Heatwaves aren't just extreme weather events. They're disability rights emergencies.

Read more from Doug Paulley, disability rights activist and co-claimant in our legal challenge against the government's weak adaptation plan.

Disabled campaigners say the official advice for staying safe in a heatwave can put them in more danger.

Climate change will only worsen the impact of toxic sites in Wales. More intense flooding could cause deadly chemicals to surface and spread into fields and waterways.

We need a public inquiry now, says Kirsty Luff of Friends of the Earth Cymru.

The Hollywood actor investigates claims cancer-causing chemicals were dumped across Wales.

Adding a third runway at Heathrow would be wrong for countless reasons. It's time for Andy Burnham to end this scheme once and for all.

It's hot - so why not take a dip? Or maybe not, as every single body of water in England has toxic chemicals in it!

Meanwhile our bills keep going up, companies profit and bosses get huge payouts.

It's time for a sea change... The government must take power and profit out of the hands of polluters and give us clean water now.

Environment Agency assessments find just 14.3% of country’s surface waters in good ecological status

"This sorry situation is a result of deliberate deregulation, far too much leniency in holding polluters accountable and a reluctance to act with the urgency needed for restoring our environment.

“The government can explain the data as it wishes, but the numbers don't lie. We desperately need ministers in the newly reshuffled Cabinet to start treating this with the seriousness it deserves. That starts with bringing forward a Clean Water Bill this autumn that matches the scale of the challenge we face.” - Paul de Zylva, senior campaigner at Friends of the Earth.

A comprehensive assessment of England's waterways is the first in six years and shows little improvement.

With this summer's extreme temperatures putting extra pressure on the NHS, our health service is being stretched in ways normally reserved for the winter flu season. The climate crisis is making heatwaves more frequent, intense and deadly.

Nearly 3,000 people tragically lost their lives in UK heatwaves this year. And of these, over 40% are thought to be linked to climate breakdown. Without urgent action to cut emissions and make the nation more resilient to extreme weather, the human cost will keep rising.

Health secretary says global heating means UK hospitals and GPs will have to prepare for summer as well as winter peaks of demand

“While BP banks another round of enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price through sky-high energy bills and a climate crisis accelerating rapidly out of control.” - Rosie Downes, the head of campaigns at Friends of the Earth.

“Clearly not everyone is feeling the pain of the energy crisis. While BP banks another round of enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price through sky-high energy bills and a climate crisis accelerating rapidly out of control with increasingly severe heatwaves, wildfires and droughts.” - Rosie Downes, head of campaigns at Friends of the Earth.
