All Party Parliamentary Group for the Environment

Our work as secretariat

Overview

The All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Environment (APPG) is a cross-party group of MPs and peers that works to boost ambition and promote informed debate on climate, nature and resource use in Westminster. Parliamentarians are supported by associate members from businesses, charities and trade bodies. Since September 2020, Green Alliance has been the secretariat for the APPG. 

The Environment APPG has successfully campaigned for the UK’s exit from the harmful Energy Charter Treaty (ECT), the banning of disposable vapes, and the extension of the Marine Protected Area (MPA) in the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. 

We run high-profile events in Parliament, with recent speakers including Nature Minister Mary Creagh MP, Dame Glenys Stacey, the Chair of the Office for Environmental Protection, and Energy Minister Andrew Bowie. 

We launched our Climate and Nature Leadership Programme in the new Parliament in 2024. The programme is run in collaboration with the Climate APPG and provides expert training on climate and nature issues for MPs and peers, aiming to create the next generation of environmental champions in Parliament. 

See the APPG website for the latest information 

As the secretariat for the Environment APPG, Green Alliance impresses with its wealth of experience and expertise across politics and the environmental sector.

Ten point plan for climate and nature

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on the Environment’s ten point plan for climate and nature provides government with a menu of policy options which would help to fulfil the UK’s environmental ambition.

The plan calls for a net zero devolution deal, ambitious nature targets, improvements to home efficiency and more. With backing from metro mayors, senior parliamentarians, business and environmental leaders, the plan demonstrates the widespread support that exists across the country for green policies.
