The Living Planet Act
Sign our petition
Your Challenge
Nature is our life support system, but right now it’s in trouble.
WWF has a unique solution that can help bring our world back to life. We’re urgently calling for a new law at Westminster, the Living Planet Act.
You can help by signing our petition to let our leaders know that they must stabilise the climate, protect and restore nature, and help our farmers produce plenty of healthy, affordable food, without causing harm to nature and climate overseas.
Why you're doing this
Extreme climate change and the destruction of nature are happening scarily fast. We’ve seen the average size of wildlife populations fall by a staggering 73% since 1970. And we’re not just talking about risks to wildlife. It’s about our own health too, our food supply, our whole future.
The UK government already has some legal targets for tackling climate change and nature loss (none of which it’s on track to meet). But it should also be thinking about how our need for food fits alongside these.
The big challenge facing us is, how do we make the most sensible use of the limited land and seas we have, in ways that nourish us, but without harming the nature and climate we all depend on? We can’t just shift the problem overseas by importing more of our food from other countries
How you'll make a difference
The good news is, we know what to do. We can stabilise the climate, protect and restore nature, and help our farmers produce plenty of healthy, affordable food without harming our environment. We know it’s possible to do all this, but not the way the UK government works at the moment. Right now, we’re failing on all three fronts.
That’s why WWF is urgently calling for a new law at Westminster – the Living Planet Act. It will mean the UK government has to take ‘joined-up’ action to stop the climate crisis, look after nature, and make sure everyone has better access to healthy, affordable food, now and in the future. Instead of treating nature, the climate and food as three completely separate or conflicting issues, they’d all be seen as important pieces of the same puzzle.

By signing our petition your name and postcode, along with all other signatory's will be handed into the UK Government to demonstrate public support for a Living Planet Act.
