Carbon Neutral Britain
Carbon Neutral Britain helps the UK take the lead in saving the planet. So far our projects have helped offset over 500,000 Tonnes of CO²e and plant over 3 million trees, helping stop climate change and provide essential forest habitats for endangered wildlife. Time to save the world.
Net Zero Target
In 2019, the UK Government and the devolved administrations committed to the Net Zero target (Carbon Neutral Britain) as recommended by the Climate Change Committee. Reaching net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions requires extensive changes across the economy, but the foundations are in place. Major infrastructure decisions need to be made in the near future and quickly implemented. These changes are unprecedented in their overall scale, but large-scale transitions have been achieved successfully in the UK before, such as the natural gas switchover in the 1970s or the switch to digital broadcasting in the 2000s.

Being More Eco In Schools
New plans announced by Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi on Thursday 21 April detailed how the UK education sector is to become a world leader in climate change by 2030. One method of this is the introduction of an exciting new GCSE in natural history to be introduced by September 2025
