ACT NOW CHANGE FOREVER: WE DID IT!

On 9th July 2025, over 5,000 people came together at Westminster to call on MPs to act now for a healthier, fairer, safer future. It was one of the biggest moments for climate and nature this year, and the largest mass lobby of the decade. 

We asked MPs to back bold, practical action by committing to:

1. Deliver vital funding to communities hit hardest by climate change here and around the world 

2. Cut bills, back UK jobs, and secure a greener fairer future for all 

3. Restore nature to create a safer, healthier future

People travelled, far and wide, from across the UK  to speak directly to their MPs. From schoolchildren to surfers, parents to pensioners, campaigners to conservationists, the diversity and strength of the movement was impossible to ignore.

Beyond the meetings, Westminster came alive with colour and energy. Banners, placards and artwork filled the streets across our four fantastic venues – and, of course, the iconic Parliament Square. 

WWF’s panda, Water Aid Toilets, a giant melting ice-cream, surfboards, placards and people turned Westminster in to a hub of colour and solidarity.

Inside the QEII Centre, the rooms buzzed with conversation, panel discussions, performances and speeches. And for those lucky enough to join a WWF-guided nature walk through St James’s Park, there was a moment of calm and reflection in nature.

Act Now, Change Forever was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we show up – together, side by side - to demonstrate the overwhelming public support for action on climate and nature.

Together, we brought our MPs an unmissable message: communities across the UK are ready for bold, practical action on climate and nature - and we won’t stop here.

Prime Minister Starmer's response to the Mass Lobby

Thousands of us showed up to Westminster to demand bold, practical action - and the Prime Minister heard us.

In response to the Act Now, Change Forever Mass Lobby, PM Keir Starmer shared a statement recognising the strength of our movement and outlining the Government’s commitments to clean energy, warmer homes and nature protection. We'll be watching closely to see that they keep to their word. It’s a sign that when we come together, we can shape the national conversation - and the future. Here’s what he had to say:
