UK’s CAN Bill: A draconian, vague law and what we can do to stop it before it’s too late

 The Climate and Nature Bill is being largely ignored by the media, despite being the most important bill in a decade, and its potential impact on freedom and government overreach.

“The bill aligns closely with other International initiatives like the EU’s Nature Restoration Law and the UN’s Agenda 2030,” Spofforth said.

As it nears its second reading in the House of Commons, the Bill has the support of 182 Members of Parliament (“MPs”).

Over time, the Bill has changed names and had various sponsors. Former Green MP Caroline Lucas initially introduced the Bill to the UK House of Commons in September 2020 and has continued to support the bill and co-sponsored it multiple times. When Lucas introduced it, the Bill was titled the ‘Climate and Ecology Bill’. Labour MP Olivia Blake reintroduced the Bill in May 2023.

Labour MP Alex Sobel reintroduced campaign group Zero Hour’s Bill under the new title ‘Climate and Nature Bill’ in May 2024, and was a co-sponsor of the Bill. Liberal Democrat MP Roz Savage, the current sponsor of the Climate and Nature Bill, reintroduced it on 16 October 2024. In her report, Spofforth has focused on the previous sponsor of the Bill, Alex Sobel.

Liberal Democrat MP Wera Hobhouse has been involved with the bill since April 2023. And Liberal Democrat MP Ed Davey, Labour MP Clive Lewis and Alliance MP Stephen Farry, for example, have sponsored the Bill multiple times.
