Andy Burnham’s first 100 days as prime minister have brought a new political landscape for the UK’s environmental agenda. With one budget delivered and early signals emerging about the government’s priorities, what have we learned about the role of climate and nature in shaping its direction? And how is the public responding to the government’s first steps?

The first budget offers important clues about the government’s economic priorities, its approach to public spending and the opportunities for environmental progress. With pressure to deliver economic growth, improve living standards and restore trust in politics, the challenge is to make climate and nature central to the country’s future, demonstrating how action can deliver tangible benefits for people and communities.

Join Green Alliance for a webinar examining the government’s first 100 days, including what the latest polling tells us about public attitudes towards the new government and its early decisions. Our experts will explore how the budget has landed, what this means for the environmental agenda, what we should expect next, and where the sector must push harder to secure the ambition and action needed on climate and nature, with plenty of time for audience Q&A.
