C4C led a delegation of Australian MPs to attend COP26 in Glasgow. In conjunction with COP26, we partnered with the UK Conservative Environment Network and the American Conservation Foundation to host the Global Conservative Climate Summit. This summit gathered prominent politicians and thought leaders from around the globe to discuss and advocate for a conservative approach to climate change. Our MPs signed the world’s first Centre Right Climate Action Declaration, coinciding with the anniversary of Margaret Thatcher’s landmark 1989 UN global environment speech. This declaration has been signed by 300 legislators from 46 countries.
The safeguarding of precious natural resources has always been a key feature of conservative governments. We believe that the environment should be front and centre of policy discussions. Transitioning to cleaner energy and improving sustainable practices is not only good policy but makes economic sense and is essential for our people’s future. We coordinate environmental action by organizing events and discussions covering waste and water management, renewables and clean technologies, green transport, decarbonization of heavy industry, sustainable agriculture, and biodiversity.
