The Big Six energy companies have got us hooked on dirty fossil fuels and make huge profits from a stitched-up system.

Friends of the Earth want the Government to launch a public inquiry into energy prices.

With the Big Six's soaring profits in the headlines we have a fantastic chance to fix our broken energy system.

The threat of unstoppable climate change gets ever closer and many governments seem to be doing very little to prevent it. It is vital we get politicians to sit up and take notice.

Many voluntary organisations are planning African-themed events during the first week of the UN Climate talks in Durban at the end of November.

European environment ministers will meet on 10 October to discuss the next UN climate conference in Durban, South Africa.

Millions of people across the world are already affected by the impacts of climate change. The outcome of the climate summit in December is crucial for the future of the planet and people who live on it.

People from Cardiff have helped the UK take an important step towards cutting climate-changing emissions.

Thousands of people demanded that councils need independent expert advice to help cut carbon emissions in their area - and now they will get it.

Energy Minister Chris Hune has ignored a petition signed by over 10,000 people asking that the independent Committee on Climate Change gives advice to councils on how to cut climate gas emissions.

We've got Ministers to talk about council action on climate change emissions. They have declared action by councils to be 'vital' to meeting our Climate Change Act targets.

The Energy Bill is meant to drive energy efficiency nationwide, but it still doesn't include a commitment to councils taking action on climate change.
