Really pleased to share this news which is a great recognition of the efforts of the Operation Noah team past and present and all our partners and supporters.

Huge congratulations to everyone who has been on this journey with us. A real honour to be shortlisted for this prestigious award and a testament to the absolute doggedness of hundreds of campaigners over many years.

If you've ever had trouble explaining to people why climate change is not just important but *urgent*, this video with some old guy might be useful.

Two facts:
