Reference excerpt

Zero Hour (formerly the CEE Bill Alliance) is a UK non-profit organisation founded in August 2020 that campaigns for legislation to address climate and nature breakdown in line with scientific consensus. Its work spans parliamentary lobbying, policy development and public engagement on areas including climate adaptation, energy security and nature recovery. Zero Hour launched its campaign for a Nature and National Security Bill in May 2026, having led the campaign for the Climate and Nature Bill between 2019–25. Zero Hour also serves as secretariat for the Climate and Nature Crisis Caucus (CNCC), a cross-party group in the UK Parliament chaired by Olivia Blake.

Strategy Zero Hour pursues three main objectives: securing new climate and nature legislation based on scientific consensus, rebuilding cross-party parliamentary support through the CNCC, and strengthening community resilience by connecting activist networks across the UK.

History Zero Hour was founded in August 2020 as the CEE Bill Alliance to campaign for urgent, science-led and joined-up climate and nature legislation for the UK. Supporters of the campaign drafted the 'Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill' (also known as the 'Three Demands Bill'), which was promoted ahead of the 2019 general election. The bill sought to set legally binding, science-led climate and nature objectives for the UK – and establish a citizens' assembly to help develop an integrated government strategy. On 2 September 2020, the Climate and Ecology Bill was presented in the House of Commons by Caroline Lucas, then a Green Party MP. Lucas represented the bill in the Commons on 21 June 2021. Lord Redesdale introduced the bill in the House of Lords on 25 May 2022 via the ballot procedure – where it was amended to the 'Ecology Bill' – and completed all Lords stages. The bill did not advance through the Commons before the session ended. Olivia Blake (Labour) introduced the bill via the ten minute rule procedure on 10 May 2023. Alex Sobel (Labour/Co-op) presented the bill on 21 March 2024, when its short title was revised to 'Climate and Nature Bill'. Roz Savage (Lib Dem) advanced the bill to a second reading for the first time on 24 January 2025 via the ballot procedure. Like the Conservative Government before it, the Labour Government did not support the progression of Savage's bill between 2024–26, despite the Labour Party endorsing its "ambition and objectives" in May 2023. In January 2025, the Labour Government committed to alternative measures, having whipped against the bill's progression to committee stage. Ahead of a new parliamentary session beginning on 13 May 2026, Zero Hour called on MPs to enter the private members' bill ballot, which was drawn on 21 May 2026, and then choose to advance a Nature and National Security Bill. The successful MPs in that ballot have since been asked to support the bill.

Activities

Campaign work Zero Hour's public campaign activity has combined parliamentary lobbying with supporter-led constituency organising, campaign films, public briefings, exhibitions, letter-writing tools and commentary on related environmental legislation and policy. It has also supported the National Emergency Briefing on the climate and nature initiative, plus the related People's Emergency Briefing campaign.A recurring focus of Zero Hour's parliamentary work has been the new session private members' bill ballot. Over 2024, the organisation and its supporters contacted candidates ahead of the ballot on 5 September 2024. Savage was successful in the draw, and selected the Climate and Nature Bill as her chosen legislation. Zero Hour has critiqued government announcements and legislation on climate and environmental matters, such as the nature implications of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill and climate concerns related to continued North Sea oil and gas production. The organisation has also supported certain legislative proposals such as Clive Lewis' Water Bill in April 2025. It provides analysis to parliamentarians and the public on legislative developments, creates digital MP lobbying tools, organises exhibitions (such as its Letters from the Global South project), runs lobby days (such as its children's lobby in Parliament Square in September 2021), hosts public forums (such as its town hall in Tewkesbury in June 2022), organises webinars and events (such as its election husting in Holborn and St Pancras in June 2024) and participates in mass-lobbies (such as Restore Nature Now in June 2024 and Act Now, Change Forever in July 2025). Zero Hour's campaigning has also incorporated international and global justice themes, including commentary on COP summits, climate finance, the Paris Agreement, biodiversity agreements, and initiatives such as its Letters from the Global South exhibition.

Policy development Zero Hour provides analysis and advice to MPs through the Climate and Nature Crisis Caucus (CNCC), which it serves as secretariat. It also worked with MPs and Peers to seek to amend government bills, such as the 2021 Environment Bill.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Zero Hour campaign (UK)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Zero Hour campaign (UK) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Zero Hour campaign (UK) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Zero Hour campaign (UK) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Zero Hour campaign (UK)

In research: Zero Hour campaign (UK) appears in earth science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Zero Hour campaign (UK) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Zero Hour campaign (UK) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2020 establishments in the United Kingdom, Climate change organizations, Environmental advocacy groups, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
