The UK has broken its hottest ever May day record for the second day in a row, while a landmark climate report warns the country is now ‘built for a climate that no longer exists’.
It’s clear: we need urgent action to tackle the climate crisis and protect life as we know it.
Heatwaves are expected to exceed 40C across the UK by 2050, with longer periods of extreme heat causing an additional 10,000 heat-related deaths yearly.
The most vulnerable in society will be hit hardest, with care homes and hospitals unequipped to cope & workers forced to labour in extreme heat.
Still the impacts of climate breakdown are being felt even more intensely across the Global South. Across South and south-east Asia, temperatures are so extreme that informal workers can no longer recover from the heat – battling exhaustion in unbearable conditions.
A just transition away from fossil fuels and towards societies built on publicly-owned renewable energy, strong public services and equality is no longer optional – it’s necessary. Visit our website to take action.
