  • Getting to Zero
    Getting to zero A practical policy commission to deliver decarbonisation in the UK Ted Christie-Miller About Onward Onward is a campaigning thinktank whose mission is to develop new ideas for the next generation of centre right thinkers and leaders. We exist to make Britain fairer, more prosperous and more united, by generating a new wave of modernising ideas and a fresh kind of politics that reaches out to new groups of people. We believe in a mainstream conservatism – one that recognises the value of markets and supports the good that government can do, is unapologetic about standing up to vested interests, and assiduous in supporting the hardworking, aspirational and those left behind. Our goal is to address the needs of the whole country: young as well as old; urban as well as rural; and for all parts of the UK – particularly places that feel neglected or ignored in Westminster. We will achieve this by developing practical policies that work. Our team has worked both at a high level in government and for successful thinktanks. We know how to produce big ideas that resonate with policymakers, the media and the public. We will engage ordinary people across the country and work with them to make our ideas a reality. Onward is an independent, not-for-profit thinktank, registered in England and Wales (Company Registration no. 11326052). Thanks Onward is a small non-profit that relies on the generosity of our donors and patrons to do our work. We are particularly grateful to our partners for the Getting to zero programme - the European Climate Foundation, the Purpose Foundation and the Quadrature Climate Foundation.
