The CEN 2019 Manifesto
The CEN Manifesto was published in July 2019. It is an optimistic document. It argues that tackling the existential threat of environmental breakdown offers our divided country a new national project. It argues that this unifying mission can bring economic regeneration and natural restoration to all parts of the country. It argues that individuals can do more than they think, but that the job cannot be left to them alone. It argues that the UK enjoys a unique position on the world stage and is well placed to offer leadership and authority on this task. And finally, it argues that while a romantic attachment to the countryside may be a particularly conservative instinct, the desire to protect our planet for our children’s sake is something that unites us all.
