It will be Boris Johnson’s job to help tackle the climate emergency that’s dangerously heating our planet and threatening the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world

If you tuned in to see Boris Johnson become our latest Prime Minister, you might have seen that we interrupted him on his way to see the Queen. Because if there’s one thing that worth delaying matters of state over, it’s the climate emergency we’re in. Now it’s Boris Johnson’s job to steer us to climate safety.

In the peak of our latest heatwave—the second to hit the UK in two months—we just saw Boris Johnson officially become our latest Prime Minister. We can see clearer than ever that our climate is breaking down.

It will be Boris Johnson’s job to help tackle the climate emergency that’s dangerously heating our planet and threatening the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world. What happens next will be on his watch.


But this is a man whose campaign has been partly funded by a climate denier, who seems to care little about people beyond our borders (and sometimes within), and whose personal ambition seems to take priority.

His job right now is crucial. We’ve delivered our message, but will he act?

What exactly does Boris Johnson need to do?

Johnson is Trump lite. But he has the potential to become Trump's twin. I don't have a lot of hope that he will end up becoming a hero.
