Campaigning
We sometimes run high-profile campaigns to make sure urgent issues get the attention they deserve.
Campaigning is particularly effective when lots of people get involved. Your help, whether vocal or financial, is always appreciated.
It's a crucial time – the choices we all make in the next few years will have a huge influence on our world. By acting together, we can achieve much more.

Push for new climate finance
Last year’s Copenhagen climate summit didn’t achieve all we hoped – but world leaders acknowledged that climate change is a serious global threat, and that less-wealthy countries will need financial support to cope with the impacts. There was a commitment to providing $100 billion a year by 2020. But there was no decision about how this money will be found.
We need to tell world governments to agree to deliver new money to protect natural resources and help developing countries cope with climate change. You can help by asking Chris Huhne, the Energy and Climate Change Secretary to make sure he pushes the UN advisory group to find fair and realistic ways to raise funds for tackling climate change impacts.
Help keep the new Energy Bill green
The new UK Energy Bill is a real opportunity to make sure we hit the carbon reduction targets set in the UK and Scottish Climate Change Acts. It could drive down emissions by improving home energy efficiency and supporting the transition to cleaner, greener electricity.
The government will decide exactly what's in the Bill at the end of July, so we need your help right now to make sure the most important measures are included.
Help protect the western gray whale!
We need you to help stop a serious threat to the critically endangered western gray whale.
Russian oil and gas company Rosneft is planning a potentially harmful underwater survey within the next few weeks, centred in the whales' most important feeding and nursing area.
A major seismic survey – blasts of noise to find oil and gas deposits under the sea floor – could significantly disturb nursing whales. Scientists believe this important area – off Sakhalin Island in the Russian Far East – is where the mother gray whales teach their calves to feed just before they become independent.
We need your help to tell Rosneft to postpone this survey!
What Wood You Choose?
Where does your toilet paper come from? And how about that wooden flooring you bought? Did you know you could be supporting the illegal timber trade, which costs billions to developing economies?
Our What Wood You Choose campaign looks at the impacts of your choices on people in Indonesia and central Africa, and helps you choose wood and paper from responsibly-managed forests.

Protecting our seas - Campaign success!
After a decade of campaigning by WWF and others the Marine and Coastal Access Bill gained royal assent on the 12th November and is now an Act. This means that for the first time in over 20 years the UK Government has a duty to protect our seas.
