This misrepresents the issue. Manufacturing output as a share of GDP has been falling for decades, long before the Climate Change Act or Net Zero.
Covid and the gas price spike pushed us past a tipping point. But a bold, clean long term strategy is our chance to reindustrialise.

Why is such a vital industry so often ignored when it comes to industrial strategy?

A small step for the government, but a giant leap for our long running @GreenAllianceUK campaign for greater ambition on #methane emissions.
Thanks Ed, Kerry and DESNZ officials for seeing this opportunity to once again lead the world on #ClimateAction
🎉📢 Excellent news for climate action: The government has committed to a methane action plan - and in time for #COP30 this year!
Last night, we attended a reception where we heard encouraging words from @Ed_Miliband, @WBHoekstra , the COP30 President, @KerryMP + more.

Yesterday at #LondonClimateActionWeek #LCAW2025 I spoke as part of this panel discussion on methane and super pollutants
The UK’s Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change said that the UK could not meet its new ambitious climate plan with vigorous action on methane emissions. 🇬🇧
@liamkhardy, Green Alliance, explains what the UK has achieved and where it may be falling short. 💡

Response from @ShaunSpiers1, executive director, to today's spending review ⤵️
ALT Responding to the spending review in June 2025, Shaun Spiers, executive director of Green Alliance said “It’s great news that the government has kept its promise to invest £13.2 billion in giving families warm, cheaper-to-run homes. This will increase energy security and fill a big gap in the government’s plans to curb climate change. It’s also positive that the chancellor has increased funding for nature, which will build national resilience. All in all, there is much to welcome in the chancellor’s spending review.” "
It was great to visit this working landfill gas capture site recently, & speak to @DrDavidGK about methane, as featured in @bbcmtd on Tuesday.
See the thread for links to the story, our briefing, a new blog, & yesterday's report. Big week for methane thinking at Green Alliance!
"Tackling methane emissions can have an immediate effect. We should be thinking of action on methane as the emergency brake on climate change." - @liamkhardy spoke to @bbcmtd on the issue 👇

Thank you to @AfzalKhanMCR for sponsoring this event and your support of a methane action plan👇
A long time coming, our detailed look at the National Methane Action Plan the UK *should* have (but doesn't)
Cutting methane emissions fast is the best way to avoid reaching dangerous climate tipping points.
Our latest report outlines a cross sector plan to cut UK methane emissions soon and lead on this global emergency brake on climate change.

"The past year has been turbulent for the steel industry, Port Talbot, now Scunthorpe. But what is primary steel? And how important is it to the UK’s steel industry’s future?"

🏭⚡ Our latest research, supported by the European Climate Foundation, asks why electrification isn’t being prioritised to cut emissions from UK industry, increase resilience to fuel price shocks and contribute to economic growth.

From toothpaste to clothing, most of modern life relies on the chemical industry and its products - an industry reliant on fossil fuels causing significant emissions.
For sustainable chemicals day #SCM2024, let's explore our work highlighting the sector’s climate impact.

>90% of goods rely on the chemicals industry, but without policy to phase out fossil fuels, its future hangs in the balance.

New @GreenAllianceUK blog out today as @COP29_AZ begins. I argue that now is the moment for the UK to step up and fill a gap likely to be left by the US when it comes to global leadership on methane emissions

Today marks the beginning of @COP29_AZ, and it's a prime opportunity for the government to show a renewed commitment to climate leadership.
Head of research @liamkhardy outlines why bringing a UK methane action plan would be a great way to achieve this:
