climate and biodiversity crises.
The world is now nearly one degree hotter than it was before widespread industrialisation, and in the UK alone 41 per cent of our species are facing a decline in numbers.
Clearly, we need to take action to tackle these issues now, before it’s too late. So, when it was announced that the government were going to share new plans to help support nature’s recovery and steer us further towards our net zero targets, here at Lancashire Wildlife Trust we waited with baited breath.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation’s biggest business lobby, is encountering challenges on multiple fronts as it seeks warmer relations with Democrats after years of lockstep loyalty to Republicans - a strategic shift that is souring relations with some GOP allies on Capitol Hill and alarming some members and state affiliates. The blowback from Republicans threatens to further upend the Chamber’s longtime status as the most potent corporate lobby in Washington, just as the Biden administration pushes a sweeping agenda that includes significant tax hikes on big businesses and a raft of new regulations. And it comes amid a broader rift between corporate leaders, who have become more outspoken advocates of some progressive causes, and a Republican Party that increasingly sees political advantage in attacking business executives.
A multi-year plan by the Chamber of Commerce to broaden its political standing has angered some long-time members and allies, part of a broader shift for the business lobby.
