International | Conservative Environment Network

Our international programme

Our international programme aims to empower the global centre-right to increase its ambition and speak and act confidently on climate change and nature restoration.

We urgently need more conservative policymakers to become climate leaders to meet our global climate goals. This is why the international community needs to emphasise building support for climate action among conservatives and promoting market-based solutions to climate change.

The UK has a unique global leadership role as the first major economy to legislate for net zero. The Conservative Environment Network has the experience and expertise to lead global efforts to promote conservative environmentalism and to support and learn from our partners abroad.

We're working to build international ambition and strengthen our relationships with conservative legislators and policymakers around the world. As well as sharing resources like case studies, we host delegations, webinars and roundtables with international partners.
