What we are

Decarbonise Now is a campaign network, which campaigns for policies that put the UK on the fastest route to eliminating greenhouse gas emissions. This process is known as decarbonising, hence the name ‘Decarbonise Now.’

Campaigns aim to take a headline policy that is widely accepted as a priority to reduce the UK’s emissions, and provide compelling evidence and arguments to decision makers as to why these solutions are the right decision.

Previous examples of Decarbonise Now’s work in the past have included campaigns for green investment, opposing the decision to build a new coal mine in Cumbria, providing evidence on low carbon Heavy Goods Vehicles. Most of all though, Decarbonise Now has campaigned actively for rapid and affordable adoption of electric vehicles, including successfully for the introduction of Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate. This also included a ban on full petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030, which was subsequently later overturned. You can find more detail on the ‘Campaigns’ tab.

Decarbonise Now is a campaign, not an NGO or business, and therefore is entirely run by volunteers with a background in the climate and energy space, receiving no external funding. It aims to the influence the debate purely through reason and facts alone.

What we are not

Decarbonise Now represents a common cause, not an ideology – it is not aligned to any political party or philosophy.

The only policies of the campaign are that the UK needs to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions as quickly as possible, whilst not negatively affecting society or the economy. The aim is therefore to unite all those who share this view, regardless of other political or philosophical views.

Decarbonise Now is not a protest group, and it uses reasoned arguments and communications within the law.
