Climate change: what’s next?

Following important international achievements such as the Paris Agreement, the UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP), the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford, the All-Party Parliamentary Climate Change Group and Mediaplanet joined forces to create an integrated campaign to keep climate change on the public agenda.
