‘Actively damaging policies’: Conservatives by far the worst on environment, finds NGO

The NGO, which describes itself as a politically impartial organisation, allocated one point to each party where it pledged to tackle the causes of problems such as climate change, the decline in nature and air pollution. 

Looking across promises to improve the environmental performance of transport, aviation, food and energy as well as empowering and funding councils so that they can tackle the climate emergency through their planning duties, Friends of the Earth scored each party out of a total possible 45 points.
